A recent survey of the best and worst bacon brands in America revealed that both are available in stores in Illinois.

THE WORST BACON BRANDS IN AMERICA

Whoever said bacon makes everything better must have been straight-up lying or haven't had the chance to try these not-so-great bacon brands.

24/7 Wall Street went through a painstaking effort to figure out the worst bacon brands, and I'm surprised.

For years, the family and I have been bringing home bacon in the form of Hormel Black Label, and what I thought was best alas is not.

Hormel Black Label was "labeled" the second worst bacon in America, saying it "lacks a robust flavor." Stunning, I know.

Anyway, the very worst bacon in America is the Great Value brand.

24/7 Wall Street says, "Great Value's Hickory Smoked Bacon has just 2.3 stars out of a 5-star ranking on Walmart's website. There are 400 1-star reviews...and some customers noted the bacon had turned brown or gray even though it had not reached the expiration date yet."

That is the opposite of high praise for Great Value brand bacon, but you should know better when purchasing generic Walmart products.

WHY DO PEOPLE BUY GREAT VALUE PRODUCTS?

Like most Great Value products, you will save money and sacrifice taste, but some people have no problem with the brand.

How do you feel about Great Value stuff? Are you for or against it?

Great Value brand bacon is available at 136 Supercenters, 14 Discount Stores, 2 Neighborhood Markets, and 25 Sam's Club locations in Illinois.
