About HARDWOOD SMOKED BACON, HARDWOOD SMOKED
Kroger Hardwood Smoked Bacon is a cured and smoked pork belly product from The Kroger Co.'s Kroger private label. This product is processed using a standard wet-cured bacon method, where pork bellies are injected or tumbled with a brine containing water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite before being transferred to a smokehouse for hardwood smoking. The minimal ingredient list reflects a conventional bacon cure without the added flavorings, maple syrup, or brown sugar found in specialty bacon variants.
Sodium nitrite is the primary curing agent, providing the characteristic pink color, cured flavor, and antimicrobial protection of bacon, particularly against Clostridium botulinum. Sodium phosphate improves moisture retention, while sodium erythorbate (a sodium salt of erythorbic acid) accelerates the curing reaction and ensures consistent color. Hardwood smoking imparts flavor and contributes to surface dryness, which further extends shelf life.
Per 100 grams raw bacon, this product provides approximately 533 calories, 40 grams of protein, zero carbohydrates, and 40 grams of fat. The calorie density reflects the high fat content of pork belly. No allergens beyond pork are declared; no wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, nuts, or sesame are listed. Not suitable for pork-free, halal, or kosher dietary requirements. Bacon at this fat level is widely used for breakfast preparation, as a recipe ingredient in wraps, salads, casseroles, and pasta dishes, and as a topping for burgers, soups, and baked potatoes.
