Love this Bacon Seasoning.

This Bacon Seasoning is so good. I put it on my green beans last night and everyone loved them. I plan on using this seasoning on everything and will be ordering some more in the near future. You made a great product. And it's healthy too. Love my Bacon Seasoning.

Very poor customer service

Very poor customer service. I wrote an email and got a patronising response. So I tried to politely point out the experience to one of the founders who also ignored me.

Very sad as the product isn’t too bad

Gross

One word: horrible. I bought cheesy bacon, maple bacon and vegan cheese and it tastes the way cigarette ash smells. Kind of acrid and very sharp (not spicy). I tried it on its own and on food. No succes either way. There isn't even a HINT of either bacon, maple syrup or cheese in the products which is remarkable - in a very bad way.
I sincerely don't recommend it. The company's marketing is great and that's the only reason it sells.

do not waste your money…

I'm gobsmacked by any postive review for this product.
It does not taste like bacon, it tastes powdery. It takes like the bits at the end of a packet of bacon crisps. Would you sprinkle the bits at the end of a packet of bacon crisps on real food? No.
It makes all food tastes worse. I've added it to spaghetti dishes- Bleugh. I've added it to pizza- bleugh. I added it to salad... disgusting.

Sucked in by adverts, the adverts are very good. They must have paid a lot of actors a lot of money to pretend to like it. That or they've hired people with no taste buds.

I'm vegetarian and have tried many fake meat products over the years. Honest to goodness this is the absolute worst.

False advertising at its finest

They need to stop advertising their product as "tastes like the real thing" because nothing they have advertised in that way lives up to that claim. Should be sued for false advertising

Blecch!

Whoever thinks that this tastes like bacon has never eaten bacon. Would love to meet the person on Shark Tank who invested $300,000 on this junk. I have a bridge that I'd like to talk to them about.

Staggeringly nothing like bacon.

As many people who have not enjoyed this product, I was won over by the slick marketing. Luckily I brought it in a sale so I saved some money. The taste is so far from bacon it's incredible, considering its the products selling point. In fact unless you use a lot of it there is very little taste at all. However there is a strong smell, which I find very unpleasant.

I really can't see why this product gets such good feed back from so many people. Did I get a poor batch?

Either way, I won't be purchasing it again. Maybe that's the MO of Deliciou; overcharge first time around as there won't be a second?

Amazing!

Wanted a vegan option because I really miss my bacon. Here it is! Many flavours for all kinds of food. Sprinkle it on and enjoy the tastebud tickle!

Incredibly offensive. In the bin.

The inflated price was no issue as marketing had convinced me this was the holy grail of bacon flavouring. I genuinely believed my food would be transformed into the smoky bacon crisp experience. Simple.
Wow it’s horrific. I’ve just wheelie binned both tubs, original and maple. It’s like molten plastic & chemicals with a pink colour. I mean…. Intolerable. Foul. Offensive.

How utterly disappointing! The man throwing his head back in eye rolling appreciation!! What was HE eating?

It's actually disgusting

It's actually disgusting, I was definitely expecting something better. It's like a dry floury like powder which you can feel in your mouth, I suppose that's maltodextrin, it basically tastes like a dry instant soup , doesn't remind taste of bacon at all, I was expecting something smokey and umami but it's just like salty flour. Taster and healthier is to use any regular herbs I'd say. The packaging looks nice on the photos but it's the cheapest tackyest I've ever seen. Won't purchase again..

MAJOR RIP-OFF

MAJOR RIP-OFF. TOOK ALMOST 2 MONTHS FOR DELIVERY, I BOUGHT 5 DIFFERENT JARS OF BACON FLAVORED AND NONE OF THEM HAD ANY BACON FLAVOR. I AM SURE THE GOOD REVIEWS WERE WRITTEN BY FAMILY, FRIENDS OR EMPLOYEES. I WAS DISAPPOINTED AS I REALLY WANTED THEM TO WORK.

1000%worth it

This is hands down the best plant-based protein on the planet. The flavor is spot on and the product is very versatile. Plus you can further season it to any style of dish you want. We have used it for nachos, patties, kabobs, and even in soups. 10/10 recommend!

If this tastes like bacon

If this tastes like bacon, I'll kiss the north end of a southbound skunk. I was terribly disappointed. This is terrible and leaves a bad aftertaste. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Original bacon

in my opinion
deliciou original bacon seasoning tastes like wotsits crumbs mixed with frazzle crumbs and has a salty bitter after taste.
