View page
US Patent:
6669974, Dec 30, 2003
Filed:
Dec 8, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/733419
Inventors:
Ralph E. Weldy - Schererville IN

Methods of curing and processing pork bellies into fully-cooked bacon have been developed that eliminates both injecting the whole pork belly with pickle solution and smokehouse treatment thereafter.
