A wave of revulsion has swept across food enthusiasts after a Discovery Channel UK documentary resurfaced on YouTube, revealing the process of bacon production.

he programme, which originally aired in 2018, has left viewers vowing to never eat bacon again due to their "disgust" at the manufacturing process."Bacon is now processed and even pre-cooked in factories," the documentary begins, detailing how pork bellies are tossed into a giant tumbler to soften the meat and make skin removal easier.

The softened bellies are then stretched out and placed face down on a conveyor belt, which takes them through a slicer to remove the skin.As the skin heads off to be turned into crackling, the meat is flipped over by a device.

Further along the line, workers create a brine solution to cure the pork."Salt is funnelled into a tank of water and mixed thoroughly until it dissolves.
