The funny thing is that in Whole Foods and regular grocery stores too you can buy all sorts of bacon and other meats that say "no nitrates or nitrites added". All of that stuff is processed for the most part with celery juice or celery juice powder which contains.... nitrates.

I don't know about celery juice. I do know that you can inject fresh side with flavors (smoke, maple sugar, etc), call it bacon, and then sell it as it fresh meat or freeze it. It's only if you want to preserve it that you need nitrites to control botulism.
