Stale Product and Poor Value
596178
I was disappointed with this product. The peanuts tasted stale and it was not worth the price. This was a poor value and I would not recommend this product.

The product I received has an expiration date from two years ago: 5/2015. Kibble smelled rancid. Excluded from return. Stay away and order from a different distributor!

The product is old, almost expiring  and taste horrible and very stale. You shouldn't sell a product like that.

I have been enjoying these crackers for a couple of years.  In August I received a shipment in which some of the cracker packs smelled and tasted terrible.  The smell reminded me of paint thinner.  I allowed my subscription to send another 2 cases in October.  The date on the cases is Nov 30.  I opened one box from each of the cases, and they both have the stale paint thinner type odor.  I e-mailed Health Valley a week ago on their web site, but received no response.  I am very disapointed in what used to be a good product.

The product they sold me was old & stale...powder was dried up into a giant "chunk" as opposed to loose powder. I tried to "mix" it but would not dissolve in water & I was afraid to even take a sip. Gross. The pouches were unopened, so had not been exposed to air or moisture...but must have just been very old & spoiled. Every pouch in the box was like this. Had to throw away.  I have purchased many other flavor mixes from True Lemon/True Citrus drink mixes ( such as their Lemonade, cherry-limeade, etc), all sold by Amazon, & had never had this problem before...were always fresh & great.  So, I guess the Apple Medley flavor sold to me was a bad batch. A little annoyed that they would sell a product that is clearly expired/spoiled. Guess the company wanted to make sure they didn't lose that $2.89 in profits by throwing away old product.

Stale quality with a bad stench. There are other organic Cashews that Amazon sells which not only tastes good but are fresh too.

I've bought these pineapple Crunchies in my local grocery store and they were good (though very expensive at about 6 bucks per serving). So when I ordered the six-pack of them here, I expected them to taste just as good. That was not the case at all. The outside of each package was sticky but that didn't bother me much. What bothered me is that the actual product itself was stale. Each piece (in 4 of the 6 bags I opened) was rubbery. Chewing the Crunchies only compressed it into a solid wad of what then seemed like hard plastic. The result was something that simply could not be broken up and swallowed. I also noticed that the built-in ziplock seal didn't work on these bags. After 4 bags, I tossed out the rest and contacted the manufacturer via email (twice). I never received a reply. I think the Crunchies people are selling Amazon bad batches. Avoid these at all cost!

STALE, OVERLY SWEET, ALMOST NO MARZIPAN FLAVOR, POORLY PACKAGED WITH "USE BY" DATE LEFT BLANK FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, MADE WITH AS LITTLE ALMOND PASTE AS THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH.  (IS IT AGAINST THE LAW TO LEAVE A "USE BY" DATE BLANK ON A FOOD PACKAGE???).

The new, plastic packaging is a failure, I feel: the product was already STALE when I opened the new package for the first time. Seriously.
The former packaging, a foil pouch, kept the product moist for over a YEAR. Seriously.

I just opened my bag and these taste very very old and stale. I want to return, especially given that the expiration date is October of 2018. Return window says expired. What gives. These were packed so tight that may even have been vacuum packed. I don't recall. Ive poured out maybe 1/4 cup. I put 1 Star only bcs I have to submit a choice.

I took a chance on ordering the licorice allsorts from Amazon assuming that because they had just started selling this item last week I would have a good chance of getting a bag of fresh candy. WRONG! This stuff tastes like it has been on someone's shelf for a couple of years and while it is not rock hard yet, it is pretty darn close.

I am very disappointed.

Update July 13, 2006: A friend of mine ordered some of the Allsorts from Amazon (against my advice) and - big surprise - their order was also stale. It is really too bad because if these allsorts were fresh they would be the best tasting I have ever had. I hope Amazon can get it together and get a fresh batch of these candies because then they would be worthy of a 5 star rating.

Just opened up package and the product is stale. I can not return to Amazon because I exceeded the 30 day return window by 23 days.
It's understandable however I didn't need to open the package before now since I had my other stock. It may have been in the warehouse for a long time and it would make sense to take it back.
I would even exchange for one that is not old tasting. I will have to throw this away.
A total waste of money.

This arrived almost two months before its "sell by" date, but tasted clearly stale compared with the same product at a local store.  Some of the nuts were rancid.  Sahale's "Dauphine" walnut / banana / blueberry product was even worse, in spite of being five months before expiration.  However, the "Soledad" almonds and "Valdosta" pecans were as wonderful as those from the store.
