[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2432487, member: 506169"] I think you will find that you are mistaken about the nitrites. They have just avoided using the word as an additive. They do use nitrites, but use them from celery which naturally has a high concentration of nitrites. This is rather like saying 'no added sugar' and then listing HFCC or Guava juice or Honey etc. Personally I don't object to them being cheeky like that. But it made me think id nitrites in processed meat are so bad for us why is celery not given a cancer warning? So I ultimately decided that since my bacon consumption is low, I wouldn't pay the extra in order to have nitrites from a disguised source rather than up-front. [/QUOTE]
