title: [Nitrite and nitrate content of meat and sausage products in the Republic of Cuba].
abstract: 283 samples of meat and sausages made from pork from the Meat-Works Colombia in the Country of Las Tunas--Republic of Cuba--have been analysed on their contents of nitrite and nitrate. On an average the investigated quantities lie much below the present tolerance limit in Cuba (125 mg/kg nitrite and 500 mg/kg nitrate). The authors recommend to lower the tolerance limit for nitrate in meat and sausages to 300 mg/kg.
