Cancer warning: Cured bacon might be BANNED in the UK over tumour health risk

The letter continued: “Given advances in food manufacturing mean we can get the familiar colour and flavour of our bacon without nitrites, there is simply no good reason not to do this.”

Some British meat producers already make nitrite-free bacon, including M&S, Waitrose and Better Naked.

The National Pig Association stated: “Processors have already made significant historical progress.

“And this year alone some processors have reduced their ingoing nitrites by up to 60 percent.”
