I was going to suggest uncured bacon, but it looks like even superorganic uncured bacon has celery powder[1]. I guess nationally-distributed refrigerated meat products need more preservative than just low levels of salt. I'd suggest buying "pork belly" from a butcher. A good butcher should have more fresh product and be able to answer questions about preparation.

You don't need to go to a special butcher. Asian groceries usually have pork belly and you're seeing it at more and more "normal" supermarkets too. The problem, though, is that it tastes nothing like bacon.
