There are plenty of alternatives that are less processed and still practical for everyday meals.

To save you a google, group 1 carcinogens means there is sufficient evidence that they increase chance of cancer in humans.

I knew they weren't great so I always opted for the low-sodium option when buying them but a bit surprised by this. Red meat which I know is supposedly bad for you is apparently a Group 2a carcinogen which "probably causes cancer".

Upon doing more research, other items in the group 1 carcinogens -

• All processed meat, such as bacon
• Alcoholic drinks
• Contraceptives and menopause therapies containing estrogen
• Mineral Oil
• Salted fish
• The sun

So it's not too bad, but I'll still eat it in moderation.

There goes my subway italian cold cuts.
