What it is

Canadian style bacon is a cured pork product made from the loin of a pig. It is typically trimmed of fat, cured with salt and other seasonings, and then smoked. Unlike American-style bacon, which comes from the pork belly, Canadian bacon is leaner and has a ham-like texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Canadian bacon as a protein source and for its savory, smoky flavor. It is a popular topping for pizzas and is also found in breakfast dishes, sandwiches, and frozen appetizers. Its firm texture holds up well during cooking.

Health notes

Canadian bacon is a processed meat product. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meats as Group 1 carcinogens, meaning there is sufficient evidence that they cause cancer in humans, particularly colorectal cancer. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not set specific limits for processed meats but advise moderation as part of a balanced diet. Consumers concerned about sodium and nitrates/nitrites, often used in curing, may choose to limit intake.

Allergen info

Canadian bacon is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
