• “Middle bacon” or “middle rashers” is cut from the middle of the pork loin, so it has a mix of meat and fat. It’s less fatty than streaky bacon, but fattier (thus more flavourful) than lean back bacon. • Ingredients include pork (about 86% in the 1 kg pack), water, cure (salt, sugar, mineral salts), antioxidant, preservative.  • No artificial colours or flavours.  • Nutrition (per 100 g):   • Energy ~1,030 kJ    • Protein ~15.1 g    • Total fat ~20.4 g; saturated ~8.2 g    • Very low carbs/sugars (<1 g)    • High in sodium: ~1,000 mg per 100 g.  Pros Cons Good balance of flavour & fat High in sodium & saturated fat Decent protein content Can be oily, especially if overcooked No artificial colours/flavours Vacuum pack makes separating slices fiddly Versatile (breakfast-, sandwich-, cooking bacon) Price fluctuates; sometimes not great value unless on special
