Gristle Galore!

I have bought these for about the past 3 years. This is no longer a quality product. The last four bags have been full of gristle. (Apparently I'm a slow learner) You can't take a bit of salad without having a piece of gristle. I bought two bags that arrived this week and my first salad -- 3 pieces of gristle. Yuk!

Look Out For Hard to Chew Skin/Rinds

These used to be so much better without the now containing “skin/rind”pieces. If you were smart you would deep fry the skin pieces which are called pork rind snacks. They are good! I don’t like the skin pieces in with the bacon pieces and little nubs of fat. Cant serve to guests as they suddenly have to sit and chew chew the little piece of skin. It is embarrassing. Like I said in the past I loved this item. Not so much now because of the tough skin/rind pieces.

Mold!!!!!

I bought these and took them home put them in the refrigerator immediately. When I open them to use them the contents of the bag was moldy. Oddly enough this is not the first time this has happened to me with this particular product. Please be aware before buying

reply from Supplier Response

Thank you for sharing your experience although I'm sorry the bacon was moldy. Our bacon should be fresh and delicious when unopened until the package date and for seven days when opened and stored in the refrigerator at 40 degrees or less. The bacon, like all Members Mark products, is covered by our 100$ member satisfaction guarantee. Please contact our member support team at (888) 301-0332 and they would be happy to help make this right.

70% fat

Most of the bag contained large fat pieces which can incite gagging when chewed. To circumvent that I usually fry them for a bit before pouring egg over them for omelets, the fat keeps the egg from sticking and adds a bit more flavor. Works the same for mashed potatoes.

Almost Perfect

We like our bacon crisp, so these bits are "undercooked" for us. Fortunately this is easily remedied by dumping some onto a dish lined with a paper towel and microwaving for a minute (or two depending on the quantity). In addition to making them more crunchy, it cooks out some fat which gets soaked up by the paper towel rather than going to our arteries. As an added bonus, the kitchen acquires that wonderful 'just-cooked' bacon aroma!

Refrigerate before opening!

I have bought these bacon bits many times which is why I didn’t give this one star. This time I put it in the cupboard until I opened it. Upon opening, the bacon was fuzzy and moldy!? So gross. I exchanged the package and the replacement was just fine, as expected and high quality bacon. The package says refrigerate after opening, I will be refrigerating from the get go from now on!

Not fully cooked bacon bits

Wanted 5-star bacon bits. Instead I got 1-star nearly uncooked bits of bacon. Not crunchy at all like real bacon bits are supposed to be. It appears the folks at Member’s Mark haven’t a clue about what a bacon bit is. It’s a shame because they got everything else right. Just not the bacon bits part. Even if they are smoked, they should be crunchy. As is, you need to put them in the oven to crisp them, then place in a Lock ‘n Lock in the fridge. I suppose if you were making a pizza, these would work well - they would get cooked along with the pizza. After crisping them, they taste good and there’s no raw fatty bits. Would prefer that Member’s Mark did the extra cooking for all of us before packaging.

Awful Product

I have tried this product several times. I keep hoping it will get better, but it never does. I have found that there is an awful taste, almost rancid. It is extremely greasy with pieces of bacon mostly fat. Sam's used to sell Hormel Real Bacon bits. It is a far superior product, wish it was still available at Sam's. I will not purchase this Members Mark again. I certainly don't understand all of the high ratings. I have been a Sam's Club member for almost 30 years, this is the worst product I have ever bought there.

NOT your traditional bacon bits!!

Too bad that "Zero Stars" is not an option. Description says "crunchy" and "crumbled"; NO WAY!! These are only about half cooked and then "shredded" into clumps. Even worse they are made from bacon with the rind/skin still attached; so you are left with lots of tough little chewy pieces resembling gristle spread throughout. After having to fry/render it down some more to make it usable; you will lose nearly half of the amount bought into rendered bacon grease. Never again!! DEFINITELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!

Keep Chewing ! and chewing and chewing...

Now I know where all the replaced tires from the tire center go to be recycled ! Mmmmm These taste like ground-up rubber with bacon flavor sprayed on. These aren't fit to eat. Made from fatty off-cuts that used to go to the pet food companies these may turn your stomach. Very disappointed.
