Reviews and Complaints

THE Hostess powdered donuts I purchased on 01/21/22 were really hard and dried out.

I bought a box of Ho Hoes and one of the wrappers did not have a Ho Ho in it. so there were supposed to be 10 in the box and I only got 9.

My husband and I buy the Hostess donettes at least twice a week and I bought this bag of chocolate frosted mini donuts and found at least 3 that had very little chocolate on them. Needless to say I was disappointed, there is nothing worse than buying chocolate donettes with no chocolate . I find it hard to believe that your QC department didn't catch this. I will continue to buy the mini donettes because they are the best .

I purchased this product 1/17/2022 at Albertsons in Oregon City Oregon. The cardboard package was fully in tact and sealed. I opened the sealed carboard package and emptied the entire 8 baby bundts in a bowl. That is when I seen 2 baby bundts celophane wrapping was not sealed properly and the 2 cakes were exposed to the elements and were hard and dried out.
The sealed cakes were very tasty. Thanks for taking the time to read this

These used to be my FAV. The last two times I've bought them (boxes) I have been sooooooooo disappointed.
The marshmallow is getting thinner and thinner, the cake is hard and dry.
NO MORE Snowballs for me.
What used to be a treat is now miserable to choke down. A waste of money, consistently disappointed with taste and texture these days.: (
Bye Bye Hostess Snowballs!

I bought boxes of mini muffins. Shouldve been 4 in a bag, 20 muffins. There were 2! Huge rip off. Your length requirement in this form it is ridiculous.

I have been purchasing the above products for some time and I always look at the date and buy the item that has the longest date. I am continually disappointed. Purchased on 12/31 at my local Kroger store 2 boxes of the 3 donuts pack with a date of February 23-2022. I thought this is great they should be really fresh, but to my disappointment they were not. I purchased a bag of the powered donuts on 1/6/2022 and the expiration date was [protected]. Thought I would try the bag instead of the pre-packaged one. Again to my disappointment they were not fresh. I really like the convenience of the 3 package but based on my experience with this particular product I will try to see if I can find a product that is fresh and hopefully no disappoint me.
Thank you for reviewing my compliant. I am sure that I am not the only one that feels the same way. When you expect freshness and are disappointed
its time to look for an alternative.

I have bought 3 boxes of your twinkies in sainsbury store in England. In each box I found that the first one out at an end was mouldy. I have enclosed photo. I normally put these in my sons lunch and I'm glad that I spotted it as he may not have and actually ate it. This is not one box but 3. It has really turned me off of them now as if I buy more are they also going to be mouldy

Brought Hostess Ding Dongs from Kroger in Jackson Mi. 12-30-21. Have ate 3 now and they did have only like a finger tip of cream filling in every one of the 3 of them. I thought maybe it was just one but it was all so far. Are that how they are making them now. Because, others and me will not be buying them. And the price has gone up too. So, if I could get a refund for them or something I would appreciate it. Because, I buy them for the cream filling taste. If, you are cheaply filling them, that is a little to little. Very disappointed.

I purchased my pkgs of donettes this morning (12.27.21) on my way into work at Hy-Miler gas station *(990 w main st crestline oh 44827). I love my frosted donettes! I also purchased a coffee drink. After I gassed up, I got in and opened my donettes & drink. I had taken some medicine right before I left my home, and when I tasted the first donette, I thought it tasted funny. Kinda metallicy - and thought it was from my medicine. Took a swig of my coffee and it tasted as I expected. Ate the 2nd donette and thought, wow, that flavor is not right, but still attributed it to the medicine. Drank several swigs of coffee to wash the flavor out and bit into my 3rd donette. UGH! It was awful - tasted like chemicals. So I stopped eating them and at the next stoplight I looked at the next donette and saw it had what looked like white hair on it. So that is why I am writing this complaint. The best by date is December 13, 2021 - only 2 weeks ago and lets be honest, preservatives are what they are. As I got the 3 remaining pieces out of the package, the chemical smell really hit my nose.
It was such a bummer to start my day like this but thought you should know about it.

I bought a box of Cream Cheese Coffee cakes today 12-15-2021 and there was only 7cakes in the box isstead of 8 like it was suppose to have. Thanks.

Outdated product

Bought a box on 12/5/21, didn't realize until I was home eating them that the expiration date was November 23, 2021...I noticed the chocolate frosting glistening in the light and realized they are expired and going bad...I didnt receive a receipt at the store so now I cannot even return them but not like they would take them anyhow since we started to eat them...can I get some help with this issue?

Purchased from a b&m store yesterday. I was half way through eating one and my daughter was close to taking a bite from one before I had noticed the green mould in and around the cake, I would please like a refund and a possible recall on this batch, I've been left feeling really unwell from ingesting part of the rotten twinkie. Batch number is attached below

My names Bobbi Nash and On December 2nd at 1145 am i got some donuts from loves on 144th st. Bit into one and found a metal piece. Hurt my bottom teeth. My numbers [protected] thank you.

We eat this product regularly but the last 4 bags we have purchased have an odd taste and smell. Not edible.

Purchased on the 28/11/21
I've shown the date on the product that's clearly in date, opened the package ate 1 of the twinkies
When i looked down I saw green mould on the other twinkies. The packets were sealed so unsure how it happened 🤮 feel sick to my stomach
Green and spoilt please can you resolve this problem with a solution asap as this is not acceptable

Hello, I purchased 2 boxes of your twinkies on the 26th of November 2021. I bought them from Primark as I'm a huge fan of them. Ofcourse I had 3 the first night and they were delicious but when I got some more out the box the next day I saw that 4 of them had mould on them. This is unacceptable and I'm very disappointed. I would like this matter resolved please and expect and outcome of this matter.
