The Meat Lobby_ Inside the Abyss of an Industry

This documentary investigates the meat industry’s use of sodium nitrite in processed meats, exposing its links to colorectal cancer and revealing lobbying efforts to block regulations. It features interviews with toxicologist Professor Theo de Koeck from Maastricht University, who demonstrates DNA damage caused by nitrosamines, and visits to factories like Fleury Michon and Denmark’s Hannigal, which produces nitrite-free meats. The film also confronts EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Vytenis Andriukaitis about regulatory inaction despite decades of scientific warnings. Through undercover footage, lab experiments, and expert testimony, it uncovers a global strategy of influence involving scientists, policymakers, and corporations.
