About HARDWOOD SMOKED THICK CUT BACON, HARDWOOD SMOKED
Meijer Hardwood Smoked Thick Cut Bacon is a premium-gauge sliced pork belly bacon offered under the Meijer store brand by Meijer, Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The thick cut designation indicates slices cut at a greater thickness (approximately 1/4 inch) than standard bacon, resulting in a meatier texture, slower rendering time, and a chewier bite profile preferred by consumers who enjoy a more substantial bacon experience.
The curing formulation consists of water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphates, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite — identical to the standard Meijer Hardwood Smoked Bacon range. Hardwood smoking is applied after wet curing to develop the characteristic smoky aroma and flavor. No allergens are declared. The product is carbohydrate-free and appropriate for ketogenic, paleo, and low-carbohydrate dietary approaches.
Per 100 grams, this product provides approximately 556 calories, 38.9 grams of protein, no carbohydrates, and 50 grams of fat. The higher caloric density compared to standard-cut Meijer bacon reflects the thicker slices (18g serving size), which carry proportionally more fat per slice by weight. The elevated protein content is a consequence of the greater meat mass per slice.
Thick cut bacon is well-suited for applications where texture is paramount — griddle cooking for brunch, sandwiches where the bacon functions as a substantial ingredient rather than a garnish, and wrapping proteins or vegetables for grilling. It requires slightly longer cooking time than standard bacon.
