In W. Washington USA, the PCC chain carries the Hempler's (out of
Bellingham, WA) brand of uncured bacon. The local Thriftway super
also carries Hempler's bacon, but not the uncured (despite my
asking the meat buyer on three occasions). I once bought a package
of the nitrate-cured by mistake, realizing only when I chewed on the
horrible salty, chemical-tasking bacon that I'd better read the
label again.
