Nitrite de sodium is a chemical compound commonly used as a food preservative and color fixative. It is a salt composed of sodium and nitrite ions, and has a white to slightly yellowish appearance. Nitrite de sodium is often added to processed meats, such as bacon, hot dogs, and deli meats, to inhibit the growth of bacteria and extend their shelf life. However, excessive consumption of nitrite de sodium has been linked to health risks, such as the formation of cancer-causing compounds in the body. Therefore, it is important to consume this ingredient in moderation and in accordance with regulatory guidelines.
