Hormel Black Label Thick Cut Bacon Slices - 16oz

This is some of the thinnest bacon I've ever got. Why would you guys claim thick?

Haven't tried in a while. Quite salty but otherwise is it smoked? Does it have any other flavor? No doesn't taste like it. Not fully thick cut. There were 3-4 pieces that were very thin (thinner than thin cut). Not a good value or pleasing taste.

I usually fry it in a pan on low flipping each piece every 50-60 seconds and cooking for about 5 minutes each piece. Sometimes, I bake it on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil on 400 for about 16 minutes. It always has a robust flavor and turns out slightly crisp without being too crunchy.

I bought a bunch of this bacon for a family gathering and I was so disappointed when I open the packages to cook up breakfast. I would say out of each pack of bacon there was enough meet to equal 1 normal piece of bacon. Each strip was probably 90% fat.

Bacon was no more thick cut than any regular bacon and was extremely difficult to separate individual slices from the stack. Not one slice separated in one entire strip, the fat was breaking away from the lean meat and it resulted in a mess of broken pieces. Extremely disappointed with the end result. I normally cook my bacon on a rack in shallow pan and this product was too thin and fragile to lay on the rack so was cooked in a skillet where it shrunk to 1/3 its original size. Do Not buy this product if you are expecting thick bacon slices because this definitely is NOT !

I would not recommend...bought the thick cut bacon and it was the same thickness as regular...all I tasted was salt .. terrible

Was looking forward to having some good bacon but was very disappointed. It was flavorless and didn't cook up like bacon normally. Does. I even questioned if it was really bacon. I'm considering taking it back to the store and getting my money back. That's how disappointing it was.

This brand has gone so far down hill recently. Used to be my go to bacon brand. But shrinkflation has hit them too. It's the thinnest bacon I've ever seen. As thin as paper. Total ripoff. It's translucent

This used to be the choice bacon in our family. Recently the quality has drastically declined. The bacon cooks horribly because it's mainly just fat. The taste isn't very good either. Will be switching to a different brand.

All I wanted to do is make a sandwich I opened up the package went to peel it apart and it like it just broke up in the little pieces. I reached out to the company told him I had pictures. It's like it went through a shredder.. of course no response. We just take your money we don't care. I'd rather pay five dollars more and get a decent piece of bacon. It doesn't break apart while you're trying to peel from the other pieces and come up with maybe a 3 inch piece of bacon with little bits of pieces all over the pan because like I said, it just isn't a salad piece of bacon. I wouldn't buy it again. I wouldn't recommend it but it does taste good that's about it though.

My husband and I usually enjoy a pack of Hormel Black Label Thick Cut original about 5 times a month. We have about six packs in the freezer right now. We took two packs with us on vacation last week and couldn't wait for our family members to try. What a huge disappointment! In the first pack, all of the bacon had been cut cross-ways about 2 inches down; and the second pack was so salty, no one wanted to finish theirs. I just kept apologizing because in 4 years, we had never experienced a bad pack and this was 2 packs in a row! I haven't cooked any more since we got home. I'm writing this review here because I couldn't find an email. I had never looked at reviews before, but it seems that I'm not the only one with a complaint. Please do better with quality control! I would hate to have to stop purchasing your product!

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.

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.

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

Found a piece of metal in the bacon! small enough we could of ate it by mistake.....

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!

Fake smell gross low quality item at mid price point
