..64% is the amount of sodium nitrite in a _#2_ curing salt, in
addition to 6.25% nitrite. Prague/Instacure #1 should be 6.25%
nitrite - no nitrates. And salt makes up the other 93% of both of
them.

If that's all it says then it's illegal to sell it that way. Take
it back. There's no way to know what it really is.
