Hotel Chain Bans Bacon And Sausages ‘For Health Reasons’

A backlash against bacon and sausages seems to have begun in the wake of the World Health Organisation’s warning over health risks.

A Norwegian hotel chain with more than 150 outlets has ‘banned’ bacon and sausages outright from its breakfast buffet. .

Perhaps understandably, people aren’t too happy - with some hotel workers voicing the opinion that bacon and eggs should be a standard part of any hotel breakfast.

The Comfort Hotels group operates 170 hotels across Scandinavia, and has also 'reduced' the amount of cereals and cheese on offer.

The group's owner Petter Stordalen told newspaper Hegnar that he believed that customers 'will appreciate a good, healthy start to the day'.

Reactions from customers have been ‘mixed’, staff have admitted in interviews, after the scheme launched in hotels in Sweden.

In one of the group's Swedish outlets, a worker said, 'Personally, I think bacon and scrambled eggs should be the standard in a hotel breakfast.'
