Bacon.

We live in a world that is obsessed with it. Its smoky and salty flavor combined with a satisfying crunch can be addicting, it’s no surprise why it has a cult-like following.

Living vegan doesn’t mean you have to give up the taste-tingling flavor you love; there are tons of plant-based alternatives.

Because bacon doesn’t have to, and shouldn’t, come from an animal.

Shopping Guide

It used to be that you could only find vegan products in select all-natural grocery stores, but that’s no longer the case. There are a variety of flavors, styles, and brands widely available. Let’s take a closer look.

Vegan Bacon Brands

You’ll spot these vegan brands alongside other plant-based meats in the refrigerated section, often near the tofu.
