Are preservatives used to prolong the shelf life of smoked fish?
Mrs. Peters uses no chemical preservatives in its smoking process nor do we use liquid smoke (also a chemical). Our curing and preserving is accomplished with a unique salting process and naturally formed smoke and heat. Our smoked fish and seafood spreads are made with commercially produced mayonnaise and salad dressing. Our final products contain some residual of freshness or flavor protectors which are inherent in the salad dressing and mayonnaise and are listed on our nutrition facts label.
