Quality and consistency is spiraling

I've been a Wright Brand Bacon lover for 10+ years now and introduced it to so many other people I lost count. Every once in awhile I try a copycat and no one would ever come close. However, as of late I've been disappointed with the quality of flavor and cut. I've tried all flavors and now only buy the Hickory Smoked because I like it best. It would seem something has changed with the process because I've tried and tried so many packages just hoping it was a fluke, now I really am wondering. The cut inconsistency, I'm referring to thickness of the slices, is now getting annoying because it makes cooking it inconsistent as you can imagine. I read another review speaking to the slices breaking apart and included a photo and have experienced that same exact thing many times. Honestly, my wife and I simply eat less bacon now because Wright has spoiled us to the point that no other brand is on the same level. Please, I beg of you, get your act back together and fix these 'so called' improvements you have made to your process(es). I know manufacturing and improvements/changes are made all the time and especially being part of a MAJOR corporation like Tyson, these value/cost saving improvements are not thoughts or ideas, but requirements. Seems something has come unhinged at some point and now the product is changing.

Through Thick and thin

I have bought Wright bacon for years because the thick cut and quality is well worth the price and my family loves that it cooks up nice and thick. Until recently. The last 4 times I have bought it it is thin and falls apart while cooking and is no better than cheap Oscar Meyer. Not sure who is cutting now but they are failing horribly . Now I have to find a new bacon..

Wright Thick Bacon

I would give it 5 stars for quality, but the packaging stinks. Got 2.5 lbs on one side and 1.5 lbs. on the other side. How about packaging it into 4 separate 1 lb. packages like most companies do. Had to repackage it as I don't eat 2.5 lbs. at one time.

A little salty

I love the thickness, and it may have been the fact that my wife likes her bacon crispy which may have brought out the salt, I like mind what I'd call medium well, or chewy, whatever, from a price point I found it a little high. good flavor aside from the saltiness.

When I found Wright ...

When I found Wright Bacon, all other bacon products were dead to me. Wright has done everything, well, right! The slices are perfectly thick, with just the right amount of smoke. They cook perfectly in the oven, stovetop or even in the microwave. The packaging is user-friendly and seals back up nicely for safe, clean storage in the fridge. It's the perfect product for your bacon needs.

Incredibly good

This is the best bacon I have ever dragged across my lips. It is referred to as the “good kinda bacon” in our house. Obviously others feel the same as it is regularly out of stock. I fear Sams will stop carrying it some day or start carrying some inferior brand because that is typically what happens.

Great Taste

I have been buying Wright's hickory and applewood smoked bacon for 10 years. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is lack of consistency on thickness that has appeared in the last 3 years. Some packages have consistent thickness others do not. Those that aren't consistent on thickness is happening more frequently.

The best thick cut ...

The best thick cut bacon on the market! So tasty and it hardly shrinks when cooked. This bacon is perfect for salads, BLT'S and more! It is pricier than other thick cut bacon but totally worth it. Taste doesn't even compare. Will definitely buy again.

It Might Be Nap-Thirty After Breakfast!

Wright Brand Thick Cut Hickory Smoked Bacon is AWESOME! The perfect way to start a Saturday morning. Wright bacon is cut at the perfect thickness. Makes tasty BLT's, perfect with any dish that requires bacon, it definitely makes any dish pop with flavor. It is worth the price in my opinion. My family's favorite since 1990. It makes the house smell g-o-o-d and lingers for a long time, especially on a rainy day. Smiles
