Salt content in Meat [General]
2010 Mar 5
Plugging the same #s into Nat2.0 (nat.illinois.edu/mainnat.html) seems to indicate that's normal as well.

There were three choices.
(1) normal stuff (seasoned) listing salt as an ingredient. It was loaded with salt so I move along (hate this kind of pork).
(2) PC free stuff (no ingredients list) but 55 mg of salt for 100 grams of meat?
(3) Counter stuff with no nutrition facts on it.
The clerk told me (2) and (3) were not seasoned but wondered about the salt content on product (2). Can anyone tell me if this sodium is naturally occurring or if it is simply the lightly seasoned version of (1). I found this which suggests it is natural but wanted to be sure:
Seasoned: www.nutritiondata.com
Versus Not: www.nutritiondata.com
Also of note.. I purchased (3) since I have always liked it the best. I looked up beef on the same site and found it to be 50 mg of salt per 100 grams also making me think it's natural.
