About BACON
Sam's Choice Bacon is a cured pork bacon product sold under Walmart's Sam's Choice private-label brand, distributed by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Sam's Choice is one of Walmart's premium store brands, positioned above Great Value in tier. Bacon is made from pork belly that is cured with salt and preservatives, then typically smoked and sliced. The ingredient declaration lists pork cured with water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphates, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite. Sodium phosphates are used in processed meats to retain moisture, improve texture, and prevent oxidation. Sodium erythorbate is a curing accelerant (an isomer of ascorbic acid) that speeds up the curing reaction of sodium nitrite and helps maintain the red-pink color of cured meat. Sodium nitrite is the primary curing agent, responsible for food safety protection against Clostridium botulinum and other pathogens, as well as providing the characteristic flavor and color of cured pork. No natural smoke flavor is declared — this product may be conventionally smoked or may use a different processing method.
