Well, processed meat is a known carcinogen https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/general-info/kno...

Doubt these processed plant based foods are very health promoting, but we at least don’t know for a fact that they’re carcinogenic.

>processed meat

I'm pretty sure what they're getting at here is something like a salami or cured bacon. Not simply ground beef.

Yup, I did a literature review of this 5+ years ago, and that is normally how the term is defined in the literature.

I suspect that frozen burgers may be included in this (depending on ingredients), but ground mince converted into burger patties definitely isn't.
