Wiberg Natrivit salt replacement range

Wiberg has developed a solution to reduce sodium content in ham and sausage production. Natrivit is a salt replacement that ensures conventional functionality and does not impair the flavour of ham and sausage products.

Salt is an indispensable functional component of ham and sausage production and makes a crucial contribution to the success of delicious end products. At the same time, (excessively) high levels of salt in sausage and ham products are constantly coming under attack from critics.

Salt promotes the binding properties in meat products and has a positive effect on shelf life. Salt also naturally supports the meaty flavour in sausage and ham products. The Natrivit range of products with lower sodium content replaces traditional table salt and curing salt resulting in full-bodied taste and reliable function.

The company claims the products do not lose their flavour or function even though they do not contain allergen ingredients that are subject to specific labelling under EU regulations. The range provides solutions for all kinds of requirements: the special curing salt Natrivit Nitrite Salt is designed for producing reddened meat and sausage products, while the Natrivit Salt Mix has proved suitable for use in convenience specialities as well as in various sausage products.
