Yes, American grocery stores sell a product called “uncured bacon.” It’s bacon cured with celery juice, which is a natural source of nitrates. You can also buy pork belly if you have the right butcher.
Sometimes my grocery store also has it, but in a specialty meats section. I didn’t want to presume that every store would. I’ve heard good things about Costco but I don’t live near enough to one to justify a membership.

I am my own butcher and bacon maker. I didn’t know this existed because I haven’t purchased that slimy shit they call bacon for decades.
