Something is wrong with this bacon

Submitted 9 days ago

By sbs1082

From maine

It is really salty like other reviewers said and it isn't cut right. Pieces are falling apart. Thick cut bacon shouldn't be falling apart when you are separating slices. Very disappointed. I'm not sure what has happened to the quality of this product.

Response from Hormel Foods

sbs1082, I am going to send you a email to gather the information needed to get this reported. The email will come from CResponse@hormel.com and you will be able to reply and attach pictures.

I don't write many reviews but when I do it's legit. This was so salty that my whole meal was ruined. It burnt my mouth and throat and my wife said the same. Never even tasted the bacon. I will go back to a different brand. Not to mention the fact that it will kill your kidneys.

Disappointed

As expensive as this bacon is now when it's labeled thick cut it should be thick cut. I had pieces so thin they ripped right apart into pieces. I won't be buying this brand again!

Good afternoon, I've been a long-time consumer of Hormel products. Every year at Christmas and Thanksgiving we cook 2+ Hormel Cure 81 Hams. They are the best hams on the market. We also only use Black Label bacon. We buy a considerable amount of the thick uncooked bacon for meals. We also utilize the Black Label fully cooked bacon for sandwiches, etc. During one of our recent family breakfast get togethers, I cooked 2 40 OZ packages of the Hornel Black Label Thick Cut Bacon. I was very disappointed with the quality of the bacon in these 2 packages. Every slice of the bacon in each package looked like 2/3 of a slice. The middle section of each slice was basically non-existent. This was the first time we had ever experienced this type of issue with your product. We purchased these products at one of our local Homeland Stores. What can be done about this issue? Thanks in advance for your help

I bought the black label thick cut bacon. It was definitely NOT thick cut. This was the smallest flimsy bacon ever. I was very disappointed in this product.

The package stating it is "thick cut" is definitely misleading and false advertising. Not sure if someone cut it wrong or was mislabeled, but the slices could not be any thinner...you can hardly take out of package without the slices tearing. We always buy the thick cut and have bought Hormel before. But, we will not be buying this again. On a positive note, the flavor is okay and does not shrink much.

Stop miss labeling your product. This is not thick cut! If you made a product that actually was what the label says I'd pay more and buy it. Stop changing the definition of THICK!

So salty it HURTS

We've tested this twice now, never again hours of indigestion and literally hurts the mouth and all the way down. Does not cook right and just is plain out AWFUL. You could stick this outside as a salt lick to hunt deer. Never ever buying another Hormel product after this. Now to go leave a stellar review for the Pepcid I had to take 🤣

Not sure if this is even real meat! Doesn't look or taste right. Supposed to be thick cut but it's see through thin & smaller than my finger (I hope I can upload pics).
