My wife and I bought a package of bacon from the supermarket, and when
we opened the package, the ends of the bacon (in part of the fat) had
black spots/lines going through it. Does anyone know what this could
be? We removed (generously) the parts with the spots, and started
cooking the rest (we haven't eaten it, though). Does anyone know what
these spots could be?
You can e-mail me at [email protected] if you know. Your help
would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if there are any questions to clarify matters, I will be glad to
answer them. Thanks.

Arsenic poisoning will do that.

$3.00 for some bacon, what do *you* think you should do? If you
want an email response, it will cost $3.25.

Could it be black pepper? I've seen what you describe on some bacon
that has been cured with pepper on the rind (edges).

Do you know what a trip to the ER costs in time, money, worry, health? If
it doesn't show those little black lines/spots on the image on the package,
dump it. Try shopping for bacon at a different market.

I return anything I'm worried about. My grocery store takes back
everything. Even if I don't like it (but I don't usually retunbr
stuff just because I didn't like it - unless it atrocious. I'm
not a picky eater).

According to Long John Silver the Black Spot is most hazardous.
