Naked Bacon: All-Natural, Incredible Taste Voted best bacon in the country by Food & Wine ® Magazine in 2016, Naked Bacon™ is a gourmet, all-natural bacon, with no ni- trates, nitrites, chemicals, phosphates or water. The company likes to think of itself as the first microbrewery of bacon. This mouthwatering recipe was passed down from a great grandfather, who came from Germany to the United States in 1861 and left a legacy of bacon that tastes just like it did 150 years ago. The secret is in the blend of herbs and spices used to cure the bacon, with a flavor profile unlike any other. It's bacon the way it was meant to be. Naked Bacon is one of the first to create flavors of bacon – Jalapeno, Chipotle and Original – just like Ben and Jerry's did for ice cream. For those watching their sugar in- take, the sugar-free version is one of only a few options in the country. Add to this the honor of being approved on the "Whole 30 Program," and now you have a bacon with great credibility in the natural foods segment. Naked Bacon is also one of the few pork bacons to tout the USDA-ap- proved claim of 44 percent less fat and 25 percent less sodium than competitors, which it achieves through proprietary traditional curing methods and secret ingredients. See and taste Naked Bacon at booth #F4207 and learn about its natural line of incredible- tasting bacon boasting no ni- trates, phosphates, water or chemicals, that is sugar free, contains less fat, less sodium, is gluten free and Whole 30 ap- proved! Visit Naked Bacon at booth #F4207. For more information, contact John Kreilich at 314.324.4261 or john@nakedbaconco.com, or go to www.nakedbaconco.com. US.Milk Nutrition, Inc.
