What’s in Bacon Up?
And what happened to the bacon?!
Bacon Up is authentic bacon grease, captured as our supplier makes bacon bits and pre-cooked bacon for their other customers. Nothing goes to waste! They triple-filter it and add a small amount of BHA – an antioxidant that protects the flavor.
Bacon Up contains:
- NO gluten
- NO dairy
- NO carbs
- NO peanuts
- NO MSG
A serving (one tablespoon)
has 0g Trans Fat, 0mg Sodium,
and 0g Carbohydrates
Bacon Up is NOT Hydrogenated.

Although Bacon Up contains only two ingredients – bacon fat and BHA – we also list on our ingredient statement the list of ingredients that the bacon MAY have been cured in. Because our supplier prepares bacon with different cures for different bacon products, we list them ALL, just to be on the safe side.
Many people notice – and wonder why! – the Ingredient Statement says the bacon itself may have been cured with sea salt or brown sugar, for instance, and yet our FDA-approved Nutrition Facts panel indicates Bacon Up has Zero mg of Sodium and Zero g of Carbohydrates per serving. Note that only trace amounts of sodium, carbs, etc. cook out of the bacon and end up in the grease. In a one-tablespoon serving, it is less than the amount required to be reported.
