Product Insights
Bacon is a sliced, smoked pork product made from pork meat, salt, dextrose, spices, natural flavorings, and several additives, and is sold in a recyclable plastic tray with lid. It belongs to the processed meat family (PNNS group: Processed meat), carries a Nutri-Score of D and is classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4), reflecting its high salt content (2.7 g per 100 g) and the presence of additives such as sodium nitrite, potassium nitrate and sodium ascorbate. While it is gluten-free, free of added colorings, and low in sugars, the product’s high salt level and use of preservatives limit its healthfulness, especially for those watching sodium intake.
