nitrate free bacon
Hi, I am a new comer to low carb, I am doing Atkins, so far so good, I cannot seem to figure out where to find nitrate free bacon. I have been reading labels and would appreciate any brands that you have found that were good! Thanks!

Nitrate and nitrite free bacon IS a hard find. So it sugar free. I have seen it though, at higher end grocery and health food stores.
Generally, most of us here don't worry about it too much. Nitrates and nitrites are only REALLY bad for you in large amounts. They are, of course, not great for you, but aren't usually a big health or weight loss issue. If you can't find the healthy bacon, regular old bacon is fine to eat in moderation. :) |
I am actaully going to scope this one out myself. I am planning a trip to our local Wild Oats grocery store to check out their bacon supply. I'll let you know any brands that I find, if I find any!

Do you have a Trader Joe's by you? They have nitrate free bacon.

Hi - I haven't been able to find nitrate free bacon either. But I did notice that the low-sodium bacon sometimes has no sugar, which all the regular brands seem to have.
Not sure where you're located, but here in Vancouver the Safeway Brand low sodium bacon is one in particular with no sugar. I haven't noticed much difference between the low-sodium and regular bacon, taste wise. It does seem to cook faster. K. |
Just returned from Wild Oats. They had several brands of Nitrate Free bacon, but most of them contained either suger or cane syrup as their second ingredients. I think I'll stay away for a while. :mad:

Hi All
Shopsy's has a Deli-Trim bacon with no sugar added. I buy it at Loblaw's here in Ontario, Canada. Lolli |
Hi Everyone:
Just wanted to put my 2 cents in. I buy a brand called Gwaltneys which is sugar free. It does have nitrates tho. I buy mine at Walmart and we all know where they are. Rose:rose: |
If you're in Vancouver, Canada...
Vancouverites: Capers Market has nitrate-free bacon. Haven't tried it myself, but the Robson Street location definately has it. I'm thinking Urban Fare might have it too, but I don't venture there often enough!
