~6 0~p>The expert debunked the myth of "quality" Soviet sausage for 2.20.
One of the popular myths about Soviet Union are cheap but “high quality” products. Some people still remember with nostalgia the sausage for 2.20 and complain that now it’s all “chemicals” and soy.
Journalist Pavel Bondarenko spoke about what was really in the popular meat product in the blog OBO.ZUA.
E 252, E 407, E 451, E 497 – this is from the recipe of Soviet sausages. Sodium phosphate monosubstituted 2-water, in addition to sausage, was also used in the production of glass washing liquid.
“And here is the “sausage” GOST 23670-79 (i.e. from 1979):” In single, lamb, pork, table, Moscow, tea sausage, it is allowed to replace 2 kg of beef or pork with 2 kg of potato starch or wheat flour,” writes the journalist.
Now, by law, the manufacturer must indicate its composition on the packaging of sausage, but in the Soviet Union they wrote the GOST number.
“And what's behind that number was hidden in the darkness of the DSK stamp. And soybeans have been grown in the USSR since the 30s of the last century by millions of tons – why do you think?,” Bondarenko summarizes.
Remember, nutritionists explained which myths about healthy eating you shouldn’t believe.
