Ingredients in 'regular' bacon: 
Ingredients Water, Salt, Sugar, Sodium Phosphate, sodium ascorbatesodium nitrite

**
Sodium Nitrite helps prevent the growth of Clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism in humans and is also used alone or in conjunction with sodium nitrate as a color fixative in cured meat and poultry products (bologna, hot dogs, bacon).

Cucumber and tomato salad are fresh along with the fresh fruit.  

Not the best meal, tyson chicken with bacon.  Head for the salad bar.
