SMART BACON Plant-Based Bacon

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Lightlife SMART BACON Plant-Based Bacon scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

Lightlife SMART BACON Plant-Based Bacon lists 16 ingredients, starting with Water, Wheat Gluten, Soy Protein Isolate, Soybean Oil and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Lightlife SMART BACON Plant-Based Bacon scores worse than most meat alternatives we have scored. A higher-scoring option in meat alternatives is Bob's Red Mill Textured Vegetable Protein at 97/100.
