I am kinda new to sausage smoking and made a mistake last week. I got my decimal in the wrong place and mixed 4.7 ounces of instacure rather than .47 ounces in 16 pounds of meat. The sausage is a little salty, but edible. My question is: Should the sausage be discarded or is it safe to eat?

Welcome to the SMF. 4.7 oz of what?

 

[mgwerks]

My first question is 4.7 ounces of what? If you are talking Instacure/pink salt/Prague #1, I'd err on the side of caution and pitch it out. The potassium sulfite in a large conscentration is a know health hazard.

Sorry I didn't make that clear. It was instacure which I overloaded the sausage with.

 

[desertlites]

Don't think twice and please throw that sausage out!!!!!!!!! theres threads in here on cureing-please read through them very carfully.

 

[bassman]

Welcome to the forum. I'll go along with mgwerks and say pitch it. The cure is some amazing stuff in the right quantities, but aren't healthy if you overdose.
