Well, it's being used at the same rate. Call and ask for the ingredients - if it is it will be 6.25% sodium nitrite, salt plus some dye and glycerin.
It does look like a brand name for cure #1. When you find out the percentage of sodium nitrite let me know and I will add it to the list of other brand names.

keymaster you have amazing self control....
Wow! I really appreciate your follow-up.
It's like a television series, stay tuned for the next episode. :)
Is it sodium NITRATE or NITRITE?
I would think speed cure would be nitrite. I think of nitrate as a slow time release product used in dry cure of sausages where the nitrate breaks down into nitrites.
Good catch. I wasn't reading that closely. Nitrates are considered a slow cure, and do not provide and protection until they are reduced to nitrites.
With the name speed cure, you may want to ask Mitch if he made an error while typing. That is a common error.
Here is a description of popular types of cures and cure mixes I wrote up as a guide:

Let me know what you think.
Same stuff -- labeled both Prague Powder #1 and Speed Cure.
The last bag I picked up at Allied Kenco was labeled "Quick Cure".
