It must be a canada thing. Searching in the US, I can get 2.5lb for $17

source: This is the regular one, but Canadian version (see red note on website) is different. It should be the same, but it ain't - note the diff in nitrAte quantities.

red note quote:

***We now offer a “Canadian” version of this product called: Curing Salt #2. It’s color is now white and the Nitrite and Nitrate contents meet Canadian regulations. Refer to SKU# 640100-036A.

So there is something fishy going on. Regular PP#2 is still available, but not at big retailers (amazon.ca, walmart.ca, etc)

There was even experiment made, it was suggested to change my shipping address from canadian to US and they were right: you go to amazon.COM here, keep your shipping address as Canada - website tells you that "Currently Unavailable", but you change your shipping address to somplace USA - $17/kg

Smaller retailers might not know about this new (?) regulation or are die hard outlaws and don't care about what some quacks in the gov't say (good for them!)
