(Missouri Digital News) -- A bacon shortage in the U.K. left many Americans worried the popular meat might become scarce in the U.S. as well.
Missouri Pork Association Executive Director Don Nikodim said Americans do not have to worry about a shortage, but bacon prices may increase due to the drought.
The drought has led to an increase in the price of feed for pigs.
Nikodim said it is too soon to know how high the price of bacon will rise.
"Just enjoy bacon, enjoy it often and go out and stock up if you think you need to," Nikodim said.
The drought will likely affect bacon and other pork product prices next year.
