Health notes
As a processed meat, bacon is regulated by the USDA and FDA as a food product, not a food additive. It is typically high in sodium and saturated fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat to less than 10% of daily calories, and the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies processed meat as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), meaning there is sufficient evidence that consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer.
