What You Should Know

You'll find this 8 oz package tucked in the refrigerated meat or organic case — a staple grab for weekend breakfasts, brunches, or whenever you want classic bacon flavor. It gives a nostalgic, indulgent and comforting vibe (but with an organic, cleaner-facing label), and when cooked it delivers the chewy-to-crispy texture you expect. The short ingredient list (pork, water, sea salt, small amounts of cane sugar and celery powder) and lack of industrial additives point to traditional curing/smoking rather than heavy industrial reformulation, which is consistent with a processed-not-ultra-processed product.
