About KROGER, BAC'N BUDS CHIPS, BACON
Kroger Bac'n Buds Chips are a soy-based imitation bacon topping product sold under The Kroger Co.'s house brand, designed for use as a salad topping and garnish in place of real bacon. Each 7-gram serving provides 429 calories per 100 grams, with 28.57 grams of carbohydrates, 14.29 grams of fat, 42.86 grams of protein, and a striking 14.3 grams of dietary fiber — all reflecting the dense, concentrated nature of textured soy flour.
Soy flour forms the primary ingredient, providing the protein-dense base. Soybean oil with TBHQ (a synthetic antioxidant) provides fat. Hydrolyzed soy protein, yeast extract, and hydrolyzed vegetable protein (soy and corn) contribute the savory, bacon-like umami flavor. Natural smoke flavor simulates bacon smokiness. Caramel color and Red 3 and Red 40 artificial dyes create the reddish-brown bacon appearance. Partially hydrogenated soybean oil and partially hydrogenated cottonseed and soybean oil are used — indicating potential trans fat content consistent with legacy formulations predating the FDA's PHO restrictions. Soy lecithin is used as an emulsifier.
Allergens include soy (multiple forms throughout). This product is free from wheat, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, and peanuts. Notably, Bac'n Buds contain no animal products despite being marketed as a bacon analog — they are vegan. However, partially hydrogenated oils flag potential trans fat content. Suited for topping salads, baked potatoes, and soups where a crumbled bacon appearance and flavor is desired without pork products.
