The content of cancerogenous N-nitrosamines (NA) was examined in food marketed in the regions with the increased gastric carcinoma incidence. The food was analyzed by means of the fluorescent technique. Some of food products, such as lard, corned beef, dried mushrooms were found to be contaminated with volatile NA, while vegetable and milk products contained negligible amounts of NA or did not contain them at all.
