Hickory Smoked Turkey Bacon

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Jennie-O Hickory Smoked Turkey Bacon scores 53/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Jennie-O Hickory Smoked Turkey Bacon lists 10 ingredients, starting with Dark Turkey, Water, Salt, Sugar and Potassium Lactate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 53/100 Jennie-O Hickory Smoked Turkey Bacon lands mid-scale — below the typical score in deli & cured meats, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in deli & cured meats is Dietz & Watson Originals Organic Roasted Turkey Breast at 100/100.
