I attempted a sous vide turduckin using turkey, duck, and chicken breast in a roulade. I sprinkled Activa RM liberally at each interface, and wrapped it with thin sliced ham. The whole thing went into the sous vide at 132 for 24 hours with intention of increasing it to 139 for the last hour.
First problem: After about 16 hours the package decided to float, and I discovered visible "air" inside it that had not been there. I condemned the product immediately, as any "inflation" suggests spoilage of some sort.
Second Problem: The Activa RM from an Amazon seller, fully sealed double seal factory package, etc, failed to do it's job. I've used it twice, and both times it failed to make a bond. It's going into the garbage.
I tested the product on a local feral cat.......no ill effects. He was back for more this morning as expected. I wouldn't have fed it to him if I'd really been afraid of serious spoilage / toxicity.
Thoughts anybody??
