Original review Dec 25, 2024

We bought bacon and 90% of each bacon strip is all fat there is barely any actual meat. This was bought for a Christmas party and ended up having to make less of a dish because I can't use all fat. I'm very unpleased with the entire package of bacon.

More fat (hidden in window) than meat - quality has decreased by 70%

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I always check, as best as I can, % of fat/slices - previously O.M. was superior.

Pkg complaint more than half is fat excess (above normal acceptance). The fact that the ends on one side were nearly 90% fat and more than 1' in length... where is your QC/RS team?

This is the 4th pkg I bought in the last month - and the others were progressively bad - but this one - I'd be so embarrassed to be an Oscar Mayer employee if this is how low your standards of excellence have become. Sharing pictures ...also to ShopRite.

Bacon was virtually all fat.

Oscar Mayer - Bacon was virtually all fat. - Image 2

Clearly intentionally deceptive packaging. The tiny bit of meat was visible, suggesting quality bacon.

Under the cardboard flap was pure fat. This cannot be used as bacon. I suppose I will try rendering some of the fat to use as pork fat for making beans, but I can buy pork fat for much cheaper. This was a rip-off.

It cannot be qualified as bacon. It's just pork fat.

Fully Cooked Bacon Was Moldy

I often purchase Oscar Mayer Fully Cooked Bacon for the ease of preparation. In the last few months, the quality has been hit or miss.

About 1/4 of the purchases didnt even look cooked, let alone fully cooked. My last purchase on Jan. 19, 2025, was almost raw and was growing mold on it. The box gave a freshness date of March 2025 but the condition of the bacon was disgusting and dangerous.

This type of bacon is not refrigerated once processed and sits in stores in cardboard displays on the floor. If Oscar Mayer is not going to fully cook the bacon before distributing it, people need to watch out for this product for health & safety reasons.

The company could be more discerning about the bacon slices in the package. Its particularly annoying as the outside slice looks good. The sliced inside are not.

Refund for Scam Product

Oscar Mayer - Refund for Scam Product
Oscar Mayer - Refund for Scam Product - Image 2

I bought a sub kit from Oscar Mayer, containing smoked ham and cotto salami. It is not fit for human consumption.

The quality of the cotto salami was worse than the poorest bologna I have ever eaten. And the ham was at least kind of disguised a little with maybe a turkey flavor, but still not do-able as ham in the least. Something needs to be done about these greedy corporations. The packaging that is usually clear on the back side of lunch meats was black, so you cant really see how bad they are scamming you.

I'm fed up with these scams and we need to unite and do something about these deceptive packaging and recipe changes. I want a refund and to shut them all down for being liars!

I did not make the comment about eating and returning the item, but answer his comment fully and quit splitting hairs. (It looks disgusting from the front btw.

Don’t know why you are even complaining about not seeing the other side). His point was, return the item for a refund.

He cannot because he fed it to his dog. The food was eaten.

The only one scamming is HIM. Then he results to childish namecalling when called out on it.

Chao Pne

If you had no issue eating the meat, you should have no issue paying for it. If it was that bad, you should have taken one bite and returned EVERYTHING.

Why would I inconvenience myself so severely, you moron? Im using it to feed my dogs and I still want a refund. You see these bogus scam products all over the stores now, so don't give me no lies, haters.

So if your dogs ate the food, you pay for it. If you cannot afford to feed your dogs do not have dogs. The food was eaten so you PAY FOR IT.

Isn't my whole response about having an issue eating the meat? I didn't eat it.

Oscar Mayer - Bones and texture

I purchased a thick cut Bologna, it has grounded bones and the texture is different. When you chew it remains in big chunks, probably mixed with a thickener that they do not disclose. I will not buy anything from oscar-mayer.

I do not recommend buying any of their products.

Deceiving practice

Oscar Mayer - Deceiving practice
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

I wrote earlier complaining about the bacon I bought from BJ's and said I wouldn't buy it again. Well, I did, and the same thing happened.

The product pictured on the front looked great. But this package is a three-pack, and two out of the three were good. The third, which you cannot see, was all fat.

I paid $17.49 and was ripped off. I believe I've learned my lesson and will not buy it again.

I just wanted you to text you and tell you thank you for such a great product. I know in this world a lot of people complain about everything.

I have not had a hot dog in a long time and I was at the store and I saw the Oscar Meyer brand and I thought what the heck. I'm going to try them again. It's been a long time you know. Took me back to a time when I was a younger person and I want to thank you for that experience.

Your product is fantastic. I plan on keeping you on buying it and I just want to tell you thank you again for the consistency and for your products

I've eaten Oscar Mayer bacon all my life. It was a brand you could trust.

Not anymore.

The packaging hides the lack of quality control. (See pictures below.) I realize bacon is a fatty treat, but when 80% is fat, I should be paying 80% off!
