We have always been delighted with the Black Label Thick Slice Bacon we purchased from Publix. This time we purchased 2 packages as typical and Thick Slice they are not. After cooking they are thin and short albeit the flavor was still what we expected. Maybe the bacon was placed in the wrong package?

Purchased this items many times with no issues, the last 3lb package was different. The package looked fine in a vacuum seal fashion, appeared properly handled and refrigerated fashion. When the package was opened at home a slight odd odor was detected like spoked meat. I was unsure and continued to break it down to 1 lb portions to freeze. Later a frozen package was removed and noticed a foul odor was still present. Threw the entire 3 lbs away. Being pork did not want to take a chance and get sick from food poisoning.

I bought this thick cut bacon and am very disappointed with the bacon itself. It is extremely thin - paper thin - very fatty, and the slices are not uniformly cut. Some slices are in places almost twice as wide as others, with the extra being paper-thin fat. Most distressing is that I weighed my bacon to divide and freeze in three 1-lb packages. My bacon weighed 2 lbs, 10 oz - 6 ounces short. That’s a big difference! I know my scale is accurate because I routinely buy and weigh out ground beef and other food items for repackaging. I have never had such a shortage. Needless to say, I will not purchase this product in the future and most likely not any any product from this supplier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My grandmother got me to try black label bacon about a year ago and wow it is delicious! Our favorite bacon ever! I love that they have the low sodium option as well, but the original thick cut is our go-to. Highly recommend...you won't be disappointed!

Not a quality grade

The flavor is good, but the package I bought is mostly scraps. If you pick up one end of the bacon, it sometimes falls apart, because it is cut think and uneven. I took photos which I hope I can supply during this review.

I bake in the oven and it always comes out nice and thick- doesn’t shrink up like when frying. Love this brand. Can’t bring ourselves to try any other brand. Highly recommend.

I think the poor reviews come from people who don't know how to prepare pre-cooked bacon. This is pretty much a perfect answer to what bacon lovers want and need. Thank you Homel.
