We use a cross breed of pigs, Duroc and Large White, which are very popular in the UK pig farming industry. While we would love to use traditional breeds, the consistency of the pork from these breeds is erratic to say the least, and our customers prefer to have the same product week in week out.

Really depends on the dog, in our testing, we found some dogs would chew the packaging regardless of what deterrents we used. The bacon is vacuum packed, then packed in an envelope and then an outer envelope keeping delicious aromas to a minimum, with the deterrent then added we believe all reasonable steps have been taken to prevent the bacon being eaten prior to reaching the pan. We would love it to be fool proof, but unfortunately we can't guarantee that your dog will not chew your tasty post.

The pigs we use are not officially classified as Free Range. Yes, their entire lives are spent outside, yes they are not kept in a confined space, yes they have access to shelter, and yes they are very happy pigs but they are not Free Range, as their defined boundaries are smaller than that of a free range pig.

In a word - No. Bacon by its very nature was created to preserve pork long before we had refrigeration, however as today's modern process of manufacture is very much an industrial one most bacon needs to be refrigerated or it just won't keep. Cure & Simple bacon is handmade using an old fashioned process and has water actively removed which means if the seal remains intact on the packet our bacon doesn't need to be refrigerated. However we bow our heads to modern practise and choose to keep our products chilled, so that you have the peace of mind that when our bacon goes through your door it's in the best possible condition.

Simply send an email to hello@cureandsimple.com outlining the issue. We will then refund you 100% in full immediately.
