About FULLY COOKED BACON
Meijer Fully Cooked Bacon is a pre-cooked pork bacon product sold under the Meijer private label at Meijer, Inc. supercenter stores throughout the Midwest. The product is sold in fully cooked form, requiring only reheating before consumption, and is made from cured pork belly.
The ingredient list is straightforward for a cured pork product. The cure system consists of water, salt, and sugar as the primary non-meat ingredients. Natural smoke flavor is used rather than direct smoking, indicating the bacon is flavored with smoke condensate rather than traditionally smoked over wood. Sodium phosphate is a curing and moisture-retention additive. Sodium erythorbate is a sodium salt of erythorbic acid, used to accelerate curing and prevent color fade in cured meat; it is a non-ascorbic acid antioxidant. Sodium nitrite is the curing agent responsible for the characteristic pink color, flavor, and microbial safety of cured bacon. Sodium nitrite reacts with meat myoglobin to form nitrosomyoglobin. No artificial flavors beyond natural smoke flavor are declared. No allergens are present.
