Hickory Smoked Beef Bacon

Breakdown

Processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Kroger Hickory Smoked Beef Bacon scores 67/100 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.

Kroger Hickory Smoked Beef Bacon lists 7 ingredients, starting with Beef, Water, Sea Salt, Cane Sugar and Sodium Phosphate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 67/100 Kroger Hickory Smoked Beef 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.
