    Nitrite itself is not carcinogenic, and it is only carcinogenic when combined with a large amount of protein metabolism intermediate amine to form nitrosamines. After eating cooked vegetables that have been stored for a period of time, if you do not consume excessive amounts of fish, poultry, meat, and eggs, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables that can hinder the synthesis of nitrosamines, there will be no risk.
