How does Voodoo Bacon contain no added nitrates or chemical preservatives?

Voodoo Bacon uses a dry-cure process, whereby the salt draws out the moisture from the pork, and combined with sugar, acts as a preservative.

Most Australian Bacon uses a “wet-cure” process, whereby the pork is injected with, and soaked in a brine, which contains artificial nitrates used to preserve the bacon. 

Usually “nitrate free” bacons still use nitrate, though this is derived usually from either celery or beetroot; Voodoo Bacon adds NO nitrates.

What varieties does Voodoo Bacon come in?

We produce free range streaky and shortcut bacon, with more varieties to come!

Why is Voodoo Bacon not as pink as some bacons in the supermarket?

Most supermarket bacons are pumped with a solution which contains nitrates, nitrites and phosphates. The nitrates make the bacon a brighter pink, and also slow the loss of the pink colour when exposed to air. Voodoo Bacon proudly uses no added nitrates, and so will not be as pink as some bacons. The result is an amazing and intensely flavoured bacon, which is guilt free in terms of containing no added nitrates!

How long after the packet has been opened should I eat the bacon?

We suggest to be safe to consume within 5 days of opening the packet.
