This is an easy (and most likely affordable) way to make a shelf-stable version of our favorite cured meat.

Pringles generally do not contain pork. There may be certain specially flavors in some countries that include pork products, but by and large pork and pork products are not part of the Pringles ingredient list.

Bacon is more a description of the process, not the cut of pork. Pork Belly is a cut of pork that can be used fresh, or salted (or brined) and smoked to make bacon. Bacon can also be made from the loin or shoulder… called “canadian bacon” by Americans, and “back bacon” by most of the rest of the world.

Halal refers to the method used to cure the meat as opposed to the specific type of meat. For this reason, halal bacon can be made with almost any type of halal food or halal meat colored or formed to look like a piece of bacon. The reason pork is inappropriate is that it is not allowed under kosher or Islamic law.
