Report: Nation's Bacon Supplies Running Low
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- If you enjoy you morning bacon, you're not going to like this story.
Reportedly, the nation's bacon reserves are running low -- the lowest in half a century.
The Ohio Pork Council says demand for frozen pork belly, which is frequently used to make bacon, is outpacing supply.
Simply put, there are not enough piggies going to market to keep up with demand, even though pig farmers are producing more pigs than ever.
