COLUMBUS (WCMH) — The country’s bacon reserves are at the lowest level in more than half a century.
The demand for bacon is outpacing the supply and pig farmers just can’t keep up with the world’s appetite for it.
According to the Ohio Pork Board, the U.S. inventory of frozen pork belly is 17.8 million pounds, the lowest since 1957. That’s a decrease of 35.6 million pounds from 2016.
