Abstract
Samples of filter paper were found which contain sufficient nitrite to cause significant error in determining the nitrite content of cured meat products by the official AOAC method. Six of 28 boxes of filter paper examined were contaminated with nitrite. All 6 contaminated boxes were the same brand and grade. These samples of filter paper could contribute from 4.6 to 18.4 ppm nitrite to the amount of nitrite analyzed for in meat.Keywords
