'Plain raw bacon' is the kind that doesn't have spices.
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.
Edit: I joke. American food safety standards are better than that. Not impressively better. But technically better.
'plain raw bacon' is almost always not actually raw.
