Actual title: The truth about nitro-meats: my seven-year search for better bacon
Summary: In response to nitrates added to meat being a known carcinogen for some time, specific (named) manufacturers in the UK are making bacon without nitrates.
It’s very promotional and from the Food section.
> In the US, there has been a clampdown on bacon marketed as “uncured”, which has been spiked with celery or other vegetable extracts instead of the E numbers. It may sound healthy, but it’s not. Like many vegetables, celery is a source of nitrate, and a concentrated extract can indeed stand in nicely for the usual additives. But the end product still contains harmful levels of nitrates, and can now no longer be labelled as “uncured”, or “no nitrate or nitrite added”.
> Prosur’s secret ingredient isn’t the only nitrate-free colour enhancer on the market.
