If your smallgoods contain additive 451, you are a sneaky bastard
Mineral salt 451, or sodium tripolyphosphate, is an additive used in food production to increase water retention.
That’s right – they charge by weight, and then make sure as much of what they sell you as possible is water.
Fucking. Water.
This means less flavour, and a rather unpleasant mouth-feel (read: soggy smallgoods).
