Is bacon safe to eat?

Carla0831 · December 2013

Silly question but, I've been craving bacon, which I don't normally eat but since I've been pregnant it seems to be all I want! Is it safe to eat?

I've read mixed feelings on it and wasn't sure.

Really? Of course it is fine. Just don't drink tap water, eat dairy products or roasted turkey sandwiches.

Please don't! Think of your baby. I ate bacon while I was pregnant with my first, and when he was born all he would drink was this.

That ish is expensive.

Please tell this is a thing. I kinda want to register for it as a gag gift... Or buy it and put it on my mantle and see if I get side eyed

Seriously. Explore the boards a little bit, read a few more threads. There have been tons of them lately on whether x, y, z foods are safe or not. People are just poking a little bit of fun at how ridiculous it gets sometimes.

Just eat your bacon and drink your tap water. You'll be fine.

My RE said no to bacon because of the nitrates. Although I think a small amount wouldn't hurt. Just don't eat it every day.

As long as you're not shoving a pack of nitrite filled bacon and washing it down with another pack of nitrite filled hot dogs everyday, you'll be fine eating the normal nitrite laden bacon. Although the nitrite free stuff does taste a lot better, but our grocery stopped carrying the Oscar Meyer selects bacon, which was one of the best, IMHO.
