Piranha1981 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hi On my first whole30 (day 6) and just found bacon in Waitrose (am in UK) with the following ingredients: Pork loin (97%), salt, preservatives potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite, antioxidant sodium ascorbate Is this compliant? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 1, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2015 This bacon is acceptable, but not great. And remember, we recommend using bacon as a condiment and not a protein during a Whole30. See also: http://whole9life.com/2012/03/bacon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha1981 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks, I will keep looking though. The bacon isn't for every day, just thought it might be nice to have occasionally and Waitrose tends to stock high welfare meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannlib Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I haven't found any bacon with better ingredients than that. Morrison's, tesco, lidl are all the same. You can find sugar free but it contains compliant nasties (usually the nitrates). And at the butchers and farm shops they can't tell me if there's added sugar or not. To be clear, the waitrose bacon is compliant. You can eat it on your whole 30. It isn't ideal, and yes therefore better as occasional food. But it is compliant.

Actually US Wellness Meats has Whole30 approved sugar free bacon with zero nasties. http://grasslandbeef.com/sugar-free-pork-bacon-slices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And good to 'see' a familiar face here too!! Mind you, i think i may start again anyway as i ended up taking cough medicine with who knows what in it last night, it certainly wasn't compliant but I was fairly desperate for sleep by 2am!! Chicken brothing away today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineD Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi, I'm in the U.K. and have found nitrate free bacon in Wholefoods without sugar but they don't have it regularly, or a company called Devon Rose (online only I think) do compliant bacon too. There is a Nigel Wagstaff nitrate free bacon but it contains stabilisers (diphosphates, triphosphates and sodium ascorbate, is this compliant?
