Regulatory bodies like the WHO/IARC have evaluated processed meats, noting associations with certain health risks, but these findings relate to overall dietary patterns rather than this specific ingredient in isolation. Evidence on the health impacts of consuming typical amounts of cooked pork and chicken is generally considered mixed, with ongoing research.
