Finnebrogue Reviews 15

I bought a pack of 12 Wagyu beef meatballs. They are gluten free, but that's about the only plus! When I make meatballs I add a small amount of breadcrumbs and an egg to bind the mixture with, to make them more succulent. There was none of that in these, but there was chickpea flour, rice flour and cornflour, so they were very firm, and to be honest, not 'beefy' or tasty! Won't bother again!

I always buy their sausages and bacon, even though they are always over priced and not that great tasting, I eat them for one reason. They are free of nitrates supposedly! My favourite sausages are porky wgites but until they wake up to killing their customers, I will have to stick with Finnebrogue. Recently I bought a few packs and the sausages shrunk in that pan by 1/3rd from 9cm to under 6cm. I was flabberghasted as I have bought these over priced sausages for years. So I wrote to them and sent photo evidence. They said they would speak to the manufacturers and get back to me, 2 weeks later nothing. Not heard a peep! Ridiculous!

It is for all ages. There was a grandfather there with his grandson so it suits all ages.

Massive shoutout to George and Adan for the warm welcome and expert knowledge.

See you guys soon

Tried the naked sausage. Just tastes like nutmeg. Either they paid off the tasters or a nutmeg representative paid them off. Why? When there is so many better flavours in the world why you choose these flavour profiles? Even just plain pork with salt and pepper would be better. Gross.

My wife and I have been buying their deli ham for a while now, based on it originally being just pork and salt. My wife is basically allergic to unnecessary additives, and I'm not a great fan of them either. She had a couple of slices of their deli ham yesterday and had an upset stomach right afterward. So we checked the ingredients again and were disappointed to see that sugar has now been added to the meat. What do you need sugar in meat for? And potato starch? Also, its not specific what the natural flavourings are. On their website they say Mediterranean dried fruit and spices without being specific as to what these are. The upshot is that the product is not quite 'naked' any more, is it? The beauty of truly natural meat is that it should really only require the absolute minimum of ingredients, which is why we were attracted to the product in the first place. Not any more.

Switched a few months ago due to being nitrate free. Nothing wrong with taste if you can actually cook the bacon. It's very thin so can fall apart just trying to peel the rashers apart. We have also experienced it being so full of water the rashers end up less than half the size when cooked and they also fall apart leaving cooked bacon bits rather than rashers. I guess a lot of this is to balance the supermarket pressures with production costs. Sadly swapping back to our butchers bacon as a balance between fully nitrate free and general supermarket poor quality. We gave it a fair go.

I’d like to tell you how delicious their bacon is. But I can’t. Because it is cut so ridiculously thin that it literally fell apart in my hands and was uncookable. My loss was the waste bin’s gain.
Not my usual brand. My wife bought it by mistake but I was happy to give it a go. Never again. Utter rubbish.

Their naked bacon in pack of 6 slices is ridiculous . There is a reason they present it like rhis . To look more ! It is so thin it’s impossible to separate and as another reviewer said it’s literally as thin as Parma ham . Waste of money and for a refund off Sainsbury’s.

Appealing offer and packaging but oh dear.. awful sausages. The taste of these sausages is weird, not in a nice way. Overwhelming taste of nutmeg (how is that a complimentary spice?) and little else.

Very thin slices impossible to separate all stuck together. Very thin hardly thicker than Parma ham! Full of water. Waste of money.

Most disgusting job I ever had, they wouldn’t let you take a breaks. And investigate you if you are 1 minute late or if you take too many breaks don’t care if you’ve got diabetes or asthma, you are treated the same you are unpaid for breaks and they will not let you take holidays at all. Do not recommend.

I was looking for nitrite free bacon and saw a YouTube review which praised your bacon. I purchased the Naked Unsmoked Back Bacon and it was delicious. Needless to say, it will now become my bacon of choice and I can recommend it to anyone looking for a nitrite free bacon sandwich!

Healthier options in environmentally bad packaging doesn't bode well. The plastic film on the bacon packets does not peel back, it splits and tears making recycling very difficult, especially for those who recycle film. Either way the packaging is hard to wash and so this product should be avoided. I don't think this company is ethical at all.

I stopped buying this bacon it's always full of water
I tried it again after about 9 months and still the same even when I dry it off
When I complained to customer service they were not interested did not get a refund or vouchers.....
So not a good company for customer service

Naked Bacon was so injected with water that it fell apart like wet tissue paper just getting it out of the pack. How can it be naked if injected with water?

The firm failed to respond to my complaint email.

Their mission statement "The best it can be" I don't think so. Avoid.
