What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated meat aisle or organic section, grabbed for weekend breakfasts, BLTs, or to add savory bite to a quick dinner. It gives a rustic, wholesome, slightly nostalgic vibe—familiar bacon indulgence but positioned as a cleaner, organic option. The very short ingredient list and traditional cure (sea salt and cultured celery powder) suggest a cured, preserved texture from minimal processing rather than an additive‑heavy industrial product, consistent with a processed (not ultra‑processed) classification.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from pork bellies with sea salt and cultured celery powder as a natural curing agent and no artificial additives, this is a traditionally cured processed meat rather than an ultra-processed formulation, so it aligns with NOVA 3.
