Whereas the quantity of manufactured nitrates are regulated by the USDA, celery powder is not, and yet they pose the same risks and problems when broken down by the body.
Processed meats such as sausage, bologna and the ubiquitous "meat sticks" that are branded as healthier alternatives will use celery powder as a substitute and may even be labeled as "uncured."
TL; dr: processed meat is still unhealthy.
