I'm not even sure if bacon and sausage are considered paleo. I was wondering if there is a brand of bacon and sausage which doesn't contain sodium nitrate. I've called all of the health foods stores in our area and can't find any. I did find turkey bacon which doesn't contain any, but it's 99% fat-free and I'm looking to add fat to my diet, believe it or not. Explanation to follow. Thanks! : ) - Julie
