My Nitrite Free Product is Slimy and appears a funny colour.

The chemically nitrate free product is 100% natural, made of the following clean ingredients: Free range Aus Pork, Sea salt, pepper, parsley, rosemary, honey, tapioca, carrot & celery. 

As it is a natural product we use a combination of tapioca and honey in the brine rather than any chemical liquid retaining agents or thickeners. Sometimes the moisture can seep out of the ham once packaged, it is nothing to worry about. You’ll note the color and texture is honey like. It is perfectly normal so please do not hesitate to consume on that basis.
