Summary
This uncured bacon is a processed food with a relatively clean ingredient list, featuring pork as the primary component. The use of cultured celery powder instead of synthetic nitrates is a positive aspect, and the absence of artificial additives or seed oils is commendable. However, the product's processing level limits its score, and the presence of added sugar, even in the form of turbinado sugar, slightly detracts from its overall healthiness.
