ABSTRACT:

Background

Standardized methods are needed to investigate intake patterns of processed meat subtypes, considering health concerns surrounding processed meat intake.

Objectives

The objectives of this study were to create a standardized method of disaggregating processed meat into processed red meat and processed poultry and describe intake patterns of the US population aged ≥2 y.
