I Googled " what does a Paleo diet consist of? " I reviewed a random selection and all included Bacon and Ham as an option but suggest that it be cured with Sea or Mined Salt, and a Veg based Nitrate/Nitrite and No Sugar. There is no rule that says Bacon must have Sugar, so skip it. I suggest buying the Celery Powder from Sausage Maker and following their directions for use. Using Salt at 2% is not so strong that it has to be balanced with sugar...JJ
" Uncured " is the only official FDA/USDA designation for Bacon, Ham, Dogs, Etc, that are cured with a Celery derivative to provide the cure instead of added Nitrate/Nitrites. The term " Uncured Bacon " is the description that can describe the bacon other than smoke flavor, Hickory Smoked, or flavor like Maple Bacon.
" Naturally Cured " actually Natural anything, while often used as a Marketing and Advertising Keywords that make you Think it is better for you, are under review. These terms are currently
allowed by the FDA with the following conditions but not acceptable as an official name on products...
The FDA has considered the term “natural” to mean that nothing artificial or synthetic (including all color additives regardless of source) has been included in, or has been added to, a food that would not normally be expected to be in that food.
