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.

Just checked and you are right. I'm so used to hearing "Pork, the other white meat" that I mis-understood.

Yeah it was very clever marketing on their part. Don't blame you.
