The meat is colorless/grey and the strips are mostly fat.
Not feeling great about this purchase.
Will be exploring other suppliers.
From USWM: Our sugar-free pork bacon is natural pork with sea salt that is hickory smoked. We use a dry sea salt rub to cure the bacon naturally. We do not use nitrate/nitrite or celery salt/celery powder. We are not using any food dyes or coloring in our products; that is just the natural color of the bacon. Ours isn't ever as 'red' as what you will conventionally find in the grocery store, and it often has more of a gray tint to it due to the natural wood smoke that we use to flavor the meat. I hope you find this note helpful! Please do not hesitate to reach back out to my team at 877.383.0051 with additional questions or concerns. We appreciate you and your continued support! Best of health.

When I first bought this, defrosted it, looked bloody, cooked up a frying pan "gray"...WELL, I spoke with customer service and got EDUCATED on HOW TO COOK this to PERFECTION....400 degree oven, sheet tray with raised rack, season both sides with smoked paprika, sea salt, onion/garlic powder...LET COOK in OVEN for 10-15 on one side THEN flip them over cook the other side....the fat renders into the meat...making it HEAVENLY FATTY GOODNESS..we fight over who gets the last piece. LEARN how to cook it ...AWESOMENESS

This bacon is wonderful. It's not too salty to us. The fat tastes great and enough meat on it for us. W This Bacon is a side dish w our eggs but it's been great to go on anything else. It's hard to find bacon that doesn't have Nitrites or nitrates in it. We ordered 3 packages because we didn't want to run out right away. We just put them in the freezer. This will be a repeat for us with our future orders.

I have always heard rave reviews of this bacon and every time I went to buy it, it was out of stock. Finally, when I was ordering there was bacon available. I grabbed two packages and I'm very disappointed. The bacon is beige and tasteless. My kids wouldn't even eat it based on the color. I cook uncured sugar free bacon all the time from other suppliers and it doesn't look or taste like this. I will not order it again, wish I had only bought one package to throw away :(
From USWM: Thank you for your valued feedback on our Sugar-Free Pork Bacon Slices. We cannot speak to other companies' products but do assure you we add nothing to our bacon outside of sea salt and natural cold hickory smoke from smoldering hickory wood. I apologize sincerely for your inconvenience and look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve you!

Ok, this bacon ticks a lot of my boxes. First and foremost, this is SALT CURED BACON. No nitrates, no 'celery or cherry powder'(also a nitrate, differently labels). It's salt and pork and lots of flavor.
The texture is hearty because this is authentic bacon. Two, excellent flavor. Three, it cooks very evenly.

The quality has changed significantly. My family used to love your sugar-free bacon & we ordered it frequently. Now, it's mostly fat and I only order it to have a backup on-hand in my freezer. Petty much yuck! Change back!!

I’m so impressed with bacon that doesn’t have anything in it but healthy pork and excellent flavor. When I first decided to order and try it out I really didn’t expect to much as for as flavor. Boy was I wrong! This bacon is extremely tasty and doesn’t have all the unhealthy Ingredients found is so many other products. Great product!

And that's a good thing. I've been baking this in the oven @ 400F for about 20 minutes on a wire grid over a foil tray and it comes out perfect.
The low salt load is more important to me than the sugar-free. Most store bacon has a lethal load of sodium and I'm really sensitive to it for some reason — too much and my heart races and I get pounding headaches — and I'd given up on bacon until I found this.

Love this bacon - best taste I've had in many years. Not too salty and no artificial flavors. Doesn't have sugar (why would any good bacon ever need sugar??) I request leaner and USW does their best on that.Slices are thick so allow extra cook time if you like it crispy. Just ordered more today.

I really wish you posted the nutrition information here, or the ingredients and amount. The bacon was so salty and it was nearly impossible to taste any other flavor, other than salt. Do you offer a low sodium option? I won't be buying this again. I love that there's no sugar or nitrates, but the salt is too much.

This bacon is very tasty. It is great if you like a bacon that is not a big Smokey flavor and it is not very salty either.
I cooked it in the air fryer on 350 for 14 min like my normal bacon but I had to add another 2 min to get it crispier.
Like the fact there is no sugar as well

We were excited to receive the well-packaged order but the bacon was almost all fat, not like how it's pictured on the website. When we submitted the feedback via email, the response was simply to try beef bacon or Canadian pork bacon on the next order. Thanks, but it would be more helpful to have a note of warning ahead of time on the website or different options for extra fat vs. regular bacon.

This bacon couldn't have been fattier. Not only that, the flavor and smell were absolutely disgusting. Sure, bacon has fat, but this was inedible. I cooked this up and gave it to the dogs. There's no way I would feed this to household members or myself. This is disappointing because several of their other pork products are top notch. I'll be sticking with the organic store bought bacon.

Good bacon, poor customer service
I have been ordering this bacon for almost ten years, but stopped because of poor customer service. When I got full fat-no lean bacon, I complained, and was told to indicate "lean only" on my order form. Did that. Got full fat again, complained, was told that "it is a natural product, live with it" Asked to escalate to a smarter service rep, got no response. I'm buying bacon that I can look at before I buy. So should you.
From USWM: We are very sorry for your disappointment with this most-recent orders of our sugar-free bacon. We offer a wide array of fat content in products, as our animals have a natural “pecking order”. Simply put, some are more active than others and fat varies from animal-to-animal. Yes, when a customer initially complains about fat content, we routinely encourage you to place a notation in the “Other Special Messages and Notes Tab” during checkout for lean, uniform bacon slices. Our team will happily sort through our current inventory for selections that most-closely meet your specifications. This is never a guarantee, but we do our very best to accommodate each and every one of our customers specific preferences. We stand behind our product and will not leave you at a loss. We are a very small team of customer service agents, but are more than happy to get you in touch with our owner directly with any future complaints.

Like others have mentioned, it's great bacon, and we're grateful for the quality! However, it is super fatty with less meat than anticipated. So consider this with the price.

Tried this bacon for the first time today. There is basically no flavor whatsoever. At least not the bacon flavor we are all familiar with. It kinda just tastes like a pork chop or something. Seriously disappointed.
Now I've got 7lbs of this stuff in my freezer. Might try another package to see if the first one we opened was a dud.

Do not be fooled by the picture - this bacon is mostly to all fat
The bacon I received looks nothing like the picture. I ordered 3 - 2 out of 3 are meh (at least 2/3 of each slice is solid fat- very little actual meat) with the 3rd one being 90% fat. The one hit the trash can. If you want actual meat on your bacon, look elsewhere.
*From USWM - Thank you for your valued feedback. We communicated with you via email on this subject and have populated a full-refund for your QTY x3 Sugar-Free Bacon that did not meet your expectations. Please ensure you kindly place a notation in our Other Special Messages and Notes tab during checkout with your fat specifications.

99% of the time, this is a great, tasty product. I found out recently that there are bad lots. When I contacted US Wellness, they were very good about refunding me for ONE of the packages of the bad lot. I contacted them several more times about the other four packages, and they did not respond. So, usually it is great, but when it's not the customer service is lacking.

Another disappointing meat
The bacon was nearly 95% fat. It cooked down okay and what was left tasted good, but both of my packages were extremely fatty cuts of bacon and I feel like I overpaid for pork fat.

Too Much Fat this Time Around
I've been a customer of USWM for something on the order of 12-years or more now - back in the days of being Grassland Beef and only having beef products.
The most recent oder included 3 packages of sugar-free pork bacon. All three packages were the fattest bacon I've ever received. They were all at least 80% - 85% fat. Yeah, bacon is supposed to have fat and this bacon normally tastes great. This time the fat content was simply unacceptable.
Leftover evidence of fat content was the bacon grease quantity that was at least 33% higher than what I typically experience. The 1.5-pound package produced nearly 3-cups of bacon grease...WOW!!!
I'll order again, but hope to not be disappointed to this level.
*From USW Meats - We are grateful for you taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry for your disappointment. We are happy to issue a refund for the bacon you received but fail to find a recent order containing bacon. Please kindly reach out to us at 877.383.0051 with your order # containing the high-fat bacon. For future orders, you are always welcome to use the special notes box at checkout to include any personal packing requests for our freezer team. "Extra lean bacon" is a little challenging to accommodate, but our crew will do their best to find the leaner (appearing) packages for you. Please reach out at any time if we may be of further assistance! With gratitude, The US Wellness Meats Team

Usually this bacon is the most amazing thing I’ve ever tasted, and I’ve been eating it for years. Lately, it’s had no flavor and appears smaller and really shrinks down to super tiny when cooked. I shouldn’t have to cook 10 pieces of bacon to feel like I have had a fair amount of morning protein. The packages I have ordered on this last order really didn’t hit the mark. It’s unfortunate when you spend so much on baco it’s unfortunate when you spend so much on food. I’m pretty disappointed.

This bacon is pretty good. At roughly 100 calories a slice, I'm thinking there are definitely less expensive lower calorie bacon brands on the market. However, for the quality and delicious taste, this is definitely worth the money. I'm probably not going to buy bacon from anywhere else. Yo get a good amount of bacon for the price, so definitely a good value.

Too delicate and and bland.
I have loved everything I have ordered from US Wellness so far (steaks, liverwurst and beef sticks) except for this product. I found the bacon to be incredibly delicate,so much so that the slices shred apart when attempting to separate them from one another and i also found the flavor to be completely bland, just the slightest hint of smoke and salt, barely enough to notice. I will keep ordering other items but I will be searching other places for sugar free bacon.

Best Bacon I've had in a long time
This bacon is just like my grandfather's bacon from the 1950s. We had a farm and granddaddy raised hogs to be butchered in November when the frost was on the ground. I've never had any as good as his until now. Will definitely order again and recommend to others. The prices are good for what you get.

We eat all kinds of meat cuts and the whole family loves bacon, but I couldn't get anyone to eat this. It smelled weird. Maybe it was rancid? It's confusing as there are lots of positive reviews for this, so I figure something went wrong with our package, sadly. We have our own smoker and love smoked meats, so I expected a treat (that I didn't have to make myself, sometimes we smoke our own pork belly). Now I am kind of spooked about getting new products. The liverwurst is our favorite.

I searched months and months for a sugar-free, organic bacon (I know this isn’t certified organic, but the farms follow organic practices) before discovering US Wellness Meats. I had settled on the Applegate Organic, but I’m sure the 0 carbs listed is rounded down, and I found their bacon very inconsistent. So I was elated to discover this bacon. The shape and sizes of the slices of bacon aren’t all the same, but the bacon is consistently tasty and always cooks up very nicely. It’s cut thinly enough that I can always get nice, crisp bacon without having it get too hard (my problem with thick-sliced bacon). The flavor is good, and I have no guilt eating this bacon. This bacon also produces way more grease than any other bacon I’ve tried, so I never have to worry about running out of grease (I save it and cook with it and add it to a lot of my dishes).

Don't get me wrong. If you want the purest kind of bacon out there without all the extra crap, this is the one to get. However, I will say that there's hardly any meat so most of the bacon you'll eat is all fat. But hey, that's sort of the best part? :)

Not what I'm accustomed to
This bacon has a good flavor, but it wasn't thick enough for me and there was a good amount of shrinkage. To be fair, I'm used to eating thick cut, long bacon. This bacon looked as though it was cut in half. By the time it finished cooking, it was extremely small pieces! While I like the way it taste, I don't like the thinness of it. I may order one more time and make a note for a leaner cut. Hard to take a chance when the price has just gone up almost $3 in the past 2 weeks.not sure it's worth the money.

I am so glad to have found a bacon with no sugar. Don't really understand the bad reviews, this bacon far surpassed my expectations. If you are worried about the fat, just be sure to bake it in a rimmed, foil lined baking sheet with a rack on top. All the fat will drop to the bottom, and you'll get nice crunchy bacon (depending on how long you cook it... it's very thick and I think I had it in there for 25-30 minutes at 400, but I like my bacon crunchy).

Regular favorite, but last order had little fat!
I get 3 pkgs. every order because it's our most favorite bacon. Only got 2 last time since we also tried the side bacon (DIY), which was practically all fat-too much fat, like pork rinds with hard meat bits after cooking. These last 2 packages of sugar free pork bacon were very disappointing as the fat is where the melt-in-your-mouth flavor comes from, and we couldn't even eat it. Will take the risk of ordering more, though, in hopes we get the higher fat bacon again. Will still give Excellent review, fingers crossed.

I ordered this as I have been trying to follow the Whole 30 program which calls for no added sugar. Admittedly, my expectations were on the low side. I'm accustomed to ordering food for diet programs and making the investment only to discover that I didn't care for it. This blew me away! The bacon is meaty and crispy and literally the best bacon I've had. I'm so glad I ordered 2 packages. I can't wait to try the sausages (no added sugar) that I also ordered. Thank you US Wellness Meats for providing clean, healthy, and responsibly and compassionately raised products!!!!

I don't really like bacon. Well, I thought I didn't, until I ate this bacon. I don't know how anyone couldn't like it. It's absolutely delicious and tastes like bacon SHOULD, fat and all. On top of being the best bacon I've ever had, it's sugar free, so I didn't get that nasty crash/headache two hours after eating it as I do with any other bacon. My husband and sister (bacon lovers) were hooked as well. I am continually impressed with US Wellness Meats and the products they provide, and the outstanding customer service they deliver.

The first half of the package was great! Lean and awesome taste in regular size bacon slices. The second half of the package was good, however, the slices when cooked were shoe lace size. Hmm... I'm trying it again to see if this is the case on all packs.

So good it should be illegal!
My goodness, I don't think bacon can get any better than this.
When it comes to fine cuisine, I'm discriminating. And this is not only the best bacon I've ever tasted, but also one of the yummiest foods on the planet. I'd live on this stuff if a well-rounded diet wasn't important.
The bacon arrived about nine days ago. Since then, I've had it with liver and onions, and in potato soup, and with fried eggs, and just as a snack. Yes, all that in 9 days, because this bacon rocks.
Next time I will get more than one package as a way to help flesh out the minimum order.

I received this bacon today and cooked up 5 slices. It was way too salty!!! So much so, that I had to drink plenty of water after each bite. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch, but I won't be ordering this again, and I likely won't cook up the rest of it. For reference, when I have store bought bacon, I don't think twice about the salt content, but the salt in this was just through the roof!

Was a little skeptical at first because of the cost, but this bacon rocks. If you don't like fatty bacon, this product is probably not for you as I would say it's 85-90+% fat. It shrinks up quite a bit after cooking. But after saying all that, it's some of the. Eat bacon I've ever had! And the grease is great for cooking!

When I was a little girl, my grandparents butchered hogs every Fall, and put up hams and bacon in a little smokehouse on their property. I haven't tasted bacon like that UNTIL I bought some of this bacon! Perfectly smoky, salty, and cooks up crispy but tender. It's a good thing these are 1 1/2 lb packages, or my husband and I would be having some serious disagreements on who gets how much!

Can't believe how good this bacon is!
I don't usually buy bacon, but, decided to get this. I cooked this in the oven in a large pan. My husband and I had some for dinner and I saved the rest for other meals. I saved all the bacon fat for using in other dishes. I am almost embarrassed to say I kept snacking on the bacon slices the next day from the fridge. I couldn't stop until they were all gone! I guess I need to partially thaw the next package and divide it and, then, put part of it back in the freezer! What a great product! Would appreciate smaller packages, though.

I thought I had left a review but I guess I didn't so here goes. I love this bacon. It reminds me of the bacon I ate when I was a young child. And as far as the bacon having too much fat? BRING IT ON! :) If I want meat I'll order a chop, heh. PLEASE don't change the flavor of this bacon. It's perfect, which is why we always buy our sugar free bacon right here. The bacon grease tastes great with our eggs too.

My family missed bacon on whole 30 so we were happy to find this - and more so after we tasted it! It tastes like real food. Nice smoke, not too salty, and good meat to fat ratio in our batch. First bite tasted more like grilled ribs than bacon, but it scratched the itch. I'm back to order more...

Fat/Meat Ratio - Works for me
Some would prefer much more meat to fat, but as someone who grew up on this style of bacon, this is a fantastic product. Also, as someone who incorporates as many healthy fats in my diet as possible, I get it with this bacon. The other added benefit, is it renders a generous about of bacon grease which I save and use to cook other foodstuffs.

I really wanted to like this. I have cut sugar from most areas of my diet, but I guess bacon won't be one of them. This didn't taste like bacon to me. It tastes more like a plain piece of meat, which I guess (without the sugar), maybe it is.
USWM - Thank you for taking the time to review our product! We are truly very sorry for the disappointment. We have not experienced any similar complaints as this seems to be a crowd favorite!

We've ordered this bacon on many, many occasions and when it's a good batch it's SO good. The flavor and texture are excellent. Really, the best bacon I've ever eaten.
Unfortunately, we don't always receive a good batch. For example, the last package that I defrosted over the weekend was basically just pure fat. I took some photos, but unfortunately I cannot include them in this review, but by looking at the slices, it appears that the composition is easily 95% fat. Thats great if you're wanting to stock up on bacon grease! Not so great when you would like some actual meat with your eggs. Unfortunately, at nearly $20 per package, it may not be worth the risk to order these anymore. Super bummed.
USWM- Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on our Sugar Free Pork Bacon Slices. As I'm sure you know each animal is different which in return can make each cut different. When you go to the grocery store and you look at the bacon you are going to pick the cut that is most appealing to you and your family. Not every package of bacon there is going to be the same either. As well as someone is blindly shopping for you when they are picking your order. As I'm sure you have noticed the special notes box on your order when you are checking out. This is to help our pick and pack crew to get the very best products for you and your family. If you prefer leaner cuts of bacon simply type it in the special notes box. This box can be used for any of our products if there is something specific you prefer. Some of our customers prefer fattier bacon. I know that isn't for everyone, but we can't get the perfect cut in the box if you don't let us know what's best for you. We hope this helps!
Kind regards,
The US Wellness Meats Team

Really really wanted to love it.
I am very sad I am about to throw out four packs of this bacon. We tried it four times. Husband and I did not like the flavor at all. I felt it had on off/rancid flavor. I know changing your palate to sugar free takes a while but we have had other sf bacon without problems. We do love all the other meats we have purchased from Wellness.
USWM- Thank you for your feedback on our product! We are truly very sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with our Sugar Free Pork Bacon Slices. We have not heard similar complaints on the bacon. This is usually a crowd favorite and we often sell completely out of this product. Again, we are truly very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you and your family.

My wife and I just didn't like the taste. I tried cooking it several different ways and incorporated it into different types of food but the taste was still there. I've enjoyed all other products from US Wellness just didn't care for this one.
**From USWM** We're very sorry for your disappointment. Our Sugar Free Pork Bacon Slices is one of our most popular products but we understand the Bacon just simply did not meet your preference. We've applied a store credit for the bacon you purchased but were unable to consume and enjoy.

While yes this bacon was fattier than I generally like, it was delicious! This was my first order so I only got one package, and now it's gone. Like the title says, this makes me sad. I will definitely order again. It's cut thick and there was like 28 slices in my package.
USWM- If you like the bacon, but like leaner cuts of bacon please just request leaner cuts in the special notes box. We hope this helps!

I read with interest all the reviews with some loving it and others saying it is too fatty, because I guess it must be in "the eye of the beholder"! I love this bacon -- it cooks up crispy, is delicious and made without sugar; my husband says it's too fatty and he gives some of his at breakfast to the dog. I'm like how can you do that!! It is much too good to give to the dog LOL! Anyway, just goes to show that two members of the same family have a different perception of the same product. Anyway, I guess next time I'll just ask for a leaner cut so that hopefully he will like it as much as I do I'm wondering though if his judgement is off because we use to get honey cured bacon from our meat co-op, and he is just comparing it to that. I will admit that the first time I tried this bacon, I didn't think it had the flavor of the former, but now I LOVE it!! (gave it four stars instead of five to account for hubby's reaction).

Great taste but some packages all fat
I purchased 7 packages in order to meet the weight and spend requirement. Two of the packages were all fat. The packages that weren't all fat tasted great. Seems better quality control is in order in the packaging department.
USWM- We are truly very sorry that you received some packages that were not up to your standard. We advise in the future utilizing that special notes box in your cart before check out and type something like leanest cuts of bacon and that issue will not happen in the future going forward.

Some people complained about this bacon that it's almost all fat. I can't stand bacon that is almost all meat which I see in all stores and even some farms. That's not bacon then. Lean bacon is not bacon! Well, I guess you call lean pork meat "bacon" here because that is what you converted many years ago because fat became not healthy.
It's perfect: fatty (makes it so supper crisp, it melts in your mouth), just right smoky taste, not too salty and no sugar. I get all that fat rendered out of it as well which I drain of and use in my cooking. Oh, fried potatoes in bacon fat...so good! Plantains do fry very well in bacon fat, by the way.
I order for bunch of people and try to pick the fattest bacon I can find leaving leaner packs for others. I just wish you sell whole raw pork belly, so I could cure it myself to be Ukrainian type of bacon.

I have a health condition that puts me on a very limited diet. One of the few safe foods is sugar-free bacon, and I have eaten a ton of it -- ordering about 20 packages at a time. At first, I was super impressed with the quality of this bacon. However, my last shipment, which was maybe 8 months ago, was nearly all fat. It just sits in my freezer. It's a pain to cook because of the fat content, and I would guess that each strip has about 10% meat. Not worth the time to cook.

Really good but sometimes inconsistent
Overall, this is fantastic bacon. That it is never exactly the same from batch to batch is a good thing and then again, not so much a good thing. I love that it has no sugar. I love that it cooks up crispy and very tasty. But as someone who not only needs to avoid sugar, but excess salt, this is a tough one. Bacon is salty. But this stuff is often mildly salty and perfect (I count daily sodium). But sometimes, like the batch I cooked up today tastes at least 3x more salty than the last batch. I am not sure how it can adhere to the nutritional labeling with that kind of difference, but hoping it is close. If I could have a wish fulfilled, it would be that you could offer a low sodium, no sugar pork bacon. I am guessing that more and more folks are watching sodium intake but don't want to miss out on a little bit of bacon in their life. I know. I could skip it. But I'd rather not. Thanks. We've tried other brands but come back to this every single time. This is the best stuff.

The first time I cooked this bacon, I was transported back to our family cabin in Big Bear in the 1960s, where Mom would cook bacon for breakfast. This was back when bacon (and food in general) didn't have all of the garbage and additives they have today. That's why I call it Flashback Bacon.
This bacon tastes the way bacon should taste!! I must warn you that is is addictive. It's simply the best!

I love this bacon. So much so that when it was difficult to get, I would stalk the website on the days it was supposed to restock and buy 5 at a time. The flavor is great and it cooks up nice and crispy. It's even great when reheating it. My favorite way to eat it is with sliced tomato and homemade mayo wrapped in a lettuce leaf. YUM!

Sugar free pork bacon slices
My Dr. recommended this bacon because of diagnosing me with hypoglygemic rebound. This bacon has no nitrates, hormones, sugar, MSG's etc. It taste sooooo good!!! The slices are nice and thick, and after you prepare it, the slice are just right!! Also, U.S. Meats customer service is excellent. The meat always comes frozen, even when it is hot outside.

Some of the best bacon I've ever had....
I absolutely love this bacon. I love the thickness of the slices, the flavor, the ingredients, that the pigs are raised outdoors, everything! It's a shame that grocery stores don't carry bacon from hogs with outdoor access (which makes the fat rich in vitamin D) or even bacon that is cured with only salt. This bacon is proof that none of the flavorings frequently added to bacon are necessary, because this stuff tastes great and it's just pork and sea salt!

While we've loved everything else we've gotten from US Wellness Meats, this bacon is extremely fatty. There is almost no meat on any of the slices! We requested "lean bacon" on the special notes field, so I am very disappointed with what we received.
*From USWM- Thank you for your support! We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback (both positive and negative) and are very sorry for your disappointment with the Pork Bacon Slices. Our freezer team does the best to honor any special requests to the best of their ability. We are sorry we are unable to meet your lean bacon needs. Although you do not enjoy the bacon, we hope you are able to find a local food bank, church, family, friend or animal shelter that may enjoy the blessing of free bacon. We have refunded the six packages of Pork Bacon Slices on your last order. On future orders, you may wish to try less packages of new items so you can determine if your family likes the product and they will work for your dietary needs.

Still the best bacon ever - how I cook it
This bacon is a toofer. You'll get bacon with your eggs, and you'll have bacon grease you can use in other recipes. Saute onions and potatoes in some bacon grease - it is heaven. However, it is important to cook the bacon correctly. Technically, you should think of it as rendering the fat rather than cooking. Use a low temperature and time (20-30 mins) for crispy bacon (my preference). If you like chewy bacon, then use a slightly higher temperature and less time. Also, be aware that the bacon will shrink. It will be about half the size. But it will be delicious. Enjoy!

Just cooked up my first package of the bacon - unbelievable! Cooked the whole package up at once on a heavy skillet and got about 14 fluid oz of bacon grease - YUM. I can't stop eating the stuff and I could have eaten the whole package at one sitting without a doubt. Threw the cooked bacon in the freezer and it makes a great quick snack on the Paleo diet. Fixing to buy in bulk next. Thanks for the great eats!

First of all, may I say that bacon is, as a rule, more fat than meat. If I wanted a lot of meat, I'd buy loin or chop. This bacon tastes exactly like it just came off my Uncle's farm in Indiana. He pastured his hogs as well. I had forgotten what bacon was supposed to smell, and taste like. I use the bacon fat to sauté green beans, and to add to pinto beans for flavor. Besides being so much better for me than store bought, antibiotic infested pork, it has genuine farm taste...yum yum.
Again, thank you USWELLNESS for quality, and healthful products. You rock!!!

I ordered this bacon for the first time a couple months ago. It was so terrific I thought I should write a review but never got around to it. The other day I pulled some regular bacon out of the freezer-- the store brand I used to eat-- and decided to go ahead and use it up. What an amazing difference!!! It tasted so salty that I can't understand why I ever liked it. I had to get rid of it. I'm totally sold on clean Wellness bacon. Also, the fat crisps up so nicely I actually enjoy it. The bonus is that I've learned it's actually good for me.

It does look fatty I agree,however it tastes great and we save the fat for use in cooking. I will always buy this. Somehow I think it looks less fatty after it is cooked. I guess some fat cooks off, and it is clean bacon, so it is worth it.

We've ordered over 40# of this delicious bacon. That said, if I had to express a complaint, it would be that the bacon is so lean that I barely have enough drippings to fry our potatoes and eggs. We try to skim off a Tblsp or two of the drippings daily, to keep in the frig when we need bacon fat, but many times there just isn't enough fat on the bacon to do that. Difficult to understand how others could say the bacon is too fatty. Love that it has no sugar.

Cooked 1lb in the oven over a wire rack and it is amazing. Little shrinkage, cooked evenly and the purest looking bacon fat I've ever seen. Looks like it had been clarified. I hope the other 2lbs I purchased are equally as good!

We cooked up some of this bacon this morning, the grease literally overflowed the grease trap of the griddle. The taste was - well there was hardly any taste other than fat.
My girlfriend is cooking some up to use as sprinkles in salad but three packages of this stuff makes a lot of sprinkles.

The BEST bacon EVER, no kidding!
I made your simply pork and sea salt bacon last night for dinner. My husband is a huge fan of BLTs. Your bacon did not disappoint. In fact, it exceeded all expectation. Thank you for providing US the best of the best.

I love this bacon! Great cooked on the stove or over a camp fire. I crumble it up and add it to salads or eat over a sweet potato. Yum!

Too much fat, almost no meat.
Although this bacon was quite tasty and a plus with no sugar, there was almost no meat in it. If I could guess, it was 85-90% fat. And it definitely DID NOT look like the photo on the website.

I love this bacon! At first I missed the sweet for normally cured bacon. But now, I don't want to live without it. So glad I can have this when we do the Whole30 diet.

No nitrates/nitrites! No sugar! We cook this on cast iron pans in the oven and comes out perfect. We save off the fat to use for cooking later. Whole30 approved too!

I like bacon. A lot. And this is far and away the best bacon I've ever had. Rich flavor is perfect with eggs or on it's own.
