A detailed review of a recent meta-analysis suggests that the evidence linking processed meat to health risks like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease is weak and inconsistent, partly due to the broad definition of processed meats and challenges in dietary research. While high consumption of processed meat is generally associated with poorer health, the study does not definitively prove causation, and individual processed meats vary significantly in their health impact. Moderation is advised, but occasional consumption of processed meats like salami may not be harmful.

A study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention suggests that genetics may influence the risk of colorectal cancer from consuming red and processed meats. Researchers identified two genetic markers that may increase the risk for some individuals. The study analyzed data from nearly 30,000 people with colorectal cancer and found that certain genetic variants could elevate the risk of cancer when consuming high levels of red and processed meats. The findings provide insight into potential mechanisms behind the development of colorectal cancer and may lead to further experimental studies.
