Soy protein in meat?

#1

So reading the label of some meat I bought at the local butcher shop and it lists the ingredients as follows: buffalo, salt, spice, water, honey, soya (not sure if that should read soy) nitrate, natural smoke, garlic

My question is with the soya, is that a filler, high carb??

Thanks

soya nitrate probably means a nitrate sourced from soy. Nitrate (usually sodium nitrate) is a preservative added to red meat that helps keep it red. The previous ingredient honey is going to be a bigger issue with respect to carbs though it depends on the quantity used. I think nitrates have been shown to be carcinogenic when fed to rats in very high dose and some avoid them as potentially harmful.

A typo perhaps? Soy instead of sodium??

That is not just plain meat — it’s got either a rub or a marinade on it.

soya is just another word for soy

Might want a pure source of meat
Soy … not as heart healthy as once thought.

Hello!

Soy meat alternatives are a healthy, high-quality protein source that contains all essential amino acids needed for growth. Soyfoods are a good source of essential fatty acids and contain no cholesterol and little or no saturated fat.
