    It is known that nitrite is an additive that is harmful to health. It is added because nitrite can play a role in color protection, and more importantly, it can inhibit a variety of anaerobic clostridia, due to this function. There is no ideal substitute for the currently used additives, so it is widely used, mainly focusing on its dosage.
