Our research notes
What to know before you choose this pork & bacon
The maker’s published label lists 11 ingredients, led by pastured pork, sea salt and turbinado sugar. Worth noting: it lists added sweeteners (turbinado sugar) and MSG. The maker describes it as pasture-raised; these are the maker’s statements, so look for the certifier’s seal on the package. For pork product, the comparison that matters most is cure and sugar: check for nitrite sources and added sugars in bacon and ham.

- Worth checkingLists added sweeteners: turbinado sugar (first appears at position 3 of 11).
- Good to knowCured with a nitrite source (celery or sodium nitrite); processed meat is classified as carcinogenic to humans by the WHO’s cancer agency.
