What it is

Canadian bacon is a cut of pork from the loin, similar to traditional bacon but leaner. It is typically cured with salt and sometimes sugar, then smoked. Unlike American-style bacon, it is usually sold as a boneless, round cut.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Canadian bacon as a lean protein source and for its savory, smoky flavor. It is commonly found in breakfast dishes like omelets and breakfast sandwiches, as well as on pizzas and in some sandwiches.

Health notes

Canadian bacon is a processed meat product. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not specifically evaluated Canadian bacon as a food additive. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies processed meats as Group 1 carcinogens, meaning there is sufficient evidence that they cause cancer in humans, particularly colorectal cancer. However, this classification applies to processed meats generally, and the risk is considered to increase with higher consumption levels.

Allergen info

Canadian bacon is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
