What will happen if I eat NaNO3?

Answer 1

As with any chemical, it depends on the amount ingested.

Small doses will have little effect, very large doses will be toxic and might kill you.

Answer 2

Consuming sodium nitrate (NaNO3) in small amounts, like that found in processed foods, is generally considered safe. However, ingesting large amounts can be toxic and may lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It's best to avoid consuming NaNO3 in its pure form.
