Oxidative Stability in Meat Products

Kalsec® conducted an online survey in April 2015 of 1,018 U.S. and UK consumers [509 from each region].
BHA/BHT has commonly been utilized as a preventative strategy for processed meat products.
In recent consumer research conducted by Kalsec®, U.S. and UK consumers chose “meat and poultry” as the top food category that they prefer to not contain artificial ingredients [Fig. 1].
But, with the surge in clean label demands, many companies are looking to replace BHA/BHT in their meat.
