fresh herbs/spices in charcuterie?

[blucmal]

Is it ok to use fresh herbs spices(minced garlic chilli onion etc) in salami/salumi or should dried/ powdered ingrediants be used?

My personal opinion is no. Fresh herbs and spices could contain molds and bacteria, and root crops like garlic and onion are know to carry the bacteria that causes botulism.

Interesting. I was kinda thinking it may cause issues that one didnt cross my mind..
