What You Should Know

You'd spot this 4 oz heritage pancetta in the refrigerated charcuterie or specialty meats section, often grabbed for an elevated brunch, pasta night, or a weekend cheese board. It feels artisanal and indulgent — cured and dried for concentrated savory texture — and the short ingredient list (pork, sea salt, cultured celery powder, sugar, pepper, natural flavors, garlic) points to traditional curing rather than a highly industrial ultra-processed formulation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

This is a cured, dried meat with added salt, sugar and a cultured celery powder plus a flavoring — a processed product made from whole meat with preservation and seasoning rather than a multi-ingredient industrial formulation, consistent with NOVA group 3.
