Columbus Craft Meats Hickory Smoked Uncured Turkey Bacon
Analysis updated August 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This turkey bacon is processed but features a relatively clean ingredient list with turkey dark meat as the primary component, providing a good source of protein. The use of sea salt and cultured celery powder as preservatives is preferable to synthetic additives. However, the inclusion of cane sugar, a refined sugar, detracts from its health profile, and the product's processing level limits its maximum potential score.
