Bacon?

Does anyone know if the nutritional information on a package of bacon is based on cooked or raw values?

I know there is a difference in weight for other meats as to cooked and raw values, and mostly 3 ounces of cooked is about the same as 4 ounces of raw - but bacon?? Well, it's mostly fat and loses much more in weight after cooking so, I have no clue.... and I can't seem to find the answer on my own!

    In th US, packaged bacon is usually labeled for the cooked weight (I.e. 1 pan fried slice). Check your package for the serving size.

    From what I recall, in the UK, they usually display calories per rasher of bacon, thus making life easier, and bacon consumption easier.. *sighs happily*.. bacon..
