An update for the organic farm shop were my wife and I buy meat is that the lady who runs the estate with her husband to which the farm shop belongs (leased out I believe) was there last week. I was able to talk to her about Sodium Nitrite and how it had effected me.

It seems she was aware of the issues and it looks as though they are going to try and push for their meat to be processed for bacon and gammons without the nasty chemical which is good news.

Hi Michael,

Bugger! I love pate for breakfast and it has SN in it. I know I shouldn't... but I love it.

Luckily there is bacon without it now and we always buy it. I think it is called Naked.

I've gone full fat butter and olive oil - no margarine or seed oils in our house.

It is SO infuriating that they poison our food. At least our meats aren't full of growth hormones, (unlike the States and Australia - where our wonderful govt are busy doing trade deals) but antibiotics are still a thing.

And that's before you look at what gets sprayed on the veggies. Each meal should come with its own chemical listing!
