About HARDWOOD SMOKED THICK CUT SUGAR CURED BACON, HARDWOOD SMOKED
Fred Meyer Hardwood Smoked Thick Cut Sugar Cured Bacon is a premium cured and smoked pork belly product from The Kroger Co.'s Fred Meyer banner, which operates across the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. This thick cut sugar cured formulation uses water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite — a cure formulation that adds sugar to the standard brine, contributing mild sweetness to the final bacon flavor and aiding caramelization during pan-frying or oven baking.
Sugar curing is a traditional bacon technique in which added sucrose or other sugars are incorporated into the brine, imparting a subtle sweet counterpoint to the saltiness and smoke of the cured product. The thick cut designation increases the per-slice meat content and eating presence. Hardwood smoking imparts natural smoke character from actual wood combustion rather than from liquid smoke flavoring.
Per 100 grams, this product provides 583 calories, 33.33 grams of protein, zero carbohydrates, and 50 grams of fat. The protein content is slightly lower than some related thick cut entries, possibly reflecting a different pork belly composition or lean-to-fat ratio. No allergens beyond pork are declared. Contains no wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, nuts, or sesame. Not suitable for pork-free, halal, or kosher diets. Sodium nitrite is present as a standard curing agent. This product is available exclusively at Fred Meyer locations and represents the premium bacon offering within that Kroger regional banner.
