Keto Processed Meat

We ran 1,962 processed meat through our keto rules: 24 pass, 8 need a label check, and 420 don't make it.

Meat itself is zero carb, so this aisle passes more than any other. What fails is the processing: honey glazes, sugar cures and rusk fillers in cheaper sausages. When a product misses here, added sugar or breadcrumb is almost always the reason.
