About APPLEWOOD SMOKED NATURAL DUROC PORK UNCURED BACON, APPLEWOOD SMOKED

Private Selection Applewood Smoked Natural Duroc Pork Uncured Bacon is a premium bacon product sold under The Kroger Co.'s Private Selection brand, which occupies the upper tier of the company's private-label portfolio. The Duroc designation refers to a specific heritage breed of pig known for its higher intramuscular fat content and richer flavor profile compared to commodity pork. This product is classified in the bacon, sausages, and ribs category and is sold across Kroger-family banners including Kroger, Ralph's, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, and City Market.

The ingredient list is notably minimal: pork, water, sea salt, and celery powder. The term uncured refers to the absence of added sodium nitrite as a direct curing ingredient. However, celery powder is a natural source of nitrates that convert to nitrites during processing, which means this product achieves a curing effect through naturally derived nitrate compounds. The absence of sodium phosphates, sodium erythorbate, sugar, artificial smoke flavoring, or other processing additives distinguishes this formulation from conventionally cured bacon. Applewood smoke flavor is imparted through actual smoking or a smoke application process noted in the product name. This product contains no wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, or tree nuts.
