Bacon fat beats seed oils, but cure #1 kills the ancestral glow.

The Take

Extrawurst earns a 58 Slop Score. Real beef, pork, and bacon fat get smoked then emulsified with water, salt, and nitrite for that classic slice.

It signals old-world meat tradition without the ultra-processed seed-oil sludge, but the factory cure and bloat keep it mid at best.

The Verdict

Extrawurst sits in the processed middle: better than industrial goyslop but far from ancestral fuel. The bacon fat delivers flavor the water and cure dilute.

Skip the tube. Buy grass-fed ground beef — one ingredient, cook it yourself. Slop Score: 58.
