Health notes

Fully cooked smoked bacon is a processed meat. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified processed meats as Group 1 carcinogens, meaning there is sufficient evidence that they cause cancer in humans, particularly colorectal cancer. Consumption of processed meats is linked to increased risk of certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Regulatory bodies like the FDA monitor food safety, but do not set specific intake limits for bacon itself.
