Nitrosamines have been found in spice‐curing salt premixes which were used in meat products. A number of premixes were analysed using gas chromatography and high resolution mass spectrometry and the presence of N ‐nitrosopiperidine was confirmed in the majority of the premixes. After storage for 6 months levels of N ‐nitrosopiperidine had increased in most instances, and N ‐nitrosopyrrolidine was detected in several samples.
