Canadian Style Bacon: Cured With: Water

Canadian style bacon is a cut of pork that is cured, similar to traditional bacon but typically leaner and with less fat. It is made from the loin of the pig, which is then brined or cured with salt and other seasonings.

Manufacturers add Canadian style bacon to foods for its savory flavor and protein content. It is commonly used in breakfast dishes, sandwiches, pizzas, and as a topping for salads.

Canadian style bacon is a source of protein and essential nutrients. Like other cured meats, it is high in sodium, and the U.S. FDA recommends limiting sodium intake. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat to less than 10% of daily calories. Some organizations recommend limiting processed meats due to links with health concerns, though the evidence is mixed.
