Sorry to burst your bubble but "uncured" bacon is a sham

They add celery powder instead of nitrates, so they can claim "nitrate free". However, the celery powder just decomposes into nitrates, achieving the same effect

That's not true-- you can buy uncured bacon. It's simply "uncut pork belly" which many companies turn into bacon.

We buy our pork belly direct from a farm and it hasn't been touched with anything.

Oh yeah that of course exists, didn't mean to imply it didn't.

Just the "uncured" but still processed bacon that is pretty much just regular bacon

“No added nitrates” usually means celery extract. (Ie nitrates)

Uncut pork belly isn’t bacon. Both are delicious, but definitely not the same thing.
