Besides these positive characteristics, it is proved a negative influence of this additive, because of the fact, that it can form carcinogenic N-nitrosoamine. Because of this, there are many scientific discussions on further allowance of nitrite use. On the basis of conclusions of numerous studies, the author tries to find the answer if the nitrite, as additive in meat industry, is necessary.
