Deli meats are ready-to-eat meat or poultry products. The majority of the deli meats are cured meat, chemical additives are added to the meat to extend the shelf life and to eradicate the growth of microorganisms. A single serving of cured meat contains 500mcg of nitrates. Potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite are the most commonly used curing agents, and they assist in maintaining the redness and color of the meat. Nitrates in the meat change into nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide dilates the blood vessel and lowers the blood pressure. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, nitrate is a potential producer of carcinogenic nitrosamines; nitrosamines are produced when cured meat products are heated to high temperatures (over 266°F or 130°C), such as frying or grilling the meat. Nitrosamines are linked to esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and heart problems. Consumers are gaining knowledge about the negative effects related to the consumption of cured meats. As a result, customers are migrating away from cured meat products to fresh cuts of meat that are devoid of curing agents and additives.
