Wade, evening..... Pumped or Immersion cured bacon has a different standard for ingoing nitrite you forgot to mention... Probably because you are as old as I am.... It happens to all of us.... Taken from your link....
How much nitrite can be used in curing bacon?
The USDA is responsible for monitoring the proper use of nitrite by meat processors. While sodium nitrite cannot exceed 200 ppm going into dry-cured bacon, sodium nitrite cannot exceed 120 ppm for both pumped and immersion-cured bacon.
