About HARDWOOD SMOKED THICK CUT BACON, HARDWOOD SMOKED
Meijer Hardwood Smoked Thick Cut Bacon is a cured and smoked pork belly product sold under the Meijer store brand by Meijer, Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan. This SKU explicitly lists pork as the primary ingredient, followed by the curing agents, offering greater transparency about the meat component compared to some parallel Meijer bacon listings that list only the curing brine ingredients.
Ingredients include pork cured with water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite. The singular use of sodium phosphate (rather than the plural sodium phosphates seen in other SKUs) may reflect a minor formulation distinction or a USDA database reporting variation. No allergens are declared. The product contains no carbohydrates and is compatible with low-carbohydrate, gluten-free, and paleo diets.
Per 100 grams, this product provides approximately 500 calories, 41.7 grams of protein, no carbohydrates, and 37.5 grams of fat. This lean-leaning macronutrient profile is consistent with a thick-cut bacon that has been trimmed or sourced from a leaner section of the pork belly.
Meijer Hardwood Smoked Thick Cut Bacon is best cooked from refrigerated or fully thawed state. The thicker gauge benefits from moderate-heat oven baking at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, which renders the fat evenly without burning. Pan-frying on medium-low also allows for even cooking.
