Kati Decker Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hey all! So I started my Whole30 today (woohoo!). I normally eat Paleo, with the exception of MASSIVE sugar cravings. So I'm thrilled to have started this. I'm looking for bacon that's made w/o sugar. Everywhere I look, there's sugar, evaporated cane syrup, brown sugar, etc added to the bacon. Are there any others out there without the added sugar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Angel0 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I get mine from US Wellness online. I've heard that compliant bacon can be found at Trader Joe's but every brand mine carries has sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aluna Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Pederson's Farms has the only uncured no-sugar paleo approved bacon as far as I know. I'm stalking my local Whole Foods shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deborah Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I get mine from US Wellness online. I've heard that compliant bacon can be found at Trader Joe's but every brand mine carries has sugar. Ditto this. (Actually, my first order just came today--yay!)

AmyS Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 My local grocery store sells some without sugar - it's marketed as "Lower Sodium" but it also has no sugar. It's not grassfed or pastured, but it is sugar-free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PegD Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Wellshire Farms sells Paleo friendly bacon without sugar. It actually says Paleo friendly on the package. I get it at Whole Foods here in MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Costco in San Diego has Kirkland Low-Sodium which is sugar-free. Not sure if that's the same at all Costcos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Whole_New_Me Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I've tried the US Wellness bacon before & found it lacking in any flavor. I like buying the cooked pork belly from Trader Joe's & slicing it up like thick-cut bacon. It actually tastes better than "normal" bacon to me, and the only ingredients are pork belly & salt.

MamaCimino Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Costco in San Diego has Kirkland Low-Sodium which is sugar-free. Not sure if that's the same at all Costcos. We have some of that in our freezer so I went and checked. Yes, no sugar but it has nitrates in it... too bad, I'm starting my second Whole 30 in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted December 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2014 We have some of that in our freezer so I went and checked. Yes, no sugar but it has nitrates in it... too bad, I'm starting my second Whole 30 in January Nitrates are not actually out on a Whole30, although you're certainly welcome to decide not to have them if that's your preference. Here's an example of a thread where this was discussed before (you can google Whole30 nitrates for more such discussions), and here's the Whole30 Bacon Manifesto for more on the official Whole30 stance on bacon.

MamaCimino Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Oh, I totally thought they were... Good for me then, I think we have three packages left! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosieJake Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 If you have autoimmunie issues, you want to stay away from nitrates. They and sulfites make my hands hurt. Whole Foods sells sugar-free and nitrate-free bacon. Safety too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy622 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 My local grocery store had a low sodium store brand with no sugar. I thought I checked all the packages there when I did my last whole30 so it was a pleasant surprise. I don't eat it often, but it's nice to know I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kehleemarie Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Whole Foods has one brand that is compliant! I forget the name of it, but ask a worker there for the sugar free bacon and they are very knowledgable and can help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Anyone who lives in a sugar-free-bacon wasteland (like I do!), you may have better luck with prosciutto or porchetta (often just pork and salt). They're not the same as bacon, but pretty good subs in most recipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
