6. • Curing salts are used in food preservation to prevent or slow spoilage by bacteria or fungus. They usually contain sodium nitrite which serves to inhibit the growth of bacteria, specifically Clostridium botulinum in an effort to prevent botulism, and helps preserve the color of cured meat. Many also contain red dye that makes them pink to prevent them from being confused with common table salt. Curing salts are not to be confused with Himalayan pink salt, which is pure salt with trace elements that give it a pink color. The human digestive system manufactures nitrites naturally, which is thought to help prevent botulism, which would thrive in the anaerobic conditions and temperature range of the digestive system. However, it is important to note that large amounts of sodium nitrite can be hazardous to your health or even be lethal. The FDA deems sodium nitrite as safe used in the proper proportion.
