The USDA defines an uncured product as one that has been preserved without the use of chemical agents. These products can be labeled “uncured,” “no nitrates added” or “no nitrites added” – very label-friendly terminology. These products are free of chemical curing agents, but they are typically made with ingredients that are inherent sources of nitrates and nitrites, such as celery, spinach and Swiss chard. There’s evidence that natural curing agents, such as celery powder, are quite inefficient at converting from nitrate or nitrite to nitric oxide, the form that reacts with the oxygen-binding proteins in the meat, creating the cured color. This creates an environment in the meat system of higher residual nitrates and nitrites, the precursors to nitrosamines, which are potent carcinogens associated with tumor growth in humans. I did a little digging on your "alternative" curing and this came up. Since natural vegetable extract is vague, I’d guess that is uses something along these lines.
