Jamestown Brand Bacon

Jamestown Brand is a specific line of pork products, most recognized for its sliced hardwood-smoked bacon. It is positioned as a value-oriented brand within the extensive portfolio of Smithfield Foods. The brand's name and identity are closely tied to the historical region of Jamestown, Virginia, which is near the corporate headquarters and original roots of the Smithfield company.

While the brand is deeply connected to Virginia through its parent company, the manufacturing of Jamestown bacon occurs at various Smithfield processing facilities across the United States, including major operations in North Carolina. The product is frequently distributed through major retail chains such as Walmart, Food Lion, and Piggly Wiggly, primarily catering to the North American market.

In terms of ownership, Jamestown is a subsidiary brand of Smithfield Foods, Inc. Following a significant acquisition in 2013, Smithfield Foods—and consequently the Jamestown brand—is owned by the WH Group (formerly known as Shuanghui International Holdings). The WH Group is a publicly traded multinational company headquartered in Hong Kong and is recognized as the largest pork producer in the world.
