I assume it's because it's a preservative. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:15 5
- freezing should preserve it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:15 4
  - But if it drops below freezing during shipping or in the grocery store. I dunno...that's just my thought. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:17 3
    - If it actually thaws out, it's not safe to eat. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:18 2

        I meant during transit. they're supposed to discard them if that happens. - loosilu Jan 12, 08:25
I think it's a method of adding of flavoring, though I'm not sure. -- nm - ty97 Jan 12, 08:13
because we'd probably hate the taste. SOdium is not a bad thing. people get unnecessarily freaked over it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:13 3
- I trust physicians on this one, but thanks very much for your opinion. -- nm - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 08:17 2
  - Well, hopefully you never suffer from low sodium. I hear it's very painful when the nerves can't properly send signals. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 08:28
  - if you ask your physician they will probably tell you that if you have normal blood pressure and are not genetically sensitive to sodium, - loosilu Jan 12, 08:18
