On the occasion of World Cancer Control Day on February 4, Foodwatch France associations, the Cancer League and the Yuka application are calling for a ban on nitrites in food.
These additives added by the industry in processed meats, especially cold meats, could promote colon and stomach cancers.
Up to 4,000 new cases of cancer per year linked to the consumption of processed meat could be avoided by banning nitrites, say these three organizations.
They launched a petition in November to ban these controversial additives. Petition which has collected 180,000 signatures to date.
In this podcast, interview with Camille Dorioz, campaign manager at Foodwatch France (6 minutes). He reminds us in particular that the industry today knows how to produce cured meats without added nitrites.
