I thought bacon was cured by definition? (Not that I'm terribly familiar with pork products...)
No fatback is often sold uncured, porkbelly seems to be required on every menu these days. I guess it depends on if you always call it bacon.
Tinnitus,
You want food that's good for you like Gomae?
Stuff that's not so good like baked spaghetti
Things for the eyes like Maki
Something to make sure you don't circulate blood too quickly like a hamburger
or something for the bedroom, on the half shell

No. If frozen it don't need to be cured for long shelf life. It can be salted, though, and smoked. It is a different story.
I forgot to add sea salt to my breakfast, but it is obvious.

It is.I thought bacon was cured by definition?
Salting and/or smoking is curing even if you don't use pink salt and you don't do it very long. If it is brined and packaged like that it's called fresh bacon. If you choose a longer cure then the gate is wide open as to what it is called.No. If frozen it don't need to be cured for long shelf life. It can be salted, though, and smoked. It is a different story.
The funny thing is in the US they call back bacon 'Canadian bacon'. We don't have Canadian bacon here, we call it back bacon. Belly bacon is just called bacon.
Yes, that's a Federal regulation in your country. If the addition of nitrates is from natural sources they can say, 'no added nitrates' and call it 'uncured'. Both of which are incorrect. It is another example of how wrong things can go if left to the devices of those not well versed. It allows for an 'uncured' product to have a higher sodium nitrate count than one that is labeled as 'cured'.
Curing is just a form of food preservation. Salting was one of the first known to the caucasian Europeans, just like smoking and drying to the North American aboriginals. They are all forms of curing. The Trader Joe label is a result of the wrong road being taken to make the public believe they are being offered a healthier option, nothing more than a marketing gimmick.

I don't know Lardo, but I know Shpig. It is very salty and smoked Salo.
The Slavic word "salo" as applied to this type of food (it has other meanings as well) is often translated to English as "bacon" or "lard". Unlike lard, salo is not rendered. Unlike bacon, salo is not necessarily bacon-cured. Salo has little or no meat (skeletal muscle), and low-meat high-fat bacon commonly is referred to as salo. It is also identical to Italian lardo, the only possible difference being the spice mix: Russian/Ukrainian salo uses only salt, garlic, black pepper and, possibly, a bit of coriander in curing process.
