Health notes

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates bacon as a meat product. Consuming processed meats like bacon has been linked to increased health risks in some studies, particularly concerning heart disease and certain cancers. However, evidence is mixed, and moderate consumption is generally considered acceptable within a balanced diet. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated the safety of nitrates and nitrites, which are often used in curing, and have established guidelines for their use.

Allergen info

Bacon is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
