By the end of 2020, Dietz & Watson deli slicing meats including turkey and chicken breast, ham and roast beef, will be uncured. They will not use nitrates or nitrites in their curing process for these products, the company announced.
“We will be removing nitrates and nitrates from many of our other products including franks, sausages and snacks and will be making announcements as we do” said Lauren Eni, VP of Brand Strategy for the company, and a 4th generation family member. “Our turkey and chicken breasts have always been uncured, so removing nitrates and nitrites from some of our other products is just another step towards giving consumers the most choice at the deli."
