About CANADIAN BACON
Meijer Canadian Bacon is a cured, fully cooked pork loin product sold under the Meijer private-label brand at Meijer supercenter locations across the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Canadian bacon, also known as back bacon, differs from traditional American-style pork belly bacon in that it is made from the lean pork loin rather than the fattier belly cut, resulting in a lower-fat, more ham-like product.
The ingredient list reflects a standard cured pork formulation: the base meat is cured with water, sugar, and salt as the primary curing agents. At 2% or less, the product contains sodium lactate (a preservative and humectant that extends shelf life), sodium phosphate (a moisture-retention agent), flavoring, sodium diacetate (a preservative and flavor agent), and sodium nitrite (a curing salt that inhibits Clostridium botulinum and contributes to the characteristic pink color and cured flavor of Canadian bacon). The ingredient list is simple and free of artificial colors or complex flavor compounds beyond the curing system.
Per 100 grams, Meijer Canadian Bacon provides 98 calories, 16.39 g of protein, 3.28 g of carbohydrates, and 2.46 g of fat, with no measurable fiber. The protein content is high — exceeding 15 g per 100 g — making this a high-protein, low-fat meat product relative to other cured pork items. The fat content is notably lower than American-style streaky bacon. The calorie density is moderate. The product contains no wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, or nut allergens based on the listed ingredients. Individuals monitoring sodium intake should note the multiple sodium-containing curing agents.
