What I was looking for Phil is the breakdown of the ingredients.
Percentage of nitrate, nitrite and salt.

Sorry, I mis-understood. I don't know then - is the simple answer!

Lucas must supply one to commercial customers for them to be able to do their product ingredients lists on what they sell - it may be worth an email?

I can't remember whether Pokelsalz has both nitrite and nitrate?
Given that information and the knowledge that it complies to the new EU rules, it may be able to have a good guess at the levels?

Is there a particular reason why you need to know?

It does have Nitrate & Nitrite http://www.lucas-ingredients.co.uk/tbul ... -38387.pdf
They will have an ingredients declaration list, it's very unlikely it will give away their recipe.
Phil's right a good guess would be close, there's not much tolerance.

I hadn't noticed that bit. It appears from the text that the pump cure has just nitrite, and the pickle both nitrite and nitrate.

My best guess is that the pump (15% pump) has 0.5-0.6% Nitrite. The pickle's slightly more tricky, maybe somewhere around 0.25% of each?

You'd maybe be best not to use these figures though, until you've checked them yourself, or we've had corroboration from other forum members.

No particular reason, I bought some a couple of month ago and was just wondering what the make up was.

Thanks
