What is Sodium nitrite / nitrate, and why we flag it

Curing salt that gives processed meats (salami, sausage, ham) color and shelf life. The WHO classifies processed meat as a definite carcinogen (Group 1) largely for this reason; the EU lowered limits in 2023. Best protection: make processed meat an occasional thing.

This assessment is based on official sources (EU/SCCS/EFSA, IARC, WHO).
