THERE’S A NEW LOOK COMING [in Bacon] If you’ve looked at a package of bacon lately, you may have noticed the new style “window” on the package. You can ac tually see the bacon inside. Consumers have long com plained to USDA about being unable to tell the lean-to-fat ratio of a slice of bacon in a package. Now, as a result of recently enacted regulations you can see-through the “new” style window and select the leanest-or not-as you like it. Windowed packages of the sliced bacon must show at least 70% of the length of a repre sentative strip of bacon, and the window must be at least IVi inches wide-the better to see through-according to USDA.
