About LOW SODIUM BACON, HARDWOOD SMOKED
Ralphs Low Sodium Bacon, Hardwood Smoked, is a cured pork product from Kroger's Ralphs regional banner, which operates primarily in Southern California. Ralphs is a Kroger-owned supermarket chain and one of the company's longstanding West Coast store brands. This bacon is positioned as a lower-sodium option for consumers monitoring sodium intake while still wanting the flavor of traditional hardwood smoked bacon.
The ingredient list is notable for what it says about the base product: "cured with water, salt, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite." No pork is explicitly listed as a named ingredient — this is the cure declaration style, implying the base pork is assumed. Sodium nitrite is the curing agent responsible for the characteristic pink color and preservation of cured meats. Sodium erythorbate accelerates the curing process and acts as an antioxidant. Sodium phosphate retains moisture.
At 533 calories per 100 grams with 40 grams of protein and 40 grams of fat and zero carbohydrates, this is a high-calorie, high-protein, zero-carb product typical of cured pork. There is no fiber. The only allergen is pork/meat — no dairy, wheat, soy, eggs, or other common allergens. The low-sodium designation likely refers to reduced sodium chloride compared to regular bacon formulations, though sodium phosphate and sodium nitrite still contribute to the overall sodium content.
Ingredients
