Showing the top 50 of the 1,123 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, last checked 2026-09-18.

Checking this because you’re trying to lose fat?

Scan your own shop with FoodSussed: calories and macros from the barcode, plus an estimated processing level from 1 to 4 with the reasons. Or start with the fat-loss guide built around Irish food.

What the sausages & bacon numbers show

Median across all 1,123 of them is 6.1g of protein per 100 calories. 209 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in five, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 45 to 667 per 100g inside this one group, a 15-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 7.2g of protein per 100 calories across 403 products, against 5.8g for the 720 name-brand ones.

The chains are not equal on this: Aldi runs a median of 8.7g of protein per 100 calories across its 28 own-label sausages & bacon products, Lidl 6.5g across 198.

What to actually pick

On the numbers the pick is Brennan’s Smoked Turkey Rashers: 23.5g of protein per 100 calories, 3.9 times the 6.1g median for the group.

48 of the 1,123 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: Aldi Sausages & Bacon covers 28 products, and everything else Aldi 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 calorie app.

FAQ

How many sausages & bacon products are in this database?

We track 1,123 sausages & bacon products across Irish supermarkets and brands. 1,123 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 6.1g per 100 calories and 209 products clear 10g — that tells you whether sausages & bacon is worth buying for protein at all, which protein per 100g does not.
