Land O Frost

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the “Land O Frost Thick Sliced Canadian Bacon Natural Hickory Smoked” product falls at the lower end of the cleaner food spectrum on our website. This score reflects its composition and the presence of several ingredients that do not align with our criteria for healthier food choices.

The product is not organic, contributing to its lower rating. The absence of non-GMO ingredients further detracts from its score. Added sugars, in the form of both sugar and corn syrup, are present in the ingredients list, which are considered less desirable for those seeking cleaner food options. Additionally, the inclusion of sodium nitrite—an additive often used for preservation and flavor in processed meats—raises concerns due to its association with potential health risks.

Despite being a source of protein, the product’s overall composition, with its non-organic status, use of GMO ingredients, added sugars, and harmful additives, leads to our recommendation to avoid this particular item. The score of 1/5 green leaves is indicative of the product’s position relative to cleaner, healthier alternatives available in the market.

Consumers looking for healthier food options would be advised to consider products with a higher green leaf rating, which signifies a closer adherence to the criteria for organic ingredients, non-GMO composition, and the absence of added sugars and potentially harmful additives. This product, with its current ingredient profile, does not meet the standards set forth for those seeking to make cleaner food choices.
