Great tasting bacon cured with salt and flavoured with organic fruits and vegetable extracts; lemons and the fruit of the Mediterranean carob tree. Sliced thinly to allow it to crisp up perfectly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur bacon is made from free range, outdoor bred pigs raised to the highest welfare standards - going above and beyond the usual organic standards. We do not routinely use any antibiotics and NEVER use critically endangered ones. The pigs are fed on a GM free diet and their food is supplemented with fresh waste fruit and vegetables from Abel and Cole adding colour and variety to their day. All our pigs are free to roam and root as pigs love to do. They live in warm pig arks with plenty of straw bedding and we even dig wallows for them to cool off in when the weather gets hot. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe use UK organic pork where ever we can. However the demand for streaky bacon in the UK is currently outstripping the supply of organic pork bellies to make it. We therefore top up our supply with organic pork bellies from the EU. These are certified to the Soil Association EU regulations. Once the UK supply chain catches up we will revert to UK only. Until this time we are UK first, topped up to keep supply going with product from the EU. This also helps give UK farmers the confidence to invest in more production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you like our smoked back bacon, make sure you try our smoked streaky bacon too or our sausages or pulled pork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"M\u0026S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47630646444270,"sku":"STO-ITEM-2026-18097","price":12.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/0125\/9183\/files\/1280x1280_62323c71-2c85-42f6-99cb-21850c28d09d.jpg?v=1770110859","url":"https:\/\/mcgrocer.com\/products\/helen-brownings-organic-smoked-back-bacon-without-nitrates","provider":"McGrocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
