Summary
This bacon product is made from pork, water, sea salt, and a small amount of cane sugar and celery powder, indicating a relatively clean ingredient list with minimal additives. The use of sea salt and the absence of artificial preservatives or seed oils are positive factors. However, as a processed food, it is subject to a processing score cap, which limits its maximum potential score despite the quality of its ingredients.
