Around 13% of bowel cancer cases in the UK are linked to eating too much red and processed meat such as bacon, salami, sausages, canned meat or chicken nuggets, because they contain chemicals called nitrosamines.

The government recommends that people eating more than 90 g of red meat a day should reduce it to 70 g or less.
