Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Oscar Mayer Bacon scores 91/100 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.

Oscar Mayer Bacon lists 4 ingredients, starting with Pork, Salt, Sugar and Sodium Nitrite. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 91/100 Oscar Mayer 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.
