Sanderson Farms
Reviews and Complaints

The last 3 times I have bought Sanderson Farms chicken wings I have had to come home and pluck feathers off of them and discard the bruised ones. Is there no one from the USDA inspecting these wings? I am so disappointed because I love to support my home state but gosh I feel like I am wasting my money. It seems my only choice though since I only have 1 grocery store in my hometown. It seems I will have to drive 30 miles away to another grocery store just to buy my chicken. I would really love an explanation on how this is happening. How is getting a stamp of approval and being sent out of the door?

I putchased 2 pack at Walmart, brought it home and smoked 1 of them in smoker. When we sliced it open to serve it was discussing on the inside and looked like an internal injury inside the chicken and we had to throw it out. The last time I bought a Sanderson farm chicken I opened package and it was rotten. Never again will I buy Sanderson farm chicken! Gross!

Hi
We recently on Friday December 15th
Bought a pack of you boneless skinless chicken Breast fillets w/ ribmeat. At the winco on state street in eagle Idaho.
the next day for dinner I cut up half the pack of chicken into about an inch long pieces. Washed battered and cooked them in a pan... And fed it to my family of 8..

MIND YOU I HAD JUST PREVIOUSLY BEEN GIVING EVERY BITE I CHEWED UP TO MY SON! That
Is why I was the most upset... even though I felt like I cracked my molars chewing expecting not to find a bone in the boneless chicken.. that is why we buy the boneless chicken.. so I know accidents happen but honestly this could have been much worse than me cracking my teeth or choking

This is the second time in 2 months I have purchased your chicken livers from my local Walmart and both times they have been green and diseased. I had pictures last time but they were so disgusting that I finally deleted them. I carried back the livers last time and got my money back.
It has been over a month and after seeing all of your "we take care" commercials, I convinced myself that it must have been a rare thing, so today I bought them again and these are as bad as the others This time I want to let you know and I do have pictures. The pictures don't do the livers justice, however. The dark places in the pictures are dark, slimy, green. These will be going back to the store in the morning.

My name is Roger J. Paige I am employee of the St. Pauls, NC sanitation department. I am filing this complaint because I have been unjustly and vindictively suspended on September 20th, 21st and the 22nd. On the 20th I was told I received a NR on my table in the rehang area. I asked to see the NR and the trainee/supervisor Melvin told me he would show it to me after I can back from suspension, but has yet to produce the NR. After speaking with assistant plant manager Carl Moss this morning 9/26/2017 he informed me that he had no knowledge of the NR or my suspension and recommended that I file this complaint. As an employee I feel that this is a continuous retaliation against me concerning my previous complaint against my previous supervisor. I am looking to receive the NR on file or being compensated for my lost wages due to an unjustified suspension.

I found human hair in my family package of thighs and was so grossed out I threw it away and fed my family pancakes for Dinner. I always liked Sanderson Farms products in the past but I am seriously considering changing brands. This really was so nasty! And there is always so much hidden fat and ski that it is not a bargain when you have to throw almost half away for healthy reasons!

Thanks for your response, which response misunderstood the reason for my contact to you. Please don't do that again. I am telling you that what I saw at Winco Medford Oregon 1/2/16 a package of chicken drumsticks wherein the legs were badly bruised; an indication of animal abuse while they were alive? I did not buy it, I don't want a refund, and my experience was okay. I didn't need t be hospitalized for it. Nobody needs to apologize for my experience. I am a stable person who doesn't go off my rocker because I see what appears to be animal abuse. I am just letting you know this may be an issue and to please look into it. And let me know you have and why you think this happened. Just a concerned consumer. Please don't give me a robo response again. Thanks.

Do not buy Anderson Farms brand chicken! Not even if it's buy one
Get one free. It is a rip off! So much skin and fat hidden on the underside
of the packages, ridiculous! I have pictures, but cant upload them for some reason

The chicken they package is a gigantic rip off. The fat and scrap they leave on the chicken makes me furious. There is a deliberate effort to fold over the hanging skin and fat under the best part of the chicken. For what I have to pay for their garbage, it's absurd. Never again will purchase anything packed by sanderson farms . .
