The reason for this is that bacon is cured meat. There are two reasons not to eat raw meat: taste and food safety. Taste is individual, some people are OK with the taste and eat raw meat as long as they can find a source of meat fresh enough (think sashimi, carpaccio, steak tartare). Food safety is not a problem with bacon. The process of turning pork to bacon includes salt and smoke.
To make bacon, a large slab of the back, belly, or sides of the pig is cut off and subjected to a curing process. The best bacon comes from fresh meat, so if you are curing it at home, ask the butcher for pork which is less than 48 hours old.f the bacon is dry cured, it is rubbed in a salt mixture to which spices may be added. Most modern cooks leave the meat under refrigeration to cure, to ensure that it does not become unhealthy. Other cooks use a cooled room, leaving the slab on a slotted table so that the liquid from the meat will drain away.
