Vlasic Zesty dill pickles spears

I just purchased two jars of zesty dill pickle spears and the color and consistency is different. Both unopened and one jar is very dark and loosely packed compared to the bright green contrast of the other jar. With canning knowledge the unopened jar looks unsafe to eat. Please explain why the same product can be different? We love your product and hope you see our concern.
Thank you graciously.

Vlasic polish dill spears

best date=Feb. -16 -221 18:[protected]
& best date=Feb-16-22 23:[protected]
Always buy more than one jar at a time
We love pickles
Opened new jar & served
OMG ... A strong chemical taste & smell
No one could eat them so we opened the next jar & it has the very same strong chemical smell and taste
I can't determine if a stronger preservative was used or what
Nasty to smell & left aftertaste in mouth

Is it the entire batch? What happened?
We are now on limited income & don't want to waste our $
There are some quality we refuse to give up and getting Vlasic pickles is one of them but please see if anyone else is complaining. Maybe something went wrong in the processing

Desired outcome: Refund for 2 of the 24 oz jars

Vlasic Vlasic kosher dill spears

It's not right to sale things that aren't right, this jar was half full and pickels at top of jar, filmed it and pickels floated to bottom air coming out of jar with water, looks like company cutting corners to save money, all jars at this store the same, I paied for a full jar not half, really upset to the point to get from another supplier. I have always enjoyed these pickels for years, but I fill being cheated, and looks like consumer fraud. Just hurt for all these companies trying to save a buck for what has been going on lately. Can't even send one picture said to big🤔🤨🤭🤥🤑😪

Desired outcome: Fix problems be honest, our sale smaller jars

Vlasic Classic Kosher Dill Wholes 32 FL OZ

I buy these for my husband, for myself I love love the Zesty Spears (No Problem with these). My husband after years and years of buying the Kosher Dill Wholes has noticed the jars seem to contain less product and more fluid. The last two jars I bought for him both had 6 with most ranging around 2 to 3 inches. The pickles were definitely floating free. Has the packaging changed? Or quality control standards changed? We love Vlasic and will continue purchasing our favorites. The products still have the same great taste. Thank you

Desired outcome: We had both watched something about employees in grocery stores or from the company. We want to make sure that is not the case. Thank you.

Vlasic Farmer's Garden Kosher Dill Spears

The ONLY place I've ever seen Vlassic Farmer's Garden Pickles was Wal-mart, which hasn't had them since around Christmas 2020. I've checked w/in a 20 mile radius. All Wal-Marts are out and claim discontinued and unavailable. I loved them! I know better than to ask for your "pickling recipe, " but could you please provide me with either those primary spices unique (or in different proportions, ) which sets that variety apart, so I can start putting them into your regular high quality Kosher Dill Spears and begin experimenting on my own - OR - Could you please provide me the location and phone # of a grocery store within a 20 mile radius of Wickliffe, OH (Zip Code 44092, ) who does stock them, in the event they are not discontinued?

Desired outcome: provide me with either those primary spices unique (or in different proportions,) which sets that variety apart, so I can start putting them into your regular high quality Kosher Dill Spears

I cannot open the jar.
It is so tight that nothing works, I even tried the Jar opener gripper, and sliding knife into threads of the lid. The crashing sound and the glass is crunching off, but nothing. My husband could not open it either with same things.
Please be so kind to to refund my money.
I bought them in Giant for $4.69
I can return them if your wish, please
Thank you, your loyal customer
Anna

Desired outcome: refund $4.69

Vlasic bread and butter spears

I usually enjoy your products and have purchased the bread and butter slices before, but my spouse bought the spears and when I ate the first one I got the "artificial sweetener aftertaste" recoil. It was so strong, it overpowered the flavor of the pickle. Even though the label brags of the lack of artificial dyes and flavors, it does NOT mention the inclusion of the artificial sweetener sucralose. I will always check for this when buying your products in the future and if it is there, I will switch to a competitor's product. It tastes awful.

Desired outcome: Offer the product without artificial sweetener or al least inform to customer of its presence in a more visible manner.

Vlasic Flacid mushy Kosher Dill Wholes

I just purchased my third 32oz jar of these pickles in a month from my local Krogers. This is the third of the three jars where the pickles are simply "flacid" and mushy! FYI, the sell by date of this jar is May-01-22. For the price of these once great crunchy gerkins you should be ashamed.

Vlasic Classic Stackers Bread & Butter

Complained about this product before but decided to try it again! Ridiculous how you sell these pickles. Scrapes from the ends of the cucumber. For the price of these pickels the contents should be perfect . Those ends should not be used. I know it's done by machines, but I'm sure someone inspects the jars!
I tried to support your company but will no longer do so.
Please don't send me any coupons because I will no longer by this product!

I have found the same thing. For the first time I have purchased a jar of the Vlasic Stackers Bread & Butter and found about 90% of the product was the outer slices of the cucumbers. Only about 10% were nice slices usable on sandwiches. I will be switching brands which is sad as I have been a Vlasic customer for a very long time.

Vlasic Snack'mms pickles

September 15, 2020

I found this wood chip in the bottom of the pickle jar. I googled it and found that this has happened to others. This is unacceptable! Where is the quality control of your products? I love vlasic brand of pickles and never buy anything else. I will definitely have to think twice about buying them again. How does a piece of wood get into a jar of pickles?

Vlasic Sweet baby whole pickles

Dear Production Staff:
My husband and I love Vlasic Pickles and usually buy the Sweet Baby Whole pickles because we love the small size of the pickle, they are so crunchy, and are just the right sweet/sour combination. When opening the newest jar, I pulled out a pickle and it was way too big for the Sweet Baby Whole pickle jar. It was bent, broken, and a little mushy. (Please see the attached photo). We had been entirely satisfied before this incident, but wanted to bring this to your attention. Please only use baby cucumbers if you are going to call them Sweet Baby Whole.
The information on the jar is as follows:
16 oz, best by March 20-21 21:2A [protected]
Thank you for your time and attention to this problem.

Vlasic Old fashioned sauerkraut

Opened a jar of sauerkraut and heated it up. Put some on a plate took a bit and found a chunk of wood in it. Do not ask me to send the piece of wood back with the jar of Vlasic Old fashion sauerkraut For I will not let this go over for many reasons. This could of harmed someone like choking or could have bit down and stuck in to the mouth or broken teeth. Will be contacting a lawyer and will get further assistance from them.

Vlasic Farmer's garden

I absolutely LOVE these Farmer's Garden Krosher Dill Spears and have always been very satisfied. They remind me of grandma's homemade pickles. However today when I opened a new jar, I found a long black hair inside. I am very sad to find this. I spend the extra money to buy these since they are so good. I now have to throw this whole jar away. I always have a back up jar and this was it. Very disappointed. I do understand things happen.

Vlasic Vlasic stackers

This is the second jar purchased of inferior quality. The first jar were ALL Outside skin slices, no insides. Could not place on a sandwich which is the intent.

Gave another chance and this jar the slices were not even sliced through. Had to remove and cut them apart. The skins were tough. Why the poor quality? Will have to switch brands, if there is no quality control. Do supply Walmart with inferior products?
Wpuld like a suitable replacement.

Vlasic Baby dills

I got to the bottom of the jar to find a piece off wood. The jar didn't seem to be full to begin with but I was in a hurry at Walmart and didn't think to much about it until I opened the jar. I'm very disappointed and grossed out. I've never had any problems before and feel like you should make this right and keep your wood in the factory. So irritated!

Vlasic Faulty vlasic pickle jar resulting in injury

Instead of the lid coming off when opening this jar of pickles, the glass completely shattered resulting in a severe cut on my palm. I am a 110 lb female and the glass should not break that easily. This landed me in the emergency room, took me out of work, and restricted my daily activities. I now have a medical bill, unpaid time off of work, and the hassle of taking care of this injury. If this jar broke while a small child was trying to open it, the injury would have been even worse. I will definitely be looking into this further.

I purchased a jar of these suppose to be delicious the best pickles ever for my customers on October 10, 2019 which today is October 25th and the inspiration date is August 2022. It has been only two weeks I've had this jar! They have clavered! Spoiled and smells really bad! I've had only one customer to complain about their sandwich and I checked all around my products to see what could've caused them to get sick! This is beyond disgusting! Don't think I'll ever purchase these again!

Hi Alexa, Vlasic customer service here. Are you sure you weren't a little upset at the time of opening the jar? Maybe you "hit" something with it? I know the jars can sometimes be a bit difficult to open, causing me to get frustrated and do things I shouldn't in order to open the jar.

Thanks!

No. I was opening it like I would any other jar. The glass caved while my hand was twisting the lid. It should not have broken like that.

Thank you for clarifying. Happy to help.
I have contacted the factory responsible for manufacturing the jars and they said they don't think it was their fault, as their jars are known to be the best around. They said they hope you have the fastest recovery possible and that all is well. In the meantime, please enjoy this coupon for $2 off your next Vlasic purchase.
