FAQs

Q: What makes BACON 1™ a better option than cooking bacon from raw?
A:

BACON 1™ removes the raw prep cycle. No batch cooking at the start of the shift, no monitoring to avoid burning, no pans to scrub. Raw bacon also carries a grease overhead that goes beyond the case cost — pans, floors, hoods, and filters all require regular cleaning. Independent testing shows BACON 1™ produces up to 95% less grease than raw bacon when heated.* When your team needs bacon, they heat it to order and serve it.
*Based on independent testing comparing raw 18/22 foodservice bacon to HORMEL® BACON 1™ Perfectly Cooked Bacon.

Q: How does it compare to other fully cooked bacon on the market?
A:

Most fully cooked bacons look pre-cooked — thin slices that read as a shortcut on the plate. HORMEL® BACON 1™ is 100% hardwood smoked and uses a proprietary cooking process to deliver the flavour, bite, and appearance of bacon cooked from raw. The slices match the cooked thickness of 18/22 raw bacon and hold their texture, so they perform the same way a fresh-cooked slice would — visually and in the eating.

Q: How quickly does it heat, and what equipment does it need?
A:

On a flat top it heats quickly with minimal prep time. A convection oven takes 4 minutes. No special equipment needed — it works on what you’re already running. Because it’s fully cooked, there’s no monitoring; your team heats it to order rather than staging it hours in advance.

Q: Can it be served center-of-plate or in premium applications?
A:

It’s a natural fit for high-expectation applications. The smoking and cooking process deliver the flavour and appearance of bacon cooked to order — the same snap, texture, and visual appeal. HORMEL® BACON 1™ works well in benedict builds, premium sandwiches, and brunch menus where bacon carries the dish rather than just supports it.

Q: How does it hold during a long service?
A:

It holds without drying out — whether in a hot sandwich or through an extended brunch service. That’s where a high-standard fully cooked bacon earns its place: a product that heats well but falls apart on the line won’t save you labour. HORMEL® BACON 1™ is built to perform through the conditions a working kitchen actually runs.

Q: What allergens does this product contain in Canada?
A:

No allergens are declared for this product. Ingredients: Pork, Water, Salt, Sugar, Sodium phosphate, Sodium diacetate, Sodium erythorbate, Flavour, Sodium nitrite, Smoke. Confirm current allergen and label information against the product spec sheet or with your Hormel Foodservice representative before use.
