What it is

Bacon with smoke flavoring added is pork belly that has been cured and then treated with artificial smoke flavor. The smoke flavoring is typically made by burning wood and capturing the smoke, then processing it into a liquid or powder. This process gives the bacon a smoky taste without traditional smoking.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add smoke flavoring to enhance the smoky taste of bacon, making it more appealing to consumers. It is commonly found in processed meat products like bacon, sausages, and ham, as well as in convenience foods such as frozen breakfast sandwiches, pizzas, and snack foods.

Health notes

In the US, smoke flavorings are regulated by the FDA. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used according to good manufacturing practices. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated smoke flavorings. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some studies have raised questions about potential health effects of compounds found in smoke, though evidence is mixed and ongoing.

Allergen info

Bacon is not derived from any of the 9 major FDA allergens. It does not contain gluten.
