Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Smithfield Thick Sliced Cherrywood-Smoked Bacon scores 40/100 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.

Smithfield Thick Sliced Cherrywood-Smoked Bacon lists 10 ingredients, starting with Pork, Water, Salt, Cane Sugar and Brown Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 40/100 Smithfield Thick Sliced Cherrywood-Smoked Bacon scores worse than most deli & cured meats we have scored. A higher-scoring option in deli & cured meats is Dietz & Watson Originals Organic Roasted Turkey Breast at 100/100.
