Producers blithely modify the most popular processed pork products to fulfill certain appearance criteria. For example ham, which we believe is pink, has been loaded with highly cancerogenic nitro compounds to make it appetizing.
Cochonneries recounts the secret story of this branch of the food processing industry which has been corrupted by the despicable appetites of a few global industrial giants who, today, continue to block any attempt to provide processed pork meat uncontaminated by poison.
The result of a five-year long investigation, this book exposes the secret, scandalous history of modern processed meat treated with sodium nitrate.
Guillaume Coudray is an author and documentary filmmaker who has been interested in the problem of processed meats/health for over 15 years.
