About HARDWOOD SMOKED THICK CUT BACON, HARDWOOD SMOKED
Kroger Hardwood Smoked Thick Cut Bacon is a premium thick-sliced cured and smoked pork belly product from The Kroger Co.'s Kroger private label. Thick cut bacon is sliced at approximately twice the thickness of regular bacon, resulting in a meatier texture with more prominent chew and greater bite-to-fat ratio per slice. The cure brine consists of water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphates, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite — a standard wet cure composition.
Thick cut bacon is favored for applications where texture and presence are priorities, including BLT sandwiches, steakhouse-style breakfast plates, gourmet burgers, and as a recipe ingredient in charcuterie boards, pasta carbonara, and pan sauces. The greater thickness also provides better performance in oven-baking and air-frying compared to regular-cut bacon, which can overcook quickly. The hardwood smoking designation implies natural smoke exposure rather than liquid smoke flavoring.
Per 100 grams, this product provides 600 calories, 40 grams of protein, zero carbohydrates, and 50 grams of fat — very high calorie and fat density, reflecting the thick-cut pork belly composition with a significant fat-to-lean ratio. No allergens beyond pork are declared. Not suitable for pork-free, halal, or kosher dietary requirements. Contains no wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, nuts, or sesame. Sodium nitrite is present as a curing agent. This product is available at Kroger-family stores and is positioned as a step up from standard Kroger-brand bacon in terms of slice thickness and eating experience.
