About HARDWOOD SMOKED CENTER CUT BACON, HARDWOOD SMOKED
Private Selection Hardwood Smoked Center Cut Bacon is a premium cured and smoked pork product from The Kroger Co.'s Private Selection sub-brand. Center cut bacon is sourced from the center section of the pork belly, which yields slices with a higher proportion of lean meat and less fat tail than standard bacon cuts. This formulation uses a simple wet cure brine of water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite, consistent with clean-label premium bacon positioning.
Center cut bacon is a popular option for consumers who prefer leaner slices with more even lean-to-fat distribution than standard bacon while still maintaining the characteristic flavor of hardwood-smoked cured pork belly. The Private Selection positioning implies quality differentiation from the standard Kroger private label bacon, primarily through cut selection and premium hardwood smoking.
Per 100 grams, this product provides 333 calories, 33.33 grams of protein, zero carbohydrates, and 26.67 grams of fat — a leaner profile than standard Kroger bacon, consistent with the center cut's reduced fat content. No allergens beyond pork are listed. This product is not suitable for pork-free, halal, or kosher dietary requirements. Contains no wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, nuts, or sesame.
