Sugar cured

  flavor of America’s favorite bacon.
• The sweet-smoky flavor has been consistently rated #1 in blind taste tests.
• A patented injection system disperses the sugar cure solution uniformly throughout the belly for consistent taste.
• Oscar Mayer bellies are hung at least three times longer than those of most other bacon products for even cure dispersion and absorption.

Natural hardwood smoked

• To provide Oscar Mayer bacon’s great flavor, color and cooking performance,
  it’s hardwood smoked for hours.
• Bellies are placed in smokehouses at least 50% longer than most
  competitors’ bellies
