Olymel Smoked Maple-Flavoured Bacon

The title says maple. The ingredient list does not.

Olymel sells this as naturally smoked maple-flavoured bacon, 375 grams. The printed ingredients are pork, water, salt, sugar, and smoke. Maple flavour is not named. The company, inside Sollio Cooperative Group, says its products are raised and prepared in Canada, and bacon lines in the 2024 report are in Cornwall, Ontario.

Shelf life is 73 days at 4 degrees. Keep it refrigerated. No priority allergen is declared, and the page marks it gluten free.

That gap between the name and the list is the thing to check on the pack in your hand.
