Is red meat bad for health? Meta-study of 44 studies finds results depend on the sponsor. If the sponsor is impartial, studies find it's bad. Studies sponsored by the meat industry find the opposite (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

Except that salami is typically made of pork, which isn't a red meat. Most cured meats and sausages are pork based.

Nutritionally speaking pork is a red meat. All mammal meat is red meat, non mammal meat is not.
