| Summary: | Aims: The aim of the study is to assess nitrite residual in highly used processed meat products and investigate risk assessment nitrite in the products in growing age group in Isfahan in 2014.
Materials and Methods: The study is descriptive and analytical that 180 highly used processed meat product samples for its nitrite residue has been evaluated by Association of Official Analytical Chemists. In this study, the amount of highly used processed meat product consumption in growing age group has been provided by the questionnaire that has been confirmed by reliability and validity.
Results: The amount of nitrite residue in 180 samples that has been evaluated is below the standard of Iran (120 ppm). Amount of nitrite intake from meat products that has been consumed by the growing age group was 0.0058 mg/kg that is 8.28% of daily intake of nitrite.
