Salami row now brings pigs into the fray
SANTO DOMINGO. - Standards and Quality Agency (Digenor) director Manuel Guerrero Wednesday said his entity is interested in "adjusting" the rules of salami meat because in his view the current norm is “unenforceable."
He said his agency is interested in adapting the percentage of sodium nitrate in products, because the health requirements were lowered from 200 to 125 milligrams. "Lowering the percentage of moisture in salami is very difficult so standards should be adjusted for the product to be competitive.”
Guerrero’s statement responded to the journalist Huchi Lora, who asked him about the allegation by the pig farmers grouped in ADOGRANJA, that DIGENOR aims to lower the manufacturing standard because salamis don’t meet the minimum protein levels.
ADOGRANJA affirms that the agency will allow sausage makers to lower standards instead of forcing them to raise them so their products meet established requirements, warning that pricier salamis would lower the standard from 22 percent protein to 10, and the cheaper sausage from 16 to 7 percent.

I strongly believe the government of the Dominican Republic should adopt the very high US quality standards used by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as the only way to solve quality issues for Salami and all other locally produced food products.

Pigs are wonderful animals. Let them loose on a field and they'll eat anything in sight, plow it with their snout and fertilize it with dung.
subsequently, plant crops, and reap an abundance of hight quality produce without the necessity of added fertilizer or herbicide.
If planting corn, for instance, feed them the stalks and use grain for myriad derivative products...(cooking oil, chicken feed, alcohol distilling, beauty products, etc, etc.)
My pigs will be happy in their environment and will make for better-tasting, very high-quality sausage, sans antibiotics, hormones and caca.

Too much. Instead of maintaining quality standards because the salamis are bad, they lower the standards so the crap is in compliance. It's all a bunch of baloney!
