3.5 ounces is not 13 slices unless you're eating paper thin bacon. Most packages are 12-16 ounces for that many slices.

Literally going directly off of the nutritional source they cited... Like I said in my comment.
Also, you have to consider that bacon can lose up to something like 75% of its weight during cooking...

You don't eat 3.5oz of bacon in one sitting? Casual. (/s)
To start it uses 3.5 oz (100g) as its serving size, which is (according to its own nutritional source) about 13 slices of bacon... Not exactly a "typical" serving.
On a per slice basis...
Looking at its own source (https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/pork-products/7676/2):
B1 (Thiamin) - 0.0 mg (2%) B2 (Riboflavin) - 0.0 mg (1%) B3 (Niacin) - 0.9 mg (4%) B5 (Pantothenic Acid) - 0.1 mg (1%) B6 - 0.0 mg (1%) B12 - 0.1 mcg (2%)
Selenium - 5 mcg (7%) Phosphorus - 42.6 mg (4%)
So, yes, technically it does contain those vitamins... But, like I said, not exactly in large amounts...
