Given that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded in its opinion of 25 March 2009 [2] that the presence of nitrite in animal products does not raise any concern for human health, the products concerned should be exempted for the time being from the maximum level for nitrite in feed materials, while nitrite levels in those products and appropriate methods of analysis are further examined.
Kuna Euroopa Toiduohutusamet (EFSA) jõudis oma 25. märtsi 2009. aasta arvamuses [2] järeldusele, et nitritite sisaldus loomsetes toodetes ei ohusta inimeste tervist, tuleks kõnealuste toodete puhul peatada söödamaterjalis sisalduvate nitrite piirnormi kohaldamine seni, kuni nitritite sisaldust nendes toodetes ja asjakohaseid analüüsimeetodeid täpsemalt uuritakse.
