The US Department of Agriculture issued a Class I recall for more than 12,000 pounds of Canadian-imported Royale Natural Applewood Smoked uncured bacon and Top Valu uncured hardwood smoked bacon from Maple Leaf Foods after regulators found the products never underwent import reinspection into the United States.

Bacon Cooked Right: Why Cast Iron Falls Short and What to Use Instead

For small batches, use heavy stainless or nonstick pans for better control; for larger quantities, the oven on sheet pans provides even cooking, minimal splatter, and repeatable results without babysitting the pan.

The truth about uncured bacon's health benefits.

The truth about uncured bacon's health benefits.

The labels "cured" and "uncured" on bacon and other processed meats can be misleading. Both cured and uncured bacon are preserved, and the use of these labels is a result of labeling regulations. "Uncured" bacon may still contain similar amounts of nitrites and nitrates as "cured" bacon. Nitrites and nitrates, whether synthetic or from natural sources, can form nitrosamines in the body, which may increase the risk of certain cancers. Processed meat intake has also been linked to an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. While vegetables like celery contain nitrates and nitrites, their conversion to nitrosamines is less likely due to the low protein content. It is recommended to consume processed meats in moderation.
