What You Should Know

You'd find this center-cut smokehouse bacon in the refrigerated meat aisle or near the deli, often grabbed for weekend breakfasts, brunches, or to add smoky richness to sandwiches and salads. It gives an indulgent, comforting, slightly nostalgic vibe — think sizzling morning aromas and crisp edges after frying. Though the ingredient list is short (pork, water, sea salt, raw cane sugar), the curing, added water/sugar and smoking are signs of a processed meat with preserved texture and flavor rather than a simple fresh cut.

Processed Food

Why this score?

Curing and smoking with added water and sugar make this a processed meat product (NOVA 3): ingredients are few and recognizable, but the product has been preserved and modified rather than remaining a minimally processed whole food.
