Bacon: most protein

Which bacon has the most protein per 100 g?

How this ranking is made

1,086 products in the aisle declare protein; 1,075 are ranked, leaving out 1 placeholders with near-zero energy; 3 records above 62.5 g per 100 g (1.25 times the aisle's 99th percentile; a name or brand built on protein, such as protein, skyr or ultra-filtered, is exempt) or whose label declares more protein, fat and carbohydrate than its calories can hold; 7 named by the publisher's review (below) (each rule). Values are per 100 g as each manufacturer submitted them to USDA, one product per UPC (its newest submission that meets the data contract), and one per product sold under several UPCs with the same label. The top 100 are shown; each was read again from USDA's live record at this release, and USDA's corrections are applied.

Ceiling: for products named "turkey", values above 44.0 g per 100 g are left out (Bacon, turkey, microwaved (FDC 171639): 29.5 g protein per 100 g; the ceiling is 1.5 times it); values above 51.1 g per 100 g are left out (Pork, cured, bacon, cooked, restaurant (FDC 749420): 40.9 g protein per 100 g, the highest of USDA's cooked bacons; 1.25 times it).
