There is a Bacon Shortage in the U.S., Pork Industry Says We Shouldn’t Worry
Demand for bacon in the U.S. is up, causing a shortage in frozen pork belly supplies. Pork bellies are the cut that bacon is made from. Despite the depleted supply, pork industry experts are trying to calm breakfast lovers everywhere down, saying they are confident they can boost hog supply enough to avoid serious shortages. The bad news is, because of supply and demand, bacon prices are likely to rise this winter. The good news is we will wont miss out on any B.L.T's or bacon with our eggs.
