It depends on the cut. Bacon sold commercially in supermarkets has a fat content that varies from 10% to 20% on up to 80% to 90% or so. Anyone who has taken a minute or two to look through a number of packages can tell you that some may appear to be quite lean while many are well over 50% fat. There are variations on the theme, and if shoppers want to pay for something like, say, center cut bacon, they will, in general, get a leaner product. The best idea is still to look through the packages and choose one that presents what you consider the best package there. Even meat markets will have bacon that varies in fat content with most of the butchers attempting to provide a "middle of the road" product with a bit lower ratio of fat to lean.
