About BACON FLAVOR BAC'N BUDS, BACON

Kroger Bacon Flavor Bac'n Buds are soy-based imitation bacon bits sold under the standard Kroger private-label brand of The Kroger Co., available at Kroger, Ralph's, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, City Market, and Smith's stores. This product is classified in the salad dressing and mayonnaise category and is used primarily as a bacon-flavored topping for salads, baked potatoes, and other dishes.

Soy flour is the primary ingredient and the structural base of the product, providing both texture and the majority of protein and fiber. Soybean oil with TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone) as an antioxidant is the secondary ingredient. Minor ingredients at less than 2% include hydrolyzed soy protein and hydrolyzed vegetable protein (from hydrolyzed soy and corn protein) blended with partially hydrogenated cottonseed and soybean oil; yeast extract for umami character; natural smoke flavor to approximate the bacon smoke profile; sunflower oil; sugar; dextrose; dried yeast; caramel color for the characteristic brown hue; Red 3 and Red 40 synthetic dyes for color; and soy lecithin. Natural flavor is also present. Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in the hydrolyzed protein component is a source of trans fat.
