Nitrate and nitrite in food
Determination of nitrate and nitrite content of food with a spectrophotometric method.
Nitrates and nitrites can be present in food either naturally or as added ingredients. Commission Regulation (EU) No 2023/915 sets maximum levels for nitrates in many edible plants, such as spinach, arugula, and iceberg lettuce.
Furthermore, Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 sets maximum levels for nitrates and nitrites that have been added to various food products where use is authorized.
