Lardons fumés

Lardons fumés are smoked pork belly strips produced in France and sold by Carrefour in a 150 g pack of two sealed trays. The product belongs to the processed‑meat category, delivering 17 g of protein per 100 g but also 22 g of fat (including 8.8 g of saturated fat) and 2.3 g of salt, resulting in a Nutri‑Score of E and a NOVA classification of 4, indicating an ultra‑processed food. Its ingredient list contains pork breast, water, salt, potassium lactate (E326), dextrose, natural flavorings with polyphenols, and vitamin C as an antioxidant, which contribute to its flavor and preservation but also add to its processed nature.
