Bacon - Sulfites etc... Whats the big deal?

Hey guy,

New here so go easy on me:D... started my first while 30 yesterday and bought a load of bacon from my local supermarket without realising there are added ingredients...

Now my question is, what is so bad about the Sulfites etc they add to supermarket Bacon, is it going to greatly affect my whole 30? What's wrong with them and why don't we want to eat them?

Do I need to bin this and go to my local butcher? I'm a sucker for not wasting food so I don't want to do this ideally but how much damage am I doing to my 30 days by eating this before I go and get more?

Thanks in advance!

Hey @Chek

Sulphites are one of the top allergens in the Western World so, yes, they could greatly effect your Whole30. In my experience it's much easier to find sulphite & sugar free bacon directly from a butcher, but depending on where you are there are compliant packs out there. And you could always freeze what you've bought and eat it AFTER your Whole30/reintroductions so as not to waste it.

You might find it helpful to have a read at The Bacon Manifesto for more info.

Hope this helps :)
