Only "deli" meats I will eat are PDO Prosciutto di Parma imported from Italy and less frequently PDO acorn-fed Jamón ibérico imported from Spain.

Pretty much everything else sold at US supermarkets is filled with nitrites, even when packaging insists that's not the case it's usually celery powder sleight of hand, and generally horrible for one's health.
