According to Wikipedia, in the process of food preservation, potassium nitrate is a common ingredient of salted meat, but there are theories indicating that using nitrates in meats can cause cancer. As a preservative it can be known as E252.
I am unsure about potassium nitrate, but sodium nitrate has been marked as something we should avoid, but it actually has beneficial properties despite what some "studies" say, it in moderate does is nothing to fear, but instead may be beneficial. Potassium nitrate is still a mystery to me though, i plan to look into though eventually.

The atomic nucleus of potassium has 19 protons and a number of neutrons specific for each isotope (from 13 n to 36 n).
Potassium could be a renewable resource it is found in broccoli, peas, tomatoes, potatoes, ranges and other citrus fruits, bananas, apples, avocados, aisins,whole grains, nuts and fish like salmon and snapper.
99.988% of potassium found in nature is not radioactive. 0.012% of natural potassium is 40K, which is radioactive and has a half life of about 1,248,000,000 years. Like all other elements, synthetic radioactive isotopes of potassium exist.
It is a distinction most commonly made in golf. Natural hazards are for instance water, and sand bunkers. Although usually made by man, they are considered to be part of the 'natural' environment. Wooden benches, sprinkler holes etc. are not considered 'natural' and therefore man-made.

Potassium hydroxide is not a natural product.
Although there are many similar reliable sites, below are two pages, which more or less suggests that it is not. But it is still under research if it is possibly a mutagen (causes cancer) or not. Potassium sorbate has been used as a food preservative for a long time, and has a good reputation since it is a potassium salt form of a natural organic compound (sorbic acid).
