What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated meats aisle or at a farmer-style display when stocking up for weekend breakfasts or backyard brunches. It gives a nostalgic, indulgent breakfast vibe—thin, salty slices that crisp up and smell smoky when cooked—while the short, recognizable ingredient list (including cultured celery powder as a natural nitrite source) signals traditional curing rather than industrial reformulation. Despite the clean-label wording, it is a processed cured meat with texture and preservation driven by salting/curing rather than complex ultra-processed formulations.
