Center Cut Applewood Smoked Uncured Bacon, 12 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this center-cut applewood smoked bacon in the refrigerated meat case or reaching for it when planning a weekend brunch, holiday breakfast or backyard cookout. It feels nostalgic and indulgent — smoky, savory and built for crisp edges and chewy bite. The product is cured and smoked with simple extras (turbinado sugar, celery powder) which affect texture and flavor; those traditional processes make it a processed meat rather than an ultra‑processed industrial formulation.
