Ham and salami accounted for about 75% of the exposure to
NVNA (Fig. 2A and 2C). Ham, salami and sausages accounted for

ham, salami and sausages are the primary meat source of NA for
the Danish population. In Germany a higher intake of NA is expected,
partly due to the greater consumption of processed meat
(Linseisen et al., 2002) and partly due to the less restrictive EU
