About BACON BITS
Bacon bits are small pieces or granules described as bacon. The name may refer to pieces of cooked bacon or to a formulated bacon-style product, and this record does not establish which type or what ingredients a formulation contains.
They are used as toppings or mixed into prepared foods to add a savoury, bacon-like flavour and small textured pieces. Colour, crispness, size, and flavour vary with the product and processing; the label does not specify whether they are refrigerated, shelf-stable, or made from a particular meat.
