What it is
These are small pieces of cooked bacon that have been flavored with smoke. They are typically made from pork belly that is cured, cooked, and then fried or baked until crisp. The smoke flavor is often added through artificial means to enhance the bacon taste.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add fully cooked bacon bits with smoke flavor added to provide a savory, smoky, and crunchy element to foods. They are commonly found in soups, salads, casseroles, and snack mixes, offering a convenient way to add bacon flavor without the need for cooking.
Health notes
Fully cooked bacon bits with smoke flavor added are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. The FDA has not established specific upper intake levels for smoke flavorings. JECFA has evaluated smoke flavorings and established specifications for their use. While generally considered safe in typical amounts, some research has explored the potential health effects of compounds found in smoke flavorings, though evidence at typical consumption levels is mixed.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Bacon is derived from pork, which is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless added during processing.
