Questionable Market Shrimp

[littlewangzfan]

Hi all,

I bought a package of frozen peeled uncooked shrimp. But upon reading the label I noticed Salt and Sodium Phosphate added to it to retain moisture. Anybody tried this? Is it safe? They're sold out on fresh ones so I grabbed this.
Thanks.

Not sure about that but it makes me want to check the label on the bag I have in my freezer....

its fine if its rated for human consumption. people frequently use these bags for fish food.

I have always wondered this myself. I'm guessing its ok, but really, are there other economical choices anyway? None that i've found, short of catching my own shrimp.

Doesn't seem to be...My bag of shrimp has the same stuff listed on the label.
