Sodium nitrite (INS 250)
5+ suppliersCuring agent for ham, bacon, sausages and other processed meat that blocks Clostridium botulinum and fixes the pink cured colour. FSSAI allows it only in listed meat categories at low limits (80 mg/kg in many processed meat categories) and never in infant food; it is toxic in excess, so food grade is sold mainly to meat processors or pre-diluted as curing salt.
