France cuts the nitrite content of processed meats
French parliament has approved a bill that seeks to gradually reduce the use of nitrite in cured meats. Plus the new act has ordered a review of the potential health risks of nitrite consumption by the end of June. Nitrite salts are widely used in cured meats such as ham, bacon and sausages, to extend their shelf life. Currently 90% of all cured meats include nitrites.
