[A pale yellow, crystalline solid nitrosamine that decomposes when exposed to light and emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition. N-Nitrososarcosine is used in laboratory research to induce tumors in experimental animals. This substance may be formed during the cooking of foods that contain sodium nitrite as a preservative, including meat, fish and cheese. Exposure to N-Nitrososarcosine irritates the skin and eyes.
