Bacon has no life after opening package. Within 3 days of opening, the bacon had soured in the fridge. BLT on Sunday and couldn't eat on Tuesday for breakfast. This has happened twice.

Thank you for sharing your review. Bacon can last for up to one week in the fridge after opening as long as it's kept at 40 degrees or less. You can also freeze bacon, but for best quality, try not to freeze it for longer than four months.

This is the worst bacon I've ever had!! The pieces did NOT come apart easily and I had to throw some of it away. Also, way too much Fat in proportion to meat. I'll Never by this again. I thought Smithfield was a good brand until now.🫤

Thank you for sharing your review. Our bacon should have whole, even slices, and while it will have fat, it shouldn't be excessively fatty. We hope you'll give us another try, as this package is not typical for our product.

I cooked it up for supper tonight and it was the worst bacon I have ever tasted. No one in my family would eat it and my family are bacon lovers. It literally tasted like I was eating paper no flavor at all
1 reply from Consumer Affairs team - 1 month ago
Thank you for sharing your review. We take pride in naturally smoking our bacon to infuse it with a rich flavor, so it should never taste like paper. We're really sorry about your experience and hope you'll give our bacon another chance.
Too salty and tough

We love bacon - 5 months ago

My husband and I are on a quest to find the best bacon. Sorry to say this ranks at the bottom of the list. We’ve given it a try a few times. I cooked it this morning, side-by-side with a competitor’s brand. Unfortunately the results were not positive. Smithfield took longer to cook. It was way too salty. I had a hard time just eating one piece. It was also tough and chewy. I did not tell my husband which was which but commented the same thing.

Thank you for trying out our bacon and for sharing your review. We're really sorry to hear that you didn't have a great experience with it. Our Hometown Original bacon is meant to have a lovely balance of smokiness, sweetness, and saltiness, with a texture that's crispy yet slightly chewy. We'd love for you to give our bacon another chance to win you over!
What happened to my beloved bacon?

I recently purchased some Smithfield bacon and after opening the package it smelled wonderful just like bacon should. However, after cooking the bacon, it is like the bacon lost its flavor. I just don’t understand what happened. How is this even possible. What has changed? Is it possible for you to change it back to the original. I am seriously missing my bacon… I would definitely recommend this product if it went back to tasting like bacon but as long as it stays flavorless I will not continue to waste my money.

I told my wife not to buy this anymore. Well she came home wit some thick cut. 50-60% fat. Once cooked meat was tough as leather the fat was like rubber. Made me sick. Never again will I have your old son's and bores in my fridge. Your bacon is disgusting!

Nice cut of meat, cooked perfectly without too much fat, but no flavor. Not salty, not smoky, not worth the cleanup. Maybe it was a bad pack?

I just made bacon for BLTs. The slices fell apart when I tried to put them in the pan and it had ZERO TASTE! The curing process didn’t happen or someone accidentally left the salt 🧂 out! It tastes like nothing.. at…all
Disappointed

Have always loved your bacon, but this last one was in pieces. Hard to cook nice strips like I was used to. I am including the UPC number as maybe it was just one batch. Leary to buy another as we always get delivery and don’t get to look at it ahead of time. UPC is 7080004118
Excellent in all areas!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although my store doesn’t carry Smithfield bacon, I got the pork chops and they are absolutely delicious. I love the bone in taste and plenty of meat. The flavor is great and the meat is perfect to chew; not tough at all. It’s a fair price as well. I’ll be buying this again. Thanks Smithfield and Influenster!
Delicious

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely delicious! I prefer cooking my bacon in the oven on foil to create less mess in the kitchen and this made the best side dish for breakfast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was hard finding this product in the stores and I can tell why. I received a free coupon from influenster to give this product a try. This product when cooked or baked is very delicious and I love how the crispiness came out. Had it with my breakfast and it compliments my food on my plate. I really like this product and hope they stock more in the stores.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel like it’s really difficult for me to enjoy my breakfast if bacon is not included. It’s a staple protein in my breakfast meals and the most delicious of the pork options, in my opinion. The bacon crisps up perfectly and has a great taste
Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Who doesn’t love good bacon?! The strips were a good size, not too thin but not too thick. There was enough fat for flavor, but not too much. So it cooked well with a nice texture 🙂

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love bacon and this is probably one of the best kinds I’ve had! I got the thick cut bacon and it was so yummy. I recommend oven cooking it to get it crispy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t able to get the original bacon, but I did get the applewood smoked, which I felt was better anyways. I love how thick cut the bacon is and I felt it was a good portion in the package.
Crispy and delicious

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t know about you but I LOVE bacon in just about any way possible. I always have bacon in my household, it’s perfect for breakfast lunch and dinner. The uses are endless, some of my favorite dishes with bacon include breakfast burritos, BLTS, and loaded baked potatoes with bacon bits on top. Smithfield has been my go ever since I tried it for the first time years ago. There is no other brand that beats the taste! The way smiths bacon creates a beautiful crisp on both sides creating that perfect crunch is by far what makes them stand out. I’m very particular on my bacon and this will always have my vote. I highly recommend trying it for yourself to taste what I’m talking about.
