Jimmy Dean Thick Sliced Bacon

Posted Thu May 27, 2010 11:56 am, by judy k. written to Jimmy Dean

Write a Letter to this Company


Yesterday, I purchased Jimmy Dean thick sliced bacon at Safeway in Kingman,Az. I have been buying Jimmy Dean sausage in all forms and flavors for years and have always been happy, so I thought the bacon would be good also.
Wrong! Thick sliced! The slices are so thin you can see through them! They cook up to nothing. I will never purchase bacon by Jimmy Dean again after this purchase. To me the fact that the package says thick sliced when the bacon is this thin is just plain false advertisement!

I would like to see the company stop advertising that this bacon is thick sliced when it isn't. It is not worth the money and really is bad for the company's reputation.

Do they offer thin bacon as well? Maybe the settings on the
manufacturing equipment got messed up, and yours happened to be from a
bad batch...

Hopefully they get back to you.

There sure are a lot of people here who have opinions about what
others should and shouldn't eat.

I think the letter is about whether Jimmy Dean is engaging in false
advertising, not the nutritional merit of eating bacon.

My mom died 4 years ago. She ate bacon, and she read warnings about
all kinds of stuff. I am an adult, and now make my own decisions
about my diet. I like bacon, but don't happen to eat it often. When
I do next, I'll think of the people petrified of enjoying it, and have
an extra slice to celebrate my independence and the ability to decide
what is and isn't good for me.

that all depends on how much of it you eat by PepperElf Fri May 28, 2010 @ 3:52 AM


On another note... by Sheldonrs Fri May 28, 2010 @ 9:48 AM

I had Jimmy Dean bacon once, and didn't like it. I can't remember why
not.

I am not consuming bacon currently, but your letter makes me want to
go out and get some. And then save the fat and cook other stuff in
it.

Is not the Jimmy Dean package see through somewhere, like most bacon
packaging? You can usually tell what you are going to end up with by
looking at the meat and the thickness.

I would suggest not eating bacon, it is awful for your body, as are
most red meats.

"thick sliced" is a very loose term. What is thick? 1/4" 1/16" 1/32"
techically as long as there is something thinner, it can be considered
thick.

I like jimmy dean sausage, I guess this is just another example of
companies should stick to what they know and stop trying to branch out
into other areas.
