What it is

Fully cooked bacon pieces are small, pre-cooked pieces of bacon. They are typically made from pork belly that is cured, smoked, and then cooked until crisp before being chopped or crumbled.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add fully cooked bacon pieces to provide a smoky, savory bacon flavor and texture to foods. They are commonly found in pizzas, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and macaroni and cheese dishes.

Health notes

Fully cooked bacon pieces are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended use. Bacon is a processed meat, and the World Health Organization (WHO) classifies processed meats as Group 1 carcinogens, meaning there is sufficient evidence that they cause cancer in humans, particularly colorectal cancer. However, the risk is associated with high consumption levels. JECFA has evaluated processed meats. Evidence on the health effects of processed meats is mixed, with some studies suggesting links to heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Allergen info

Fully cooked bacon pieces are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
