We used to love this bacon and the convenience of preparation. The packaging changed. There is only one plastic bag instead of two. Same amount of bacon, but the one we opened today had black marks throughout the meat and it wasn't black from the pre cooking process. Threw it away and looking for an alternative product.

Too much water added to product.

It's very disappointing just how much water you add to the product just to increase the weight during processing. Good bacon should have minimal water added. You can do better…the consumer watches!

I have been buying this bacon for couple years and have never had an issue until now. Great taste & love the fast, easy cleaning The most recent box was in the freezer since I purchased it a month ago. In the microwave the bag split open & the funky, rancid smell was very bad. We could not eat it. Tried another package &/ it was the same. Again, could not eat. I'm terribly disappointed as this has been our go-to bacon for so many recipes in the past.

I have been buying this microwave bacon for years. I love the convenience, however, in the last 8 months or so, some of the packets contain strips that seem thinner than before so the 'normal' cook time is off and it shrivels to nothing. I might not mind if the weight were consistent and I could adjust the time, but I never know what I'm going to get. This is a new problem and surely I'm not the only one complaining. Please go back to the bacon strips I know and loved!

This was the 3rd time I'd bought this product and I'd loved the convenience. but the last packet of my latest purchase has blue mold growing on it! It's been refrigerated since opening the box, this packet was sealed, and the expiration date is still a month away! I'd be afraid to purchase this again.

I use several versions of Hormel Bacon starting with BLT, bacon omelets, bacon tacos, bacon wrapped around scallops, bacon in salads.
The last package we bought was a big turn-off.

We've purchased Black Label bacon regularly as a pantry staple (as often as one buys bacon). But the last package seemed like mystery meat. It was a weird pale orange and white color. The smell was off - more like oily wax paper than bacon, and microwaving made the kitchen smell bad. Disposed of it, unfortunately.

We love the convenience of the MV bacon. However, it seems that the bacon strips are thinner than before.This results in each slice touching in the packages we have purchased recently. When we remove from MV the pieces are partially cooked together. The bacon still tastes great (A+) but has gone from A+ to C In being easy to use and packaging.

This is so easy to use and very good. Love the flavor and the crispness of the bacon. As a person who loves well cooked bacon, this is the best microwave bacon. Just hard to find in stores.
I would keep it in stock if I could find itcwhere I live!

Last 4 packages have been dumped due to the yellowing of the bacon. I have cooked on the stove top and the microwave to check to consistency. The appearance is not aesthetically appealing. Taste fatty. I am very disappointed.

I have always loved Hormel Black Label bacon, but the slices in my latest purchase were tissue thin, and shredded when I tried to separate them. Couldn't cook them without burning,
