Raw bacon doesn’t have spices.
Comment on Apart, low in cholesterine
Photuris@lemmy.ml 1 week agoIt sounds ridiculous, but you’d be surprised how often wheat makes its way into ingredients such as “spices” (like tamari, for example), often unlabeled as such.
If you have celiac disease, you figure this stuff out over time. I’m glad to see bacon labeled as “gluten free” - it means I can trust it. Packaged bacon might have seasonings or glaze applied to it.

Again, been burned before. Adding “gluten free” isn’t as stupid as it sounds.
Been burned by the adhesive on paper straws. Been burned by instant coffee (flavorings, apparently). Been burned by “plain” hashed brown potatoes (spoiler alert - they weren’t so plain, because of cross-contamination in the packaging facility - they didn’t clean their conveyor belts between product runs. That took some legwork to figure out). Been burned by fucking apple sauce (malt; and also, why?!).
Imagine living in a world wherein all food products might have at least a little bit of rat poison in it. You’d start really appreciating anything intentionally labeled “rat poison free,” even if it’s something that “shouldn’t” need it (like “plain” bacon).

Right. Imagine. Wild.

‘plain raw bacon’ is almost always not actually raw.

At that point idk how you could actually eat anything from a grocery store since everything there is likely processed in a facility that handles wheat. In fact, i would say meat products and farm to table produce are probably the only items at a grocery store that haven’t come into contact with some sort of allergen.
