Nitrosamines are chemical compounds that form from the reaction of nitrites with secondary amines and are found in processed meats, tobacco products, and certain industrial environments. These compounds are known carcinogens, linked to various cancers, including liver, lung, and stomach cancer. The formation of nitrosamines can be mitigated through controlled use of nitrites, optimized processing [...]

    Nitrosamines are chemical compounds that form from the reaction of nitrites with secondary amines and are found in processed meats, tobacco products, and certain industrial environments. These compounds are known carcinogens, linked to various cancers, including liver, lung, and stomach cancer. The formation of nitrosamines can be mitigated through controlled use of nitrites, optimized processing conditions, and the inclusion of inhibitors like ascorbic acid. Regulatory bodies such as the FDA and EFSA have established limits to manage their levels in food and pharmaceuticals. Consumer awareness and informed choices play a crucial role in reducing exposure to these harmful compounds.
