The ham and bacon in my frig don't.....however, they also have a pretty GRAY color We ordered our piggy from Good Earth Farms and got to tell the processor exactly what we wanted. YUMMY

in the "bacon section" of my local Stop&Shop, I found only one truly acceptable brand of more than 2 dozen varieties. There are several that are technically Atkins-safe ( no sugar.carbs ) but I am also interested in staying away from nitrates ( usually listed as sodium nitrate on the ingredients ), te good Dr. reccomended this, and I believe the common consensus among docs is that nitrates do have deleterious effects, but not necessary to avoid for atkins success.

so anyways, to make a long story short, look for "uncured bacon"
this is usually your best bet, but you'll have to find it in a large grocer, also, it is HIGHLY perishable
