I had noticed that the fresh meat was "strange" and not like it used to be. After 2 severe stomachaches I decided no more beef for sure. I heard that fresh meat was having rosemary put in it but did not realize that it is being put into meat, chicken and only God knows what else. I thought they had to put this on the label. http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/rosemaryoleoresin.pdf (broken link) You just got to wonder what else is in the things we put in and on our bodies because they use this is lotions, etc. also. I wasn't sure whether this should be in food or health but am not happy that I have been looking on labels to find what is being added and this was not there. I did read another article where they said that with this product, the "stale" taste usually detected was not present. Yuck! We have also entirely given up meat and this is sure to reduce it further. Has anyone noticed how long it will stay red now? It did not used to be that way.
Rosemary leaf extract, also known as rosemary oleoresin is natural and safe traditional food preservative. Rosemary leaves extract carries the antioxidant properties which help prevent food-spoiling. Rosemary is a natural antimicrobial, and a better option than potassium sorbate or another type of chemical to retard growth of microorganisms. Usually listed in a group of "Natural flavors".
(It's also added to other meats like beef and pork).
Yes, to lotions, creams and ointments too - to retard rancidity in natural oils.

Well, rosemary itself is reasonably safe and traditional, but the concentrated extract may not be so.
Rosemary alone does help preserve foods and keep them from getting rancid, but it's also medicinal and not recommended for longterm daily use by John Lust in his old herb books.
Every food has some toxins, that's why we all have such large livers. Apparently some people's livers can't handle rosemary extract as well as others'.

Ok this doesn't make any sense. You gave up meat entirely, then you decided to try meat again that MIGHT have happened to have rosemarie resin that MIGHT have been the cause of your stomach aches. This further cemented your no meat stance even after you had SUPPOSEDLY rid your life of meat.
Yeah I think this needs to moved to the Vegan/Greenie board.
Why do you think that the rosemary extract cause your stomach discomfort?
Rosemary extract is nor a new addictive, and is added to many products that contain oil/fat.
