Is there a low sodium bacon?
Not among these 72. None has 42 mg of sodium or less in 15 g. That is the federal line for the words “low sodium”: 140 mg in 50 g, because the rules test a food with a small serving on 50 g.
No bacon here comes near the line: the lowest has 115 mg in 15 g, and most bacon has 150 to 360 mg in a serving, 7% to 16% of the Daily Value.
Low sodium bacon brands
No brand has a bacon at the low sodium level here. The lowest of each brand:
- Shoprite Hardwood-smoked Lower Sodium Sliced Bacon 130mg per 17 g · 115 mg in 15 g
- Hy-Vee Maple Flavored Hardwood Smoked Thick Sliced Bacon 130mg per 15 g · 130 mg in 15 g
- Aldi Turkey Bacon 140mg per 1 serving (15 g) · 140 mg in 15 g
- Jennie-O Turkey Bacon 140mg per 1 slice (15 g) · 140 mg in 15 g
- Oscar Mayer Original Turkey Bacon 140mg per 1 slice (15 g) · 140 mg in 15 g
Lowest sodium bacon by kind of meat
The lowest bacon of each kind of meat, least sodium first. None of them reaches the low sodium level.
- Pork: Shoprite Hardwood-smoked Lower Sodium Sliced Bacon 130mg per 17 g · 115 mg in 15 g
- Turkey: Aldi Turkey Bacon 140mg per 1 serving (15 g) · 140 mg in 15 g
- Beef: Godshall's Beef Bacon Cured Beef Plates 230mg per 11 g · 314 mg in 15 g
No salt added bacon
2 bacons here carry “no salt added”, “unsalted” or “low sodium” in the name:
- Butterball Thin & Crispy Low Sodium Turkey Bacon 105mg per 2 slices (18 g) · 87 mg in 15 g · older package
- Ralphs Low Sodium Bacon, Hardwood Smoked 160mg per 15 g · 160 mg in 15 g · older package
“No salt added” and “unsalted” mean that no salt goes in while the food is made, on a food that is normally made with salt. Neither means no sodium: the other ingredients have sodium of their own. When the food is not sodium free, the package has to say “not a sodium free food” or “not for control of sodium in the diet” next to the Nutrition Facts.
Salt free bacon
“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. No bacon here is that low.

Questions about low sodium bacon
What is a low sodium bacon?
A bacon with 42 mg or less of sodium in 15 g, the amount federal labeling rules use to compare bacons. That is 140 mg in 50 g: the rules test a food with a small serving on 50 g, and that is the line for the words “low sodium” on a package. “Very low sodium” is 10 mg or less in 15 g and “sodium free” is under 5 mg.
Is there a sodium free or no sodium bacon?
No. “Sodium free” and “no sodium” on a package both mean under 5 mg in 15 g and in the package's own serving. The lowest bacon here has 30 mg in a serving, on an older package.
Is there a reduced sodium bacon?
37 of the bacons here carry “reduced sodium”, “less sodium” or “lower sodium” in the name. On a package those words mean at least 25 percent less sodium than the regular food it is compared with, so a reduced sodium bacon can still be above the low sodium line.

How to read the numbers
Sodium in one serving, from the package's Nutrition Facts. The serving is next to it.
% Daily Value is that serving's share of 2,300 mg, the Daily Value for sodium on US packages.
In 15 g: every package on the same amount, so a small serving and a large one line up.
Level: a green tag means the number in 15 g meets a federal level: low sodium (42 mg or less, which is 140 mg in 50 g), very low sodium (10 mg or less) or sodium free (under 5 mg). The package may not print those words.
Nutrition opens the rest of one serving's Nutrition Facts and the ingredient list. More nutrition puts those numbers in the list, to order by any of them.
Filters narrow the list by store, brand, the words on the label and ingredients. An ingredient filter also leaves out products that give no ingredient list.
2024 or newer: the list opens with packages from 2024 or later. Untick the box to add older ones; some may have changed or left the shelf.
These are package numbers, not advice. How much sodium is right for you is for your doctor or dietitian to say.
