Fatty bacon

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

I definitely agree with a lot of consumers that the bacon is mostly fat. This is why I have resorted to the microwaveable bacon and not the Oscar Mayer brand!

Cons:
  • Fatty foods

Preferred solution: Not looking to get anything.

User's recommendation: Check the package thoroughly!

80% fat!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Oscar Mayer bacon is described as paper-thin and mostly fat.
  • - Accuses Kraft Foods of prioritizing shareholders and squeezing consumers.

Kraft Foods owns [PERSON_NAME] [PERSON_NAME]. They steal from us by slicing a paper-thin part of the meat, showing this through the plastic clear package; however, upon opening, it's all fat! Kraft Foods is more concerned about their private equity shareholders and steals from consumers so they can squeeze every cent from the American citizens who have made them wealthy, now greedy, selling us fat and a paper-thin sliver of bacon!

Loss:
$7
Pros:
  • No pros
Cons:
  • All fat

User's recommendation: Oscar Mayer Kraft Food sells FAT no MEAT!

Hi, big fan of the turkey bacon. Today, I opened a pack and found a piece of plastic in each piece of the bacon—6 pcs.

About 1 cm from the edges. I didn’t check the whole pack.

Concerned. Be careful; it's small, straw-like/fingernail tip-sized.

Loss:
$9
Pros:
  • Nice packaging
  • Great taste
  • No added junk
Cons:
  • Plastic in food found once time glad i caught it but smaller pieces could be inside

Preferred solution: Full refund

  • - Support has not responded.
Oscar Mayer - Defective packaging and no customer support response

I purchased a package of *** fully cooked bacon that was within the printed use-by date. Upon opening, I discovered a manufacturing defect in the packaging, where a section of the seal appears unsealed or missing adhesive/crimp, allowing air exposure.

The entire contents of the package show uniform abnormal brown and gray discoloration, inconsistent with normal fully cooked bacon.

In addition, there is localized *** growth visible on the meat, consistent with mold or microbial growth, which is clearly visible in the attached photos.

This strongly indicates loss of vacuum seal integrity and spoilage, and the product was not safe to consume.

I contacted *** customer support over one week ago regarding this food safety issue and received no response, despite offering photos and product details. I have clear photographic evidence of the seal defect, full-package discoloration, and mold-like growth, along with the lot code and use-by date.

Preferred solution: Full refund

Mostly fat bacon!

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

Oscar Mayer went downhill on bacon quality. The edges are really thick, rye stuff that can't be eaten either.

I've noticed a few other brands with the same issues. They seem to be getting better, but not quick enough.

Preferred solution: Apology

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

Cons:
  • Will rip you off if they can get away with it

Preferred solution: Price reduction

Too much fat

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

This is normal for just about any bacon now days, but the way they cut it to hide the fat behind slots on the packaging just burns me up. It is fraud and is not right.

User's recommendation: Don't buy it.

Center Cut Bacon

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

Purchased center cut bacon, which I consider a good product; however, it seems quality is no longer up to standards. It has a lot of fat to it, and pieces are so thin it stretches the meat even thinner.

Could not load the photos to show my complaint.

Loss:
$12
Cons:
  • Too much fat and very thin

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not purchase as you are not getting what you paid for.

My kids don't like regular hot dogs but I introduced them to smokies(hotdogs sized) since I loved them as a kid. They ate smokies for years until last 2 times I bought them. They say it's a hotdog.

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

Add the flavoring that is now missing. Why wasn't it mentioned on the package?

All pork doesn't change how smoky the flavor is. I'm disappointed in a brand that has been around for my whole life.

Loss:
$15
Cons:
  • Waste your hard earned money

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Don't buy the smokies anymore!!

More fat than bacon

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

Same thing happened to me. I have more fat than meat.

80 percent meat and 20 percent fat. This way the customer feels satified

User's recommendation: Tell the company to cut back on the fat

There is no way to get crisp bacon without using a great deal of paper towels and putting it in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time and then blotting it each time with fresh paper towels.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Thick bacon is not crisp and hard to bite.
  • - It uses more paper towels and adds hassle.
  • - The bacon tends to slip out of the sandwich.

I have no idea. I am not part of the bacon business.

I just know that I wont buy that thick bacon anymore! Its not worth all of the hassle and the cost of all of the paper towels I have to use. Even after all of that, the bacon never gets really crisp plus its hard to bite when it is on a BLT.

When I take a small bite, the entire piece of bacon comes out of the sandwich! Ugh!!!

User's recommendation: Go to a Waffle House where they can fry up crispy bacon with ease and just enjoy it without the hassle!
