AUSTIN, MINN. — Hormel Black Label is introducing an oven-ready thick-cut bacon. The bacon will come equipped with an oven-safe tray, according to the company.

The new product follows the release of the Black Label Cinnamon Toast Bacon in September.

“As a brand that’s always been at the forefront of bacon innovation, we wanted to bring our consumers a product that makes enjoying our signature Hormel Black Label bacon even more convenient,” said Aly Sill, senior brand manager for Hormel Black Label bacon. “With oven-ready, thick-cut bacon, it’s never been easier to enjoy the unmatched flavor of Hormel Black Label bacon. Our oven-safe tray delivers eight perfectly cooked slices, every single time.”

The new product is available regionally, with plans for an expansion set for 2025, according to Hormel.
