We freeze most of our bacon, straight out of the grocery, in vaccuum sealed
bags. Works just fine- in fact, it's one of the foodstuffs that doesn't have
any textural or flavor changes from freezing, likely because of the fat. I'd
do it without a second thought.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
