Consumer Reports new testing has found that ‘uncured’ deli meats contain similar levels of potentially cancer-causing nitrites and nitrates as ‘cured’ meats, making these labels virtually useless for consumers who want to eat healthier.
It’s time the USDA catches up with the science and ends the use of misleading ‘uncured’ and ‘No Nitrates or Nitrites Added’ labels in deli meats, hot dogs and other processed meat. Sign our petition to Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, and let’s get confusing food labels off the market!
