\"Appleton<\/a>Appleton Farms is one of the in-house brands for the Aldi grocery chain. \u00a0I’ve written a lot of posts about Aldi<\/a> products, which I generally find to be of good quality and terrific value. \u00a0Their fully cooked bacon is no exception, a package of which sells generally for less than two bucks. \u00a0I’ve become a convert to pre-cooked, you can usually find one brand or another on sale for less than the raw product, plus you know exactly what you are getting, meaning, you don’t open a package and find pieces that are mostly fat, mostly broken and the like. \u00a0There is some really crappy bacon out there.<\/p>\n

This was flavorful and the slices come staggered on wax paper, so they are easy to remove. \u00a0You can serve nice intact whole slices, or chop\/cut as desired.<\/p>\n

The contract manufacturer that Aldi uses for this product, is Shelby County Cookers, out of \u00a0Harlan, IA, about \u00a070 miles west of Des Moines and 10 miles north of I-80.<\/p>\n

Shelby because a subsidiary of Monogram Foods<\/a> a couple years ago. \u00a0Monogram has its own brands and makes some licensed product, too. They are big in the meat snack business.<\/p>\n

Picture of the Shelby plant below. \u00a0Yes, I’d buy this again.<\/p>\n
