Applegate Cured Bacon scores 98/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Applegate Cured Bacon lists 5 ingredients, starting with Pork, Water, Sea Salt, Cane Sugar and Celery Powder. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 98/100 Applegate Cured Bacon sits in our top band, among the better deli & cured meats we have scored. A higher-scoring option in deli & cured meats is Simply Nature Organic Uncured Beef Hot Dogs at 100/100.
