2. When eating processed meat products, pickles and other foods, it can be matched with foods rich in vitamin C, tea polyphenols and other ingredients to reduce the toxicity of nitrite that may be contained.
To prevent nitrite poisoning, we should strengthen our awareness of self-protection and prevent food poisoning caused by eating nitrite by mistake. Consumers are advised to buy salt sold through formal channels. Pay attention to eating fresh vegetables, and don't eat vegetables that have been stored for too long or gone bad. Leftover cooked vegetables should not be stored at high temperature for too long. You'd better cook and eat now. Try not to cook with "bitter well water" and avoid long-term storage if necessary.
Extended data:
There are four common causes of food poisoning caused by nitrite.
1, because nitrite is similar to salt in appearance, it is the main cause of poisoning that nitrite is mistakenly used or eaten as salt.
2. It is because many areas in China have the habit of home-made processed meat products, and eating meat products with excessive nitrite can also cause food poisoning.
3. The nitrite content in vegetables that have been stored for too long, rotted or boiled for too long and just pickled will increase, which will easily lead to poisoning.
Well water in some areas contains a lot of nitrate (called "bitter well water"). If the boiled rice is stored for too long, nitrate will be reduced to nitrite under the action of bacteria, leading to poisoning.
