Never had that problem . ..  . bacon gets all fried and eaten. On a serious note, bacon is cured, so shouldn't it last for ever ( or there abouts)?

 Another thought, when ever we do prepare (fry, microwave or oven cook) bacon, we do all of the pkge. If - big if, there is any left over, it's saved in the fridge and used on salads, other dishes or reheated (microwave). Keeps the mess at bay that way . . . .
