There are way more nitrosamines in a thin slice of cured meat than any drug had before the regulations were put in place.
Interesting, I've never really thought about that, makes sense though. Also looks like decent amounts potentially (~0-84 ug/kg).
Surprising when they're usually only allowed in the single digit ppm range in pharmaceuticals, and many have been recalled due to nitrosamines.
