Santo Domingo.-A Consumer Protection Agency study found that many of the locally-manufactured salamis contain additives, preservatives and dyes harmful to health.

It also proved the existence of several clandestine sausage factories which operate with neither health permits, supervision nor regulation.

 The study also found that some of those products don’t have ingredients listed on their labels or fail to list some of those used in their manufacture.

Quoted by eldia.com.do, Agency director Altagracia Paulino will host a press conference with General Rules and Regulations Dept. (Digenor) this week to release the results of the study on the quality of sausages. "The problem isn’t whether it’s made ??with mechanically deboned meat (MDM) or not, it’s about what the label says."

Where is the beef? Name brands and vendors. Unfortunately, this type of reporting above places all locally manufactured salamis suspect. We need to know who to avoid and who is respectable.

I was told by a producer of embutidos here that it is common practice for them to put up to 8 times the legal amount of sulfites in the meat that is permitted in the U.S. I suppose that is due to not having electricity 24/7, the lack of education on the part of the consumer, and the lack of any law enforcement on the part of the local Food Quality Administration.
