I've made bacon a couple dozen times and never seen anything like this. Today is day 9 on the cure but this brown/gray discoloration started earlier and I was just hoping it would go away. It smells okay but I am concerned, this is for a family reunion and I would prefer not to make my whole family sick. In addition to the color, the meat is not as firm as I would expect at this point. Perhaps I undercured it. I'm also using Costco pork belly for the first time.
