Pretty sure yer potassium nitrate in bacon is there to inhibit botulism as much as it’s there to keep it pink. I don’t mind making my own bacon with just salt and sugar, but I don’t think the supermarkets will risk it?
There’s a brand doing pork products without all the sulphites. Naked pork I think.
And prosciutto hasn’t got sulphites - so it’s entirely possible for most pork to be with them.
It’s just a cheaper way of producing the food
People inject botulism into their foreheads; they'll cope with some in their bacon.
