Letter: Letters: Salami alarm

Published 27 March 1993

From R. E. DURRANT

With reference to the enclosed wrapper from some Italian salami, I note
that one of the ingredients is potassium nitrate. How is it that the European
Community is happy to send us food containing nitrates while prosecuting
the UK over parts per million of nitrate in our water?
