El "Diccionario panhispánico de dudas" (DPD), indica que la voz inglesa "bacon" ('panceta ahumada') se ha adaptado al español en las formas "beicon" —que adapta la grafía a la pronunciación inglesa original— y "bacón" —que conserva la grafía original, con pronunciación a la española [...] La forma "beicon" es hoy mayoritaria y, por ello, preferible. Dada su frecuencia en países como España, se admite el uso del extranjerismo adaptado, aunque es siempre preferible el empleo de equivalencias españolas tradicionales, como "tocino" —usada, con este sentido, en países como México, Chile o el Ecuador—, "tocineta" —en países como Cuba, Colombia y Venezuela— y, en general, "panceta ahumada" [...] 4, record 1, Spanish, - bac%C3%B3n
