Nestlé expands organic range
Nestlé France has expanded its Herta range with an organic, nitrite-free cooked ham.
“This unprecedented process [of nitrate-free curing], which required five years of research and development, produces ham guaranteed without nitrite salts, nitrite, nitrate or nitrites of vegetable origin while guaranteeing complete food safety,” the company said.
The organic Herta range now includes five meat products, and two ready-to-roll pastries.
The recommended retail price for the nitrate-free ham is €4.99 for a pack with four slices.
