Snack sticks held overnight with encapsulated citric

[Twebb10146]

I made 25 lbs of jalapeño snack sticks, and stuffed them all at once with all the seasoning, sure cure, encapsulated citric etc. I forgot about that I could only smoke 12 lbs at once, so I put the remaining stuffed snack sticks in the refrigerator til the next day. I noticed that you are not suppose to hold the sticks overnight with the encapsulated citric as it acts as a accelerant to the nitrate. Are they going to be safe to eat?

ECA melts at 135F you should be fine I have done the same thing a few times
As far as safe, even if they should somehow dissolve the meat would still be safe, just discolored grey

I used to laugh at Austin when he’d tell me eventually I wouldn’t need to respond to most posts as other people would know enough. Then it happened and I was sort of sad for a bit but I’ve come to be proud of the fact that so many Meatgistics users know so much!

Jonathon, It is obvious that a lot of guys here have not only been attending class, but they have been paying attention to the teacher as well.

Jonathon we still like to see you involved. It helps to keep us honest and gives us an opportunity to bring you over to Team Orange.

There are few things I will “die on a hill” for. @Team-Blue is one of those few things. Did William Wallace paint his face orange? No, he painted his face blue!
