To processed meat products, nitrite, nitrate, and their salts are added to improve color, flavor, and shelf life, and lowering the microbial burden. N-nitrosamine compounds are created when nitrosing agents (such as secondary nitrosamines) in meat products interact with nitrites and nitrates that have been added to the meat. With the consumption of such meat products, nitrosation reactions occur in the human body and an N-nitrosamine formation occurs in the gastrointestinal tract.
