Health notes
Pepperoni, like other processed meats, is regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for safety and labeling. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization (WHO), has classified processed meat as 'carcinogenic to humans' (Group 1), based on sufficient evidence that consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer. This classification refers to the general category of processed meats and not specifically to garlic pepperoni. JECFA has not evaluated pepperoni as a food additive.
