No, that was the cold cuts. Nitrates, nitrites and other nitrogen-based oxygen
compounds used as food preservatives were widely banned by 12070, but it took
a few generations of holdouts (such as the Opoptians out on the eastern arm) a
few years to change their eating habits.
As they were technologically and infamously difficult to reproduce even on a
small scale, nanowave weapons were embraced by the DOP, who had all the
funding to build them, and as a result terrorists didn't stand a chance.
