Ingredient Score:

Awarded a 1/5 green leaf rating, the Land O Frost Hickory Smoked Canadian Bacon does not meet the standards for cleaner food options as defined by our website. This product is not organic, and it includes GMO ingredients, both factors contributing to its lower score.
Moving beyond the lack of organic certification and the presence of GMOs, the ingredient list raises additional concerns. It includes added sugars, specifically naming sugar and corn syrup solids, which are considered less healthy options for sweetening. Furthermore, the inclusion of sodium nitrite is a significant detractor, as this additive is associated with potential health risks.
It is important to note that these ingredients—sugar, corn syrup solids, and sodium nitrite—are not just present in trace amounts. The product contains more than 2% of these components, indicating a notable concentration that impacts the overall nutritional value of the bacon.
The absence of organic ingredients suggests the potential for pesticide and herbicide residue, while the use of GMOs raises questions about the environmental and health impacts of such technologies. The added sugars contribute to the product’s caloric content without providing essential nutrients, and high sugar intake is linked to various health issues. Corn syrup solids are a highly processed form of sugar with an even higher fructose content, which may exacerbate these health risks. Sodium nitrite, used here as a preservative and flavor enhancer, has been scrutinized for its connection to negative health outcomes when consumed in large quantities.
Given these factors, the Land O Frost Hickory Smoked Canadian Bacon receives the lowest rating on our scale. Our assessment points to the product as one to be avoided for those seeking cleaner, healthier food options. The presence of non-organic, GMO ingredients, added sugars, and harmful additives does not align with the values of our rating system, which prioritizes natural, nutrient-rich, and minimally processed foods.
