Method Can you tell me if sodium nitrate is lethal?

[miau_chiu]

Is sodium nitrate lethal? Or is it sodium nitrite?

I know the latter one is lethal but I cannot get that in my country. I can get the first one.
I appreciate any answers!

Sodium nitrate is Sodium nitrite + O2. Thermal decomposition (heat as reactant) of Sodium nitrate produce Sodium nitrite + release O2.

Just as Sodium nitrite exposed to O2 becomes Sodium nitrate.

It's an EU-wide regulation. While a company in the food industry can get it in industrial quantities, regular guys can only access stuff like BBQ salt that contains up to 0,6% NaNO2 ​(if I remember well, but it's not the exact value that really matters). At a point I even thought of bringing up some phoney website where my company would sell BBQ salts pre-mixed with the legal amount of SN so that I can buy pure SN as a company in the food industry but decided for something less complicated. (Látod, az a fránya EU mégis csak a magyarok ellensége, nem vehetsz csak úgy nátrium-nitritet)
