It looks like the sodium metabisulphite being used as a preservative was specifically in the apple pulp - so, they obviously stored the apple pulp separately for a time before pickling it, hence the apples needing their own preservative. The other sulphite is apparently being used as a colouring rather than a preservative. I checked Branston's website, and assuming it's in date it looks like the recipe has changed, and now no longer has the preservative with the apple pulp - they must store it for less time before pickling it now, I guess? They do still use the Sulphite Ammonia Caramel as a colouring, though.

Good idea. In a nutshell, I would say: 1. Fresh produce: use your judgment; does it look/feel/smell fresh enough? 2. Fresh meat/fish and chilled cooked meat/meals: observe the 'use before' date on the packaging. If the date is getting close and you won't use it, freeze it if you can. the 'smell test' is not a very reliable method for meat. 3. Eggs: good for a week past the best before date at least. Crack them into containers and freeze them if you have more than you can use, or bake cakes (and freeze the cakes if necessary 4. Canned and dry goods - anything with an original expiry date measured in years: generally good for years past the expiry date, as long as the packaging is intact and stored in a stable environment

100% agree and im glad i watched this as i was not even aware i will be checking from now on no need to add something like that to something that is already made to preserve the fruit and veg in it exactly as you said pickle/chutney is a preserving method in its own right

Please could I ask if you have the recipe for the Damson Pickle written down anywhere? The recipes I have found are all what I would call "stone in" pickles where the Damsons are pricked, simmered in sugar, vinegar and (I think) salt over a few days but nothing is said about the stones. How did the person who made that jar deal with the stones? Whenever I have used Damsons in jam making I pulp them and extract the stones by hand with gloves but part of the appeal of that pickle is finding nearly whole fruit. The two varieties of Damson that I have are definitely "cling stone" varieties so cannot be split and de-stoned raw.

Sulphites really surprised me as firstly being present and secondly being an allergy issue. Didn’t know it was on the 14 ingredients list until literally today. New job, learn stuff. Keep up the good work fella

Sulphites (and Sulphur dioxide) were, for too long a time, not listed as allergens because there was a notion that only proteins can cause a genuine allergic reaction, but apparently what these chemicals do (or can do) is to denature your own body's proteins in such a way that your immune system recognises them as foreign and triggers a response. Jenny has had a couple of very serious reactions to this stuff, landing up in hospital on a few occasions.

The problem is that some people's bodies don't seem to give a *?#@×& what is or isn't considered "allergens" by the EU or FDA or god knows who. I'm severely allergic to paprika, bell peppers and especially chili peppers. They are all not listed as allergens. They can even be used for colouring in products where you wouldn't expect them or look for them on the ingredients list in the first place. E.g. in sweet, caramel flavoured microwave popcorn! My body reacts to these allergens (and yes, they are allergens) like someone with coeliac disease reacts to gluten..There might be fewer people with this (my) issue but does that mean our health and our lives are worth less and "our" allergens should be allowed to hide behind hyperonyms/euphemisms such as _"spices"?_ I don't think so.

My stuff is mostly in the 'free from' products as well, and all the regular products don't use it because it's not a cheap ingredient.

Gotta love all the people in this comment section going off on tangents about companies using "unwholesome" food and "chemicals"... There is nothing wrong with the preservatives and flavourings used in almost all modern products, natural ≠ good and unnatural ≠ bad. They keep food viable for longer and are why people are as healthy and prosperous as we are to day. Atomic Shrimp's issue here is that this specific preservative is unnecessary for the product. If this was anything other than a preserved food I'd say that the allergies of a tiny proportion of people shouldn't dictate how food is made for everyone else. But yea, preservatives in a food made to be a preservative is dumb.

I think it's probably simpler in this case - I suspect the sulphite are present because they bought in their apple in bulk preprocessed ranks, preserved with sulphites

In all fairness, Campden Solution (aka Sodium Metabisulphite) was also invent in the 1920's specifically to preserve fruit and veg, so it may well have been in the original recipe before we moved over to using nitrogen gas.

Doesn’t it taste slightly different as well? I bought a jar yesterday to keep at work and made a bagel with cheese. I was not tasty at all. I don’t know if the recipe has changed or my tastebuds are too accustomed to the “higher end” chutneys and pickles (including the homemade ones)

Mrs. Shrimp might want to steer clear of home made wine. Amateur winemakers often sterilize their glassware, including the bottle by using sodium metabisulfite, also known as Campden tablets. It's the sort of thing that wouldn't be listed on the label.

Atomic 🍤, I was watching this old video. Is it possible they added the sulfites because they're somehow cheaper than salt, or they're the byproduct of some other manufacturing process the company has, which gives off the sulfites as food waste, that they then use in the pickle as a cost saving alternative? I don't know why I'm so curious about it, but I am a fan of pickled things, so it could be for that reason. By the way, have you ever tried pickled asparagus?

I'm sure there must be ancient jars of Branston to compare against. I get your point, it's supposed to be a pickle. It shouldn't need extra preservatives, especially ones where people can be highly allergic to. They put lactose in many medicines too!

Would highly recommend "Tracklements" pickle, all natural ingredients and no sulphite, tastes better too!

The big agribiz companies put a lot of chemicals in their products that are not needed. You should see the chemicals they put into many/most of the foods in the U.S. We have also had a big stink over the term "Organic" here. FDA has left a pretty large loophole in that definition. My attitude is if it's really a pickle, why do they have a "use before" date on it"? Typically a year to 2 years, max here. My mother made pickles that easily lasted 5 years without problems. Now, I make my own horseradish sauce using home grown horseradish root, salt, vinegar & my well water. Nothing else. It lasted well over a year in the fridge, and probably would have lasted longer had I not used it all up on meats and sandwiches.

Of course, there is a commercial reason why Branston contains sulphites, it's because they'e buying in their apples in preprocessed form in huge bulk. When you buy apple slurry by the tanker-load, it's going to contain sulphites to inhibit fermentation. Still, that's only a triumph of industrial uniformity over quality.

shrimp just went ALL IN

Thank you. I thought sodium metabisulphite was banned. Now I know why I hate the stuff. It gives me a headache.

I never liked Branston. I always preferred the now long-lost 'Pan Yan' pickle. I just looked in my fridge, and most commercially available pickles and chutneys seem to contain sulphites. The Arran onion chutney does not, but anything with apples or fruit seems to - which says to me that they are using dried fruit in their recipes. Most dried fruit is preserved with sulphites.

I genuinely thought that you were going to rip out your self made branston pickles!

Why hadn't you eaten the homemade chutney already?

I adore Branston and I am American. I have to order it from Amazon.

I want some cheese and pickle now

That damson chutney looks damn tasty!

It looks too much like jam.
