found a really good bacon with no added sugar

[Gentlerain73]

it is really good bacon and it has no sugar of any kind...it is Gwaltney they have some regular cured also but sugars added to it...sadly it does still have the nitrates...but I have found none without those...oh and they sell it at walmart supercenters down here in Oklahoma

also I heard Oscar Mayer hotdogs have now made some hot dogs with no nitrates or sugars...can anyone verify this?

Hi, Gentlerain!

I had 1 of these for dinner tonight. I'll give you the info from the package:

This is what the front of the package says:
Oscar Mayer Smoked Uncured Beef Franks
No Nitrate or Nitrite Added
Natural

From the back of the package:

Nutrition Facts:
Serving Size 1 link
Servings per Container 6

Calories: 160
Total Fat 14g
Saturated Fat 6g
Trans Fat 0.5 g
Cholesterol: 35mg
Sodium 440 mg
Total Carbohydrate 1g
Dietary Fiber 0g
Sugars <1g
Protein 7g

Ingredients: Beef, Water, Contains Less Than 2% of Sea Salt, Potassium Lactate (From Corn), Evaporated Cane Juice, Celery Powder, Flavor, Lactic Acid Starter Culture.

I only eat these very occasionally. There's a lot of sodium, and there is the Evaporated Cane Juice... I'm assuming that's where the <1g of sugar comes from. There's also that Potassium Lactate. Have no idea what in the heck that is, but I'm not crazy about the idea that it comes from corn.

So, I occasionally eat these when I need something in a hurry. I think they taste really, really good and they are quite juicy. I wish they were totally sugar free. I found them at Walmart and paid about $3.00 for a package of six.

Has anybody else had these?

I don't know about the hotdogs, but Valleydale also has bacon without sugar, although it does have nitrates.

You're welcome!

I think the sugar comes from the Evaporated Cane Juice (I live in Louisiana... we grow a lot of sugar cane in this state and I think that is what they are referring to). It doesn't sound like there's much in it, but I don't understand why something that is uncured needs to have any sugar at all.
And, I don't know what in the world the Potassium Lactate from corn is . They do taste so much better than regular hot dogs, to me. Hopefully you can find them eventually; they are a good occasional treat.
