Cola and curing mix

Post by eastman17c » Wed Sep 04, 2013 07:21

this my first post, I would like to ask if its true that cola should not be mixed with curing salt
because it will form a potentially lethal compound.

Not true in the quantities used. Sodium nitrite is very toxic in larger quantities.

Amazing how a chemical use to preserve pork can also be utilized to kill it. RAY
