I love this bacon. It's the real thing. The mess is contained in the packaging. It's come out perfectly for me every time I've used it. I prefer it to the already cooked variety.
Salty!

What happened? This used to be the best medium cost prepackaged bacon, but wow it is so salty now. Cooked up like country ham slices and left the skillet coated in salt.

First two pieces of bacon for packaging was great then the rest was all fat and no meat at all. I was not pleased at all. Just wasted on food our family can't eat...

I found it impossible to cook it without burning it or undercooking it - usually both. The centers would be blackened and the ends raw. I tried various power levels, timing, etc and nothing worked well.

This used to be some of the best bacon to buy. I don't know what happened but this is the last for me. Paper thin and mainly fat. So salty it's inedible.

Taste is pretty good but the thick cut bacon is a joke. You could read a newspaper through it. If you want regular sliced bacon, great, if you want thick cut, keep shopping.

I bought Hormel Bacon because I thought it was a well known brand with high quality standards. When cooking most of it had to be thrown out. From reading all the one and two star reviews I would think you would run to the processing plant and see what was going on and what changed. I will avoid your brand until I know the quality has returned.

I have used this bacon for last few years because my stove does not work. It use to be really good bacon but lately it's not cooking right. It's seems super fatty and it lays on top of each other where it does not cook. Bacon is really expensive to have to throw out.

I used to buy this weekly and it was always good. As of late, the last few boxes I have purchased have been utter rubbish. The bacon is mostly just fat and tastes extremely greasy and terrible and the cooking results are very hit or miss, sometimes 2 1/2 minutes leaves everything underdone and sometimes it practically crisps the bacon and overcooks it. I'm sure, like every other company on the planet, they have cheapened the product and cut costs on everything and it shows. I expected much better from an established name in the food industry. Unless they're going to prove a redo of this product, I won't be buying again.

I've bought this twice in the last month. The 2 middle pieces don't cook while the outside pieces burn up. It smells weird. Honestly, like a straight pig. I had to throw all of it away. I wasted almost $20.00

First if all, there is nothing remotely bad about Hormel bacon. Except when my store is out of it. That's it. The only negative. It cooks fast. It tastes awesome. Everyone in this house loves it. And should a random piece find it's way to the floor? Our dog, Bob Barker agrees - Hormel Black Label bacon is the best.
I will t buy again

I've been buying this for about 4 years. This last package of original was almost all fat and thick. You never know what it's going to be like. Each package is different. Some thicker and some mostly fat. We liked the taste of it and price but I may have to go back to another brand. I just tried to do the little smokie wraps and this package of bacon was horrible.

4 times in 5, the plastic bag pops I've tried folding the ends under... helped once (and that might not have popped anyway I like your product, and it's amazing when the hot air steams the bacon. When it pops, half the time it's just not worth the extra price

The bacon in the package looked great but when it came time to cook it would not separate, was stringing, too much fat, and stuck to the pan. The cheap off brand is much better.

Pleasantly surprised by this microwave bacon. It’s delicious and it actually gets crispy if you put it in the microwave a little longer and the bacon doesn’t make a greasy mess like on the stove or in the oven perfect for an easy clean up
