What it is

Ingredients To Support Quality is a blend of ingredients, often including cultured dextrose, sodium diacetate, and sodium erythorbate. These components work together to enhance the safety and shelf life of processed meats. They are typically added during the manufacturing process.

Why it's used

This blend is primarily used in processed meats like pepperoni, salami, and cold cuts. Its main function is to inhibit the growth of bacteria, particularly Clostridium botulinum, and to help preserve the color and flavor of the meat products. This extends their shelf life and maintains their appeal to consumers.

Health notes

Ingredients To Support Quality is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended in food. The individual components, such as sodium erythorbate, are used to cure meats and act as antioxidants. JECFA has evaluated some of the components and established acceptable daily intakes. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at the levels typically found in food.
