You’re SO excited that you can have BACON, right? But where can you find Whole30 bacon? And what even makes it Whole30 compliant bacon, and what makes bacon off limits? I’ll share all the details below! And please know this is in no way an extensive list! Please, if you find a Whole30 Compliant Bacon, comment, and I will add it to the list! 🙂

Firstly, let’s reign in our love of bacon for a second… When is it appropriate to have bacon, and how much?

Whole30 weighs in:

First, bacon must be pastured and responsibly raised – factory-farmed bacon is extraordinarily unhealthy and unethically produced, and no one should eat it, ever. Two, context matters, and using bacon as your primary protein source isn’t a great idea in general. Three, bacon may prove all too easy to overconsume, and overconsumption (even with a “technically Paleo” food) is never healthy – so think before you eat. So, we don’t want to encourage you to eat more bacon… but we do want you to have access to responsibly produced pastured bacon without any unhealthy additives, because it’s not our place to dictate what you can and can’t eat. We provide recommendations and guidance, because that’s our job, but ultimately you’re all big boys and girls, and are more than qualified to make your own food choices. (read more)

Whole30 Compliant Bacon

Whole30 bacon can’t have sugar in it, which is usually pretty crucial to the curing process. It also can’t have any nitrates or MSG, along with a long list of other unapproved additives.
