Summary

This bacon product is made from natural pork and includes beneficial ingredients like sea salt and maple syrup, which are minimally processed and provide essential nutrients. The use of turbinado sugar and cultured celery powder as curing agents is a cleaner alternative to synthetic preservatives. However, as a processed food, it is subject to a processing score cap, which limits its maximum potential rating despite the relatively clean ingredient list.
