Showing the top 50 of the 836 sausages & bacon products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs.
What the sausages & bacon numbers show
836 of the 837 sausages & bacon products carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the floor below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number. Across those the median is 5.3g of protein per 100 calories. 116 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in seven, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.
Calories run from 48 to 541 per 100g inside this one group, an 11-fold spread, so “sausages & bacon” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.
Own-brand is not the compromise here. The supermarket own-label median is 6.5g of protein per 100 calories across 348 products, against 4.8g for the 488 name-brand ones.
The chains are not equal on this: SuperValu runs a median of 8.3g of protein per 100 calories across its 34 own-label sausages & bacon products, Lidl 6.2g across 207.
What to actually pick
On the numbers the pick is Centra 6 Unsmoked Turkey Rashers 150g: 22.4g of protein per 100 calories, 4.2 times the 5.3g median for the group.
95 of the 836 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.
Where this fits
That chain-by-chain gap is why the biggest ranges get their own page: SuperValu Sausages & Bacon covers 34 products, and everything else SuperValu sells sits alongside it.
A protein-per-calorie number is only useful once you know the target, and that is how much protein a day actually works out to.
For one specific product rather than the whole group, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are built into the free calorie tracker.

FAQ
How many sausages & bacon products are in this database?
We track 837 sausages & bacon products across Irish supermarkets and brands. 836 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the point below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here.
What's the most protein-dense sausages & bacon product?
The table is sorted highest protein per 100 calories first, so the answer is the top row. The more useful number is that the median for the whole group is 5.3g per 100 calories and 116 products clear 10g — that tells you whether sausages & bacon is worth buying for protein at all, which protein per 100g does not.
