LEBANON, Pa. —
Godshall's Quality Meats in Lebanon now holds the Guinness World Record for the longest piece of turkey bacon.
The strip had to be at least 16.6 feet long. The company's slice measured in at 17 feet and 3/4 inches.
An official surveyor and judge from the Guinness was on-site to certify the record on Wednesday.
The piece took more than six hours to cook in a smokehouse oven that's 25 feet long and 10 feet wide.
"We looked at this as we're one of the largest turkey bacon manufacturers in the country, and we have to go big or go home. With it being the longest day of the year, why not make the longest slice?" company president Ron Godshall said.
In order to be 100% official, the turkey bacon had to be eaten. Godshall's hosted a BLT luncheon, and the rest will be donated to Lebanon County Christian Ministries.
