What was originally founded as a traveling food stand, 'The Bacon Snack Factory' is a new online retailer of vegan bacon snack products. These vegan snacks are pre-cooked and packaged in clear bags that make them look like bacon potato chips. The base ingredients for the bacon snacks are wheat, almond, and corn. They are seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, giving them an array of specific flavors.
These bacon snacks are available from the factory's website in 'BBQ,' 'Hot & Spicy,' 'Smoky,' and regular bacon flavors. The retail price for one 3.6 oz bag is $4.99 and the products are also available in three-packs for $13.95 or a 10 pack of snack-sized 1 oz bags for $15.95.
On top of being vegan, flavor-packed, and pre-cooked for instant enjoyment, these bacon snacks are also low in calories, low in carbohydrates, sugar-free, and keto-friendly.
