What it is

Bacon is a type of cured pork, typically made from the belly of a pig. The term "Cured With Water" indicates that a brine solution, often containing salt, sugar, and curing agents like nitrites, was used to preserve and flavor the meat.

Why it's used

Bacon is widely used in many dishes for its distinct savory flavor and crispy texture. It is a popular ingredient in breakfast meals, sandwiches, salads, and as a topping for various foods like pizza and baked potatoes.

Health notes

Bacon is classified as a processed meat. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies processed meat as "carcinogenic to humans" (Group 1), based on sufficient evidence that its consumption causes colorectal cancer. Bacon is typically high in sodium and saturated fat. The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories.
