Anyone know where in Melb you can get meat (eg. bacon, ham) that is nitrate-free? I've looked in many, many stores and can't find a single one!

I would like the answer to this question too, but for brisbane.

Hi Dawn,

When I first started I tried many a butcher here looking for nitrate free bacon, as Dr A suggests it is better. But after a while, and doing a little reading, I just gave up. Now I only eat bacon & ham occasionally and I don't worry about the nitrates.
And I have never stalled due to eating bacon or ham.

Sorry not to be more helpful.

Thanks, that was a help as you will have saved me a lot of running around.
So what brand of bacon do you eat that doesnt have sugar?
BTW...which part of brissy are you in. I'm southside.

Yeah that's what I've ended up doing. I called up Coles and they don't add sugar to their own brand of bacon so I guess that's good.

There might to an organic shop out there that doesn't put nitrates in their meats but I'm yet to find it still...
