About APPLEWOOD SMOKED THICK CUT BACON, APPLEWOOD SMOKED
Meijer Applewood Smoked Thick Cut Bacon is a private-label cured pork product from Meijer, Inc., the Michigan-headquartered Midwest US supercenter chain. This is a thick-cut bacon variety with applewood smoke flavoring, categorized under bacon, sausages, and ribs. Thick-cut bacon is distinguished from regular-cut by a greater slice thickness, which is favored for pan frying, griddle cooking, and oven baking where a meatier texture is preferred.
The listed ingredients describe the curing solution only, which is standard practice for bacon labeling. The cure components are water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite. Salt is the primary curing agent for preservation and flavor. Sugar contributes a mild sweetness to the cure. Sodium phosphate is used to improve water retention and texture in the meat. Sodium erythorbate is a sodium salt of erythorbic acid that accelerates the curing process and maintains the pink color. Sodium nitrite is the primary antimicrobial preservative in cured meats and also contributes to the characteristic cured color. The pork itself is implied as the base ingredient through the product's bacon classification.
