Role of nitrate/nitrite and of processing and storage in the N-nitrosamine formation in certain foods

Last updated: 18.7.2025
Grant

This program addresses the critical issue of N-nitrosamine formation in various foods, compounds known for their genotoxic and carcinogenic properties. It aims to deepen scientific understanding by investigating the correlation between nitrates/nitrites, processing, and storage conditions and the levels of N-nitrosamines in food products. This initiative is vital for enhancing food safety standards and protecting public health across the European Union.
