About KROGER, LOWER SODIUM BACON
Kroger Lower Sodium Bacon is a cured, sliced pork bacon product sold under the core Kroger label by The Kroger Co. at Kroger, King Soopers, Harris Teeter, Fred Meyer, and Ralph's. The ingredient declaration focuses on the cure: water, salt, sodium phosphates, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite. Sodium phosphates improve water retention and texture; sodium erythorbate is an antioxidant that accelerates the curing reaction and helps stabilize the pink color; sodium nitrite is the primary curing agent responsible for preservation, characteristic bacon flavor, and the nitrosamine-forming reaction that is the basis for processed meat health advisories.
At 471 calories per 100 grams with 41.2 g fat and 29.4 g protein, bacon is a high-fat, high-sodium protein. Zero carbohydrates and fiber. The "lower sodium" designation indicates reduced salt content relative to standard bacon — still meaningful for sodium-watching consumers. Contains pork; not suitable for halal or kosher diets. The clean ingredient list (no sugars, artificial flavors, or color) is notable for a processed meat. Best used as a flavoring component — crumbled on salads, in pasta, or as a burger topping — rather than a primary protein source for everyday consumption.
