Bacon – how does it go “bad”

156 views

Commercial bacon is a cured meat but it has a “best before date” on the package. Assuming it’s left in the original packaging, what happens to it after the BB date to make it inedible? (Acknowledging that the BB date is probably conservative and there’s likely some time built in before it’s truly inadvisable to consume.)

It’s not cured like jerky. There is still a lot of moisture in the bacon. So after a while it will rot or bacteria will start to eat it and then it no longer safe for us to eat
