They keep getting smaller and smaller

I buy these on the regular but I've noticed that they keep getting smaller and smaller. This last time that I bought a pack (at almost 18 bucks) they looked like the ends were cut off!!! Change the picture because the product that is sold looks nothing like what you're advertising!! Every piece is shorter than a dollar bill. I won't be buying these again. So disappointing after getting a quality product for so long. Where is the quality control??

Marginal, at best, for nearly $22 a pound!

This product is sliced as razor thin as they could possibly slice it. When properly reheated per directions, it crumbles and literally becomes bacon bits. It hasn't always been this bad, but I get that they have to find a way to continually raise the price, so this is how they do it. However, at $21.70 per pound, I think they've finally hit the price point at which I can do without it. I think I'll go back to frying bacon on the rare occasion that I want it, or else ditch bacon altogether in favor of a much more affordable Sams prime ribeye steak ($15/lb.) to enjoy with my eggs!

No taste

I’ve been buying this bacon for years and my most recent pack is way different. The pieces are super small, very little meat and it has no taste. I’ve never had tasteless bacon in my life, so strange. I’ll give it one more try but if nothing changes I’ll have to find an alternative.

Very disappointed in the shrinking size & quality

I hadn't bought this in awhile, like maybe a year or so but instantly noticed the decrease in quality & size as soon as soon as I opened it. It is sliced so thin now, part of it burns while the fatty part remains fatty. Such a waste of $. Very disappointed

went bad two months before bb date

Usually I love this bacon but the last bag I bought was a disappointment! It had mold growing in the bag about 2 months before the BBdate and the bacon was super discolored. I usually buy this because of how long it stays good for and I don’t go through crazy amounts of bacon but this was just disappointing especially for the price Probably will not buy again in fear of this being the new case. Now I’m stuck with about $10 worth of bacon I can’t eat

Quantity & Quality Fall Short

The first few packages of the MM fully cooked bacon were great. However, the last 2 packages were full of lard from the cooked bacon and stuck to the package. Also, the package states approximately 36 pieces per package, but are consistently only 27 (9 in each layer x3).

The Best

This makes BLTs and additions to Omletes so easy! Toast in the small oven and done! Excellent, too bad inflation has made it so expensive. The have been some odd black spots on the bacon lately, not sure what that is. They are putting it in the refrigerated cabinets lately, they used to stock them unrefrigerated.

Dislike reduction in thickness

I love this bacon. It's nice and easy to prepare. But the slices have definitely been getting thinner and thinner, to the point that a lot of them are broken up or Easley break in pieces. Sometimes they're more like large bacon bits. I'm sure this is being done to keep the the count at 72 without raising the price. But the qualitythickness used to be much better. Before the thickness reduction, I could do one layer with the microwave set for 75-80 seconds and it would turn out just right. Now it's sometimes blackens some at 50 seconds.
