What it is
Bacon bits are a food product designed to mimic the taste and texture of cooked bacon. They are typically made from a combination of cured pork, water, salt, and sometimes smoke flavoring, which is then cooked and crumbled or diced.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add bacon bits to foods to impart a smoky, savory bacon flavor and a crunchy texture. They are commonly found in salads, soups, baked potatoes, and as a topping for various entrees.
Health notes
In the US, bacon bits are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of sodium and fat. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated ingredients used in bacon bits. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming bacon bits in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Bacon bits are derived from pork and are not a major allergen. They do not contain gluten unless wheat-based binders or anti-caking agents are added.
