sub4salt®
General information
sub4salt® is a patented mineral salt blend which helps to reduce sodium without compromising taste. A 1:1 replacement of salt by sub4salt® allows sodium reduction up to 50% whilst achieving identical functionality in finished products.
As a healthier solution/choice for the meat industry, sub4salt® cure combines the widely used sub4salt® with sodium nitrite (0.5%/0.9%). Complying with a regular curing salt, sub4salt® cure combines outstanding benefits of sodium reduction with the technological functionalities of a curing salt.
