Health notes
Meat is regulated by the FDA and USDA as a food product, not an additive. It is a good source of protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies processed meat as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1) and red meat as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A). JECFA and EFSA evaluate food additives, not whole food ingredients like meat, so they have not set an acceptable daily intake for meat itself.
