What it is

This is pork that has been treated with salt and other curing agents, such as sodium nitrite or sugar, and often contains added water. The curing process helps to preserve the meat, enhance its flavor, and give it a characteristic pinkish color.

Why it's used

Curing ingredients are added to pork to extend shelf life and develop a distinct savory, salty taste. They are commonly found in products like bacon, ham, and other processed pork items.

Health notes

The FDA regulates the use of curing agents in meat products. Some studies have explored potential links between the consumption of processed meats, which often contain curing agents like nitrites, and certain health outcomes. However, the evidence is complex and ongoing. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various curing agents, and their safety is subject to regulatory review.

Allergen info

Pork itself is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless added during processing.
