Tag: Dry cured salami

The World Health Organization has classified processed meats, including salami, as a Group 1 carcinogen. This classification leads many to question: is dry cured salami healthy, or is it a food to be avoided entirely?

The number of salami pieces in a single ounce can vary widely, with commercial brands reporting anywhere from 4 to 6 slices per ounce depending on the product and cut. A precise count depends entirely on factors like the type of salami, the thickness of the slices, and whether it is hard or soft.
