Bacon is good, average bacon

I bought this bacon the first time recently. I hadn't read the low reviews before but have since. I don't find the bacon overly salty, (I'm a little salt sensitive), consistency in the slices the same as other bacon I've bought. With that being said, I use to buy Farmland. Members Mark shrunk less and produced less grease, pink to white ratio is much better than Farmland. I don't think it has as good of flavor as Farmland though. The Members Mark bacon seemed to be a little tougher. When I check YES I would recommend this item, I will also be telling the person these findings.

Improved Bacon Version (Per Email from Sam's)

The last time I bought this was 2 weeks ago (last week of May). I received an email from Sam's Club on June 4th. They were giving the updates on this product. Now thicker sliced and much leaner. What I had purchased was the new and improved version! Much better product than before! Worth the money. I wondered if I had just been lucky or if all 3 packages were like that. I am proud to say that the product was consistently thicker and much leaner in all 3 packages. Way to go Sam's Club !!! Thanks!

Bacon is sliced to thick and irregular cuts

The last 2 times I have both Maker's Mark Bacon I have been disappointed in the cut. it has been very thick not classic cut and irregular cuts that make a big difference when it is fried as to how crispy it is. As far as I am concern the price has went up yet the quality has went down.

Disappointed

Bacon slices are very thin, not a lot of flavor. Slices are more than 50% fat. For as thin as they are you'd think they would cook quickly but I think due to so much fat, they take longer to cook. Other reviews state that the quality changes often. Won't purchase again if that's the case.

Not the same

This used to be one of my favorite items. But this past year the quality has diminished significantly. More fat than anything. This used to not smoke up the house, but now just a couple pieces smokes up the whole area and behind an excessive amount of grease and fat.

YUCK!!!

I love Patrick Cudahy sweet smoked bacon but Sam’s Club discontinued it and apparently replaced it with this stuff. It baked nice and crisp, but it tasted awful-almost rancid! It definitely wasn’t salty enough either. I will NEVER buy it again! So disappointed.

Not the same

This used to be good bacon for a great price, but it is not the same. It is paper thin and hard to cook. I had to drain off the grease halfway through cooking because there was so much of it and it was popping all over. Does not have a good flavor. Definitely recommend skipping.

bacon, it’s easy, right?

This is the second time I’ve purchased this bacon, the first being two years ago. I hoped the product had improved, but I’m still hoping. Both times the bacon was overly salty, rendered over a half cup of grease per pound and was cut unevenly with inconsistent thickness. I am returning to Kirkland bacon.

This bacon is declining in quality

I have been purchasing the members mark bacon and found that previously the quality was good. But the most recent purchases are poor with large amounts of fat and little meat. Because this is a three pack, I have frequently found that the center package is worse. I will be filing a complaint with Sam’s Club. Either the Company buyer is not paying attention to quality or possibly the meat provider is supplying in my opinion poor quality bacon. The site would let me down a photo.

Super Thin

If I was rating the taste of this bacon I would say it is great. The quality however is not. The bacon is so thin that you can hardly separate the pieces. It is thin enough to see through. You cannot fry it because it so thin most of it just sticks to the pan and breaks off. You have to broil it to have any success with it. I have NEVER seen bacon so thin, its thinner than deli shaved lunch meat. Most Members Mark products are great but I would say in this case you missed the mark completely.
