If you’ve spent much time in the hot dog aisle of your local supermarket, you may have noticed more choices labeled “uncured.” What does this mean, and should you buy “uncured” instead of “cured” meat products?

If you’ve spent much time in the hot dog aisle of your local supermarket, you may have noticed more choices labeled “uncured.”The current debate over the safety of processed meats, such as hot dogs, sausages and bacon that are preserved with certain chemicals, is complex and contentious.

Curing meat is a way to make it inhospitable to bacteria, and thus safe to consume. Curing involves removing moisture and adding chemicals that inhibit the growth of food-borne pathogens. Nitrites check a lot of boxes when making meat safe, delicious and visually appealing. They help to inhibit the growth of bacteria, provide a visually pleasing pink color to the meat and they add a certain salty/meaty flavor for which products such as hot dogs, bacon, and sausage are known.

This is where “uncured” products come in. This is something of a misnomer, however, as they are still cured, but with ingredients other than synthetic nitrites and nitrates.
