1. Production materials: Bacon is usually made from pork belly meat, while ham can use meat from pork shoulders, hind legs and other parts.

2. Processing method: Bacon is usually cured first and then smoked or air-dried. Ham is cured and aged.

3. Appearance and texture: Bacon is generally long and narrow strips with traces of smoke on the surface and thin and crisp texture. Ham is a larger piece with a softer texture.
