McCormick Imperial Imitation Bacon Bits 1.9 KG for Canadian Food Service
A 1.9 kg jar of meat-free, bacon-flavoured bits, made in Canada and shipped from Calgary to any province or territory. Use them on salad bars, loaded baked potatoes, savoury baking, and pizza. Vegetarian-friendly. Contains soy.
You get the smoky, salty bite of bacon without the pan, the draining, or the chopping. The 1.9 kg format is what most kitchens reach for on salad bars and buffet lines because the pieces are uniform and the flavour holds up under a heat lamp. Switching from cooked bacon to these bits can save a cook 20 to 30 minutes of prep on a busy service.
McCormick Imperial Bacon Bits Imitation 1.9 kg / 4.19 lb, Canadian-made for food service
A shelf-stable, meat-free bacon substitute that skips the fryer entirely. Pieces are uniform, the smoke flavour runs consistent case to case, and the jar format means you scoop and go. On a salad bar or baked potato station, it gives your vegetarian customers something they actually want to put on their plate.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.
"I've watched kitchens shave real prep time off service with these. One Calgary catering client runs baked potato bars for 300+ covers and the bits hold their crunch through a four-hour window without constant refills. The 1.9 kg format means you're not breaking open a new jar mid-service, which matters when you're down a cook. Solid, predictable product."
If you're running a fast-casual spot, a school cafeteria, or a banquet hall, you need pantry items that don't fight you. These are Canadian-made, so the supply chain is steady and the spec sheets don't surprise you. Skip the raw pork handling, the grease disposal, the labour. Spoon these on and move on.

Quality and specifications
Smoky, salty, crunchy, and consistent piece to piece, which is the actually matters on a salad bar where every plate should look the same. The 1.9 kg / 4.19 lb jar is the workhorse size for most Canadian kitchens. Canadian-made, shelf-stable, zero prep.
Professional applications
Where we see it used most: Caesar and Cobb salad bars, baked potato stations, and as a pizza topping. Bakeries fold it into savoury scones, breads, and maple-bacon donuts. It also works as a finishing sprinkle on clam chowder or a loaded baked potato soup. Anywhere you'd reach for cooked bacon bits, these drop in.
Storage and handling
Cool, dry, lid sealed. That's it. Do not refrigerate. These are shelf-stable, and the fridge introduces moisture that kills the crunch. Keep the bulk jar away from the steam table and out of any damp corner of the dry store.
Canadian sourcing
Made in Canada, which means the spec matches what Canadian food safety expects and the lead time isn't tied to a container ship. We stock it at our Calgary warehouse and ship to all 10 provinces and 3 territories, typically 2 to 5 business days.
