Hormel Original Real Crumbled Bacon Bits - 4.3oz

Quality went from stellar 2 horrid. Been buying it 4 years & it had a rare piece of fat N it. Bags R now 1/2 fat pieces. Hormel replies 2 complaints but has done nothing 2 remedy n over a year.

Can this product be used in an egg baked casserole?

Like most foods in America it's crap! Use to be a quality product! Now it's imitation bacon with some big hard pieces that can crack your teeth! I want my money back. And you get less and now pay twice as much? You no longer have integrity Hormel from going from quality to crap and charging more for it! I will no longer buy this product. So disappointing!

There was so much fat in the bacon crumbles. Couldn’t even eat. Terrible product.

I bought a bag of your real crumbled bacon five pounds. The bits in the bags the cooked and they are a nice size. But on the 20 oz bag it says, "5 lbs of uncooked bacon." So, what's the story...

Your Hormel Real Bacon Bits is a very great product. It's delicious and for me, it has health benefits. It stops skin problems and makes my skin look radiant. I rarely eat it, but when I do, I really love it! Thanks for making this outstanding product! I sprinkle it on cooked Angel Hair Pasta, and it tastes very good, like this. It goes great on eggs, omelettes and on top of salads, as well. It can also be sprinkled on top of cheese burgers, sandwiches, and mixed into meatloaf, before cooking it. Thanks again for this great product!! Love it!!

These are yummy! Love in salads, baked potatoes, etc. I would recommend!

I use it on baked potatoes, Mac & cheese, omelets and salads.

Love taste, but this time the bacon was mostly the same size as the bits instead of pieces size that I bought

I don't know where the reviewers are getting theirs but all mine is a good mix of 5/16" to smaller pcs. Problem I have is poor packaging QC. Zipper tie bond to bag FAILS And can't read EST # Pictures

I used to love this product, but now the bits have turned into big chunks!! I end up throwing half a bottle out! The processing of this product has drastically changed for the worst!!

I have bought this product many times but the last two times had very little chunks of bacon and was just bacon dust.

Over the last few months, it has become obvious the quality of the bacon had gone seriously downhill. I used to be excited to open a new bag to taste and smell the fresh bacon, but now when I open a bag it's just full of fat chunks, with minimal meat. Something has seriously changed in the quality of the bacon recently. This has occurred with multiple bags. Please fix this, we consumers have noticed!

This is no longer the usual, consistent product it used to be. Over the last 2 years or so, the bits are now chunks, what was almost entirely meat is now 20% fat, and it is not dried.

For years these have been my favorite! Over the last year the quality has been declining. I opened a new bag today and it sounded like rocks as I shook the contents into a pan! These pieces are so big and hard I could break a tooth. Inedible. What has happened Hormel?

I was all ready to but the 20oz. Pkg of these bacon bits...I always look at reviews prior to buying for guidelines! WOW! Looks like Loyal many year customers from all over the country are appalled with the quality they has come to rely on. Will check elsewhere! Get it together Hormel. Product quality & consistency are King.

My mother and I have both bought Hormel Bacon Bits for years and years. They have always, unfailingly, been the best on the market... until recently. The last bag we bought was just full of fat and grease, completely inedible. Next we tried the Hormel Bacon Bits jar from a different grocery thinking maybe our usual store just got a bad batch but they were worse but in a different way. They have no fat, no softness and are so dark and hard that we were afraid the bacon bits might break someone's teeth! I am disappointed and distressed to have wasted my money.

I have used Hormel's bacon bits for many years. They were seriously the best quality and the meatiest bits until the last few months. Lately, every package has a large quantity of fat, which was never the case before. In fact, they have become low quality bacon bits, comparable to that of Oscar Meyer. I understand that the cost of everything is higher now due to inflation, but unfortunately it appears that Hormel has decided to cut company costs by sacrificing the quality of it's product.

What has happened?? I have counted on these Bacon Bits as the only ones I will buy for many,many years. I just bought 2 of them as I had some salad cravings. Upon opening one no "bits" would shake out. Forcefully shaking the bag onto a plate I could not believe my eyes. Huge "globs" of very fatty lumps of bacon which you can clearly see all the white fat. The interior of the bag was covered with fat and you could not even remove the bacon on the bottom as they were stuck to the plastic in a layer of fat. These are absolutely not edible. The 2nd bag was more of the same. I've bought them in the same big box store on the same shelf for years without a problem so I didn't even think to inspect them first. No more of that. Shrinkflation and higher prices are one thing but terrible quality is not acceptable. Please make your bacon bits as they once were. Something has changed and I will not continue to buy these.

Much like the other recent reviews, this product went from lean, crispy, flavorful bacon pieces to almost all fatty, gristly, flavorless bits. I will sadly stop buying until recipe changes back.
