It's so small you need to carry a magnifying glass to read it.This sort of product should have a large red warning label on it.WARNING~~~~~~~~THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS A HIGH LEVEL OF WATER & WILLSHRINK TO LESS THAN HALF IT'S UNCOOKED SIZE DURING THE COOKING PROCESS Is anyone stupid enough to think bacon will not shrink? do you really need a warning to tell you that?
I have to agree with Andrew.

Of course I expect meat to shrink when cooked, but I don't expect to pay for a package of water, when I was expecting bacon.The food industry does inject water into some products (bacon & chicken for example) to give it the appearance of being more than is actually there.This practice should be stopped. It's nothing short of fraud.
What I am loyal to is not the supermarket (did you not see how I described their product?) I am loyal to the idea that adults should make their own decisions in the light of the available information and if they make a mistake they should accept responsibility for it.
I don't tolerate meat shrinking myself. You need to whip these people into shape!
