I used to buy only black label bacon. My experience lately has changed my buying decison The last batch of bacon had 90% fat very little meat. Sorry I have switched.
Don't buy Black Label bacon from Hormel.
stop going cheap. Go back to your old standards. I do not want to put a hunk of fat on a plate for breakfast or in my quiches!
User's recommendation: chek out other brands!
False packaging
- - The Black Label THICK CUT bacon was not thick cut and tore easily.
- - It was very thin, not thick cut as advertised.
I purchased your Black Label THICK CUT bacon which was NOT thick cut. When I pulled bacon to cook it was SO THIN it tore apart!!
Thus was NOT THICK CUT it was regular cut VERY VERY THIN!! There should be laws to hold against this kind of rip off!!! THICK cut bacon is NOT so thin it tares when trying to pull out of package!!
Why do you lie & rip off customers?? Definitely a waste of money!!!
- Fake advertising thick cut bacon is not thick it is very very thin definitely not thick cut
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Don't buy this brand, rip off!!

Verified ReviewerJust opened a box of Microwave Ready Black Label Bacon and when I pulled out the 4 pack, bacon was gray color with green spots. Box had an expiration date of Sep 28 2025A 1992.
- - Second time we’re disappointed with this bacon.
- - First time, bacon was nearly all fat.
- - Box costs $8.97 and most bacon is fat.
What happened?
This is the 2d time we have been disappointed with product. First time was when we opened boxes and found bacon to be nearly all fat??
This box of bacon cost us $8.97...A lot to pay, when most of the bacon is nothing but fat??
We buy this bacon every week...and like the convenience of it, but it's get's expensive at $8.97 per box.
User's recommendation: You know I'm not sure on how to rectify at my end. Really up to Company to solve?
Unsatisfied with last 2 purchases of large microwave bacon
- - I have bought this product for 10 years.
- - My last two purchases were 90 percent fat.
- - Changes to size and packaging were disappointing.
I have purchased the above referenced product for the past 10 years
My last 2 purchases have been 90 percent fat.
I do understand changes to product size and packaging but this was extremely disappointing.
User's recommendation: Never heard back from the company
Bad product complaint
- - 4-strip bacon shows gray color with green spots.
- - Expiration Sep 28 2025A; EST 1992; 3 of 4-pack boxes were fatty.
Issue with Hormel Black Label Microwave bacon. Opened box this morning, found 4 strip package of bacon was gray looking with green spots.
Noticed the gray color yesterday...relooked this morning...green spots were new this morning. Expiration date was Sep 28 2025A, EST 1992. We had already eaten the other 3, 4 strips packages of bacon earlier?
Threw a wat away and opened new box. This has never happened!
One other issue has happened and have been meant to write about it earlier, so now writing about both issues!
Have opened previous boxes of this bacon and found 3 out 4, 4 strip packages were all fat. I think this i unacceptable when we pay $8.97 for each box.
Can get very expensive!
Can someone please look into both of these issues? Is this a quality control issue at your company?
User's recommendation: Hormel needs to find solution, so it doesn’t happen again

I have been a loyal customer for years. I have tried other brands and not been satisfied.
Today when I opened my bacon package which was purchased at Walmart, I was shocked the bacon had irregular slices and there were bits and pieces. Totally not happy with that.

Verified ReviewerProduct concern
- - Breakfast Combo with tiny pancakes and sausage patties is enjoyed.
- - Sausage patties have a boiled color; darker or one-side coloring would help.
I really love the Breakfast Combo with tiny pancakes and sausage Patties. However, the sausage patties have a very off putting color.
They look like they have been boiled. It would be much more appetizing if they were darker, like they were fried. Even some coloring sprayed even on one side would improve their appearance.
I do realize that this is a small problem in the grand scheme of things, but as humans, the appearance of our food tends to make a huge difference in our appreciation of taste. Thank you.
- Very tasty
Preferred solution: Maybe a darker sausage patty
User's recommendation: Makes a delicious breakfast for on the go.
