Dave in AZ Great advice…thanks! I’ll try it.

Jonathon Thanks…I’ll check the label to see if MSG was part of the ingredients.

I actually eat little ham and bacon. Nitrite is listed as one of the triggers for migraines and the occurrence of them with both of these batches of summer sausage seemed very indicative. Might be something else. I stopped eating my summer sausage and the headaches ceased.

I used nitrite in my first two experiences in making summer sausage and each time, I suddenly experienced a series of migraine headaches. I haven’t had them in years and I’m thinking that nitrite may be the trigger causing them.
I’ve been told that celery juice powder can be used instead of nitrite. Is this correct?
