    Part 2 of the risk assessment of nitrate, nitrite and nitrosamines in food: The protocol

    No full text
    The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM) shall assess whether exposure to nitrates and nitrites from food poses a health risk for one or more groups in the Norwegian population. The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM) will calculate the intake of nitrate and nitrite from food for different groups in the population and assess whether this constitutes a health risk. This is a two-part task commissioned by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. As the first step, VKM has created an overview of which food items contain these substances and how much nitrate and nitrite they contain. The second part of the task is underway, where VKM will estimate nitrate and nitrite intake among different demographic groups in Norway and conduct a risk assessment. Background There is no existing data on which food items in the Norwegian market contain nitrate and nitrite, nor on the amounts present. Furthermore, the intake of nitrate and nitrite among different population groups in Norway is not known. Nitrate and nitrite can occur naturally in food and may also be added as a preservative or plant extract. Preservatives E 249, E 250, E 251, and E 252 are used to delay bacterial growth, thereby increasing food shelf life. Nitrate and nitrite have been linked to both positive and negative health effects.
