Hey folks, today I made a batch of pheasant snack sticks and put them into the smoker about an hour ago. However I just realized I completely forgot to add in smoked meat stabilizer as I typically do. They have been in a 125° smoker for approximately 45 minutes at this point. At this point is there anything I can/should do to ensure a safe product? Thanks!

Not including a cure accelerator won’t ruin a product or make it inedible. Just as craigrice said, don’t treat them as shelf-stable and you’ll be fine. Still eat and enjoy them!
