When I go to the supermarket, I see that many food production materials contain nitrite. Is it normal for food to contain nitrite?

    Trace amounts of nitrite in food are normal, and it is precisely because of the presence of nitrite that the food industry has become. But what is worrying is that the decomposition product of nitrite and meat protein, amine, is combined into nitrosamine, which is the real carcinogen.
