I believe bacon just describes the cut. In my area of the US, you can buy a package of uncured bacon right alongside the usual cured varieties. I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine the slaughterhouses described here wouldn't be doing any processing outside of the slaughtering, butchering, and packing.
