Declining Quality

What has happened to this bacon? The packaging is terrible, you now have to cut it apart yourself and it's impossible to not break the seal on the packages. Then the bacon itself is so inconsistent. Very thin, almost all fat, looks almost like lace it's so thin. The last package we opened looked about half full, very strange and had two pieces that were so thick, like at least 1/2 inch thick. There's no quality control happening. Just pay more for the name brand. Sams - please hold your supplier to a higher standard.

Good Taste but the packaging is flimsy

The taste is very good, but the packaging is a bit flimsy. I have to freeze two of the pounds to keep it fresh since they come in three-pound packages. The pound packages are not divided well, and you tear up the flimsy packaging and you have to put it into other bags to freeze them.

Tasty and not too salty!

These are nice wide strips of meaty bacon. The slice thickness is thin and crisps up easily. The flavor is just right and doesn’t taste overly salty. Each package comes with three vacuum packed packages of bacon. We enjoy it wrapped around a jalapeño popper, a slice for a burger or BLT, and of course as a breakfast protein side.

Great Price and Great Taste

I like thin cut bacon that is slightly on the fatty side. This bacon cooks up quickly and it gets nicely crisp without being hard to chew. Great smokey flavor. We buy at least one package a month. Just hope it doesn't disappear like so many of Sam's Club products have lately. Try it, you'll like it!

This is uncured pork belly not bacon!

I opened one package %26 the tip of many strips were hard %26 dry like they had been sitting out for awhile. All packages were still vacuum sealed so it had to be at the processing plant. I cooked up one package to freeze for later %26 tried a strip. It had no flavor whatsoever. No smoke flavor at all %26 no cure or salt flavor just plain pork. I then cooked the other 2 packages in the oven to see if they too were flavorless %26 they were. The package said: Lot%23525953 Insp by%239999 Obviously they just made up Inspector 9999 to fill in a blank. Sam's needs to discontinue their partnership with this facility! Leaving pork out so long it air dries is not safe. Calling this Hickory smoked when there is no smoke is outright fraud. Not curing pork belly %26 selling it as bacon has to be illegal. I not only will not be buying this product again, I would like Sam's to identify this facility so I don't buy any of their products again. They cannot be safe. I had to throw this meat out.

Great Bacon

Members Mark bacon is really good and rates (in my book anyway) as high as any of the major brands of bacon. Taste is good, content is adequate and packaging is sufficient. Price point has recently come down significantly! Recommend you try this brand. Sam’s Club has a winner.

This bacon is perfect for anytime of day!

This is now our family's favorite bacon. We tried it because it was on sale - 3 of the 1 pound packages sold in a bundle on sale for $8.99. We were very impressed. The flavor is delicious - smokey, a little sweet and perfectly savory. It cooks up evenly. It is the perfect cut - not too thin and not thick. We like to cook ours in the oven on a lined cookie sheet and this crisps it to perfection.

Thin and crisp sooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooo

Good. A little hard to cook due to the very thin slices. I like my bacon on the limp side so it was a real chalang to cook a whole pound and get it that way. If you like thin and crispy go for it. If you like limp and thick by all means avoied this bacon unless you you have a lot of time and patience!

Our new favorite bacon

Delicious bacon. It seems like bacon has changed since the pandemic. We have tried numerous brands of bacon and we didn’t care for any of them, Even brands that we used to like prior to the pandemic. We are In Florida for the winter and purchased this bacon from Sam’s. It’s delicious. It has a mild smoky flavor, it is not exceptionally salty, and it cooks up beautifully! We will definitely purchase again.

Oh wow

I was always a Hormel bacon gal. But I was told that I should try the Members Mark bacon. So I did I will tell you now that I am a Members Mark bacon gal now. The taste is so much better and it cooks up so perfectly. Never going back to the other brand again
