  >processed meat I'm pretty sure what they're getting at here is something like a salami or cured bacon. Not simply ground beef.

    Yup, I did a literature review of this 5+ years ago, and that is normally how the term is defined in the literature. I suspect that frozen burgers may be included in this (depending on ingredients), but ground mince converted into burger patties definitely isn't.
