It's $9.99 for 8oz of their bacon. Walmart sells 16oz of real bacon for $4.98. So it's roughly 4x the price of regular bacon. Prime Roots' price could go down as they scale and improve their process, but it'll be awhile before they can compete head to head on price with factory farmed pigs.

Why not call it mushroom bacon? The same way we did with other non-pig bacons like turkey bacon or beef bacon.

It's also the most popular bacon sold in America. Grocery stores are all about price.

Marketing. People who care about buying non-GMO foods will like this, and people who don't care about GMOs... well don't care. The group of people who actively seek out GMOs is really small relative to the combined number of people who either dislike GMOs or are indifferent.
