Bacon

Made from pork; haram outright.

Why?

Bacon is cured, smoked pork belly or pork loin. As a pork product, it is haram regardless of preparation method. 'Turkey bacon' or 'beef bacon' are different products made from other meats — their halal status depends on whether that meat was halal-slaughtered.
