Q: Is this pork bacon? If so, why is it not specified anywhere on the packaging, including the ingredients?
submitted by Betty - 2 months ago
A: Good Morning Betty, this is pork bacon. It does not specify on the package because pork is the standard identity of bacon, so it is not required to be listed.

No matter how long it "cooks" in the microwave, it comes out raw!!! Thought the first box was a fluke, now the second box is also in the trash. Waste of money!!!

I keep trying and trying and buying and buying but I'm done now. The bacon is never done!! It's so raw, even after adding extra time. One thing is the bag pops before the cooking is completed, and I mean this is every time!

For the past eight years, I have ONLY bought this bacon, and would even pay more for it because of the quality, esp when compared to other brands. I love to make BLT's and the taste and texture were always top grade and very close to what I've had in some of the best restaurants. NOT anymore! This is worse than any brand I've ever tasted. Too salty, crumbles at the touch of it, has this very orange looking color once it's cooked, and honestly just tastes artificial! Do better Hormel! We are all saying the same thing, and you know whatever you did to your product is when we all started complaining!

This bacon and the convenience of cooking it has made my life so much easier! I am disabled and can't cook the way I used to. So, to be able to pop a package in the microwave and know that in 2 1/2 minutes I'll have perfectly cooked bacon is truly a great help. The bacon almost always cooks exactly to my liking. Not too crunchy and not too floppy. If it ever doesn't crisp up enough I just take it out of the package, place it on a paper towel and cook it for another few seconds. My 2nd favorite thing about this product is that clean up is a breeze! No excess bacon grease to dispose of and no pan to wash.
Will probably buy again

I use this product A LOT and I am usually pleased with the product. The last few packages that I have purshased have been less than gratifying. Not sure how it can be so different from one to the other. This is a picture of last purchase.

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
arma - 2 months ago
Be aware, this is NOT PRECOOKED. It is raw bacon. I thought it was the precooked bacon that you nuke just to warm it. Instead it comes raw in a plastic pouch. It does not cook evenly, so some areas are burnt while others are half raw. If I wanted raw bacon, I could have gotten a whole pound for less than this product. I requested a refund and do not recommend this product.
I would not buy this again!

I followed the directions, the inside slices were still raw. As someone who is disabled cooking regular bacon is a challenge so I thought this would be a good option but no. I will just go back to regular bacon. So disappointed!

Petunia, I am sorry you had this experience; I am going to send you an email to gather the information needed to get this reported and send you out coupons. The email will come from CResponse@hormel.com and you will be able to reply and attach pictures.

I bought this for the first time. I followed the directions on the package, after the timer went off the outside slices were cooked ok but the 2 interior slices were still not cooked , I finished cooking them in a skillet. I don't know if I would buy this again.

I have bought a lot of products from hormel to include, chili and lunchmeat and microwave bacon. I've noticed a decline of the quality of the bacon product. The bacon is predominantly FAT. You cannot cook the bacon without first trimming the vast majority of the 12 ounce package. Why, why why and who do I speak with for a refund?

Hi Chrisrm1, we apologize for your experience! Just sent out an email to you directly to grab more info.

When I first tried this product it was good and cooked well. the last few times I have used it the slices were almost all fat, even looked like scraps. in some packages a couple of pieces were good, the other 2 were full of fat and the package wouldn't cook right. I ended up cooking the pieces separately. the prices went up and the quality went down. won't buy it again.

Only 1 out of the 4 packets cooked evenly and were edible. The other 3 packages popped open during cooking and the 2 inner pieces cooked and the outer 2 pieces were not cooked. In order to cook the outer pieces, the inner pieces were burned. I threw 3 packets in the garbage. This product was a waste of money.

I used to love this brand! The last two boxes I bought had bags that would pop in the middle of cooking—I tossed one box because I was afraid the bags had been opened. But the box I have now had my first bag pop at the 50% done mark plus the size of the bacon was half of what it used to be. What happened??

I purchase this product regularly and for the most part enjoy it. Please fix the bags. They pop early in the cooking process. It affects the quality of the bacon and makes a mess of my microwave

Trying to pan fry bacon strips. Could hardly separate and when I did it stretched into horrible pieces. Bacon was hard to cook because of its stretched, ripped, extremely thin condition. What happened to the quality of your bacon. You need to change the label from "black label" which gives the impression of good quality.

Good Afternoon BaconLover, we have reached out to you directly to get more information! We would like to report this quality issue.

This product is perfect for myself. I use it often, but lately the bag has been popping before the bacon finishes cooking. This does change the outcome of the bacon. It's overcooked when this happens. Just check the quality of the bags.
