What it is
Pepperoni is a type of salami, a cured sausage made from pork and beef, or pork and chicken. The meat is seasoned with paprika or other chili pepper, salt, and other spices. It is then fermented and air-dried.
Why it's used
Pepperoni is most commonly used as a pizza topping due to its spicy flavor and ability to crisp up when cooked. It is also used in sandwiches, pasta dishes, and as a snack.
Health notes
Pepperoni is a processed meat. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified processed meats as Group 1 carcinogens, meaning there is sufficient evidence that they cause cancer in humans, particularly colorectal cancer. The FDA regulates processed meats to ensure safety. Consuming processed meats in moderation is recommended by dietary guidelines.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Gluten is not typically present unless added during processing.
