reviews and complaints

I purchase your lunch meat over the store brand because I felt it would be fresher and last. On several occasions this statement was not true. Just on monday I purchased the roast beef, made my husband sandwiches a couple of different days, and then tonight I went to use the roast beef and it is rancid! I wrap the remaining lunch meat in plastic after opening it and this should never never happen. The use by date is november 12, 2023 code [protected]. Ya know groceries are already way too expensive and when you have to throw things out it makes it worse. Like I said this isn't the first time this has happened and it's always the roast beef and the ham. I have never had any issues with the turkey but who wants just turkey all the time. I should be able to purchase your product and so long as it is stored correctly it should last. Very disappointing, going back to store brand at least its cheaper.

Have you changed the preservative used for the litl'l cheddar smokies? I have been buying these consistently for a couple years but the ones I bought a couple weeks ago are different. They're a little bigger and the color is lighter, and they're extremely slimy. They smell fine so I can't tell if it's the preservative or if they're spoiled. They have an expiration date of 10/13/23. I bought 5 packages and after noticing this in the first package I opened the other 4 and they're all the same. Slimy and unappetizing. Throwing these right in the trash and if this is what I can expect going forward with this product I won't be buying more.

These have GOT to be the worst things around. They are nothing but grizzle and bone.
If I lived close enough to my grocery to return the 2nd package that I'd bought, I would do that. As it is, I am not going back to the grocery until next month. They were not a cheap purchase. I'd like my money back!

I purchased two sandwiches at circle k store. I love these sandwiches that I always buy two. Well when I opened them of course the meats are thin but at least put more than one slice and don't just put a couple of torn pieces. I got robbed. With the meat they put in all 2 packages I made just one half of a sandwich. I barely got any meat and I mean barely. I don't think ill be buying any more unless I get answers or my money hack. That's a shame workers are skimming and possibly hurting the company. Bu/ how can I get reimbursed if no email to input or my info to input.

I bought a container of your pastrami and was very disappointed. It was full of gristle. I am a Senior on a fixed income and cannot waste money, especially with the price of food. If I wanted an inferior product, I would have bought the cheap stuff. Maybe that's what I'll do from now on. It was bought at Walmart in Dundock, Md on Friday, May 18. The UPC code is [protected].

Tooth has been chipped by eating a beef link had to pay the cost of having the tooth fixed. Tooth was chipped on May 12th 2023 at 8:30 PM. Was eating a meal with rice and string beans bite into a link and chipped back molar on left side of jaw second tooth from back. Got the piece of stone or bone that caused the damaged. Have pictures of tooth missing and the part that caused it. Copy of bill for fixing the tooth. Copy of receipt from store.

I was cooking dinner and cutting up the sausages. While cutting I started to notice dark green/gray color spots in a few pieces of the sausage. Not sure what it was I cut a piece out and looked closer. It looked like it could be sort of bacteria, mold, mildew or something worse. I’m not sure what it was I am considering sending it out to get tested.

I used to eat these as a kid. They were amazing with bbq sauce. Then I ate them as an adult. I officially do not eat hillsboro farm crap. Thers bones and gristle, tendons and this product also contains sodium nitrate; causes parkinson’s and alzheimer’s. Sodium erythorbate; causes kidney stones. Sodium diaconate; toxicity level 2. Mono sodium glutamate; causes obesity and reproductive harm. And sodium phosphate causes kidney damage and can kill you.

How tf do people eat this garbage. Its literally healthier to eat your own poopy!

On april 23, 2023 I purchased in market 32 by price chopper in clifton park, ny 3 1lb packs of cold cut meat of hillshire farm product. Product oven roasted turkey breast with print use by 06/01/2023 has very bitter taste not usual for this meat, could not eat taste was very bad after couple bites was forced to dump in trash. Product honey ham with print use by may 22/2023 smell wasn't pleasant either. Product variety pack honey roasted turkey breast / smoked ham with print use by 05/15/2023 opened top of container and found mold on the meat in side of bag, even didn't open bag don't need it after see in it.

I purchased Honey Ham ultra-thin 32 oz package (upc [protected]) from BJ's in Webster, NY. The product shows the following on the side plastic "Use by Mar 04 23, EST. 89A FF39." The meat smells fine but has soft white globs all over it and the meat is slimy. Both packages have a lot of this white material on it. I buy this meat a lot, have never seen this before, and am not willing to eat it or give it to my dogs.

This product should have been made into dog food. It was excessively fat. I refrigerated it and I can actually flatten It was tasteless. No flavor, fat only. It made me gag as all tasted was fat, no beef, no seasoning. I had to spit out. I literally can flatten it and probably fry in a pan and feel not beef in it, only by products. Nasty…[protected]

I purchased a container of roasted Turkey lunch meat that was supposed to be sliced thin, however when I opened the container and the plastic it was in what I got was shredded Turkey meat there wasn’t a single full slice in the container. It looked as if it was all the left over shavings that fell after the turkey was sliced. That is totally unacceptable being that the cost is extremely high for this little pack.

Although the product label said that it was good until February 2023 (which I found incredible) when I ate some of that last night. Unfortunately, after I had already swallowed some of it, it was found to be slimy and this morning I am feeling sick and have already vomited.

This incident took place on the evening of 12/29/2022

I purchased this roast beef from Walmart in Walterboro SouthCarolina, for around $8.00 ($7.48 + tax). This was cold when I bought it, and kept cold. Everything was well sealed. I opened the sealed pack and it smelled odd and was slimy. I tasted a pinch and had to spit it out. I don't know if it's ruined or what was wrong with the taste but it smelled and tasted like it is bad. I had to throw it out. The use by date is Dec. 5, 2022. It was opened today. The package reads: EST 89 4

I have had this happen twice. Roast Beef and Smoked Ham, all tainted. I purchased the Smoke Ham on October 24, 2022, with Buy Before Date of December 9th, 2022. The packages were unopened. I opened the Roast Beef a week later, and it has an odor, and the taste was far from Roast Beef. texture was slimy, and shiny. A far cry from "true" Roast Beef. This meat is made from a mold (meat by products), and not real meat.

The same applied to the Smoked Ham. That too had a chemical odor, awful to the taste, fatty, and again a slimly texture.

Once, maybe a coincidence, but twice, a true error. With this to consider, I have reported these issues to the Food & Drug administration for further investigation. I have also taken the liberty of contacting the BBB, and the State Attorney General where the headquarters is located, and in my home state. in the headquarters. Since the pandemic, Hillshire Farms has increased their product price by three dollars, "I am sick of this Price Gouging act!" I don't mind paying more for quality, but this is far from being quality meats. I have better things to spend my money on, like real deli meat. And you know what? There isn't much of a price difference. We're talking a few cents.

We bought your product family size ultra thin roast beef to make a dish for our weekly Sunday family dinner. Our 5 year old grandson started choking, his mother cleared his airway and we found plastic ! We began looking thru the dish and found much more plastic. We will be throwing what we have in the freezer out. I'm absolutely furious that Hillshire farms would put my family's lives at risk like this ! We have always been pleased with the product until now.

I bought a family pack of hillshire farm honey ham lunch meat. The best buy date on it is 12/17/22. Upon opening it it is terrible completely full of fat taste terrible. Was the worst 8 dollars I've spent on lunch meat in a long time. I bought it from Walmart in Oneonta New York. On Sunday 10/30/22. I have now thrown it out as just couldn't get past the taste and the fat in it.

On 10/13/22, I purchased the 9 oz package of Honey Ham lunchmeat from the Kroger at 134 Banks Crossings in Fayetteville, GA 30214. I paid $4.79. plus 7% sales tax. I had a sandwich with 2 or 3 slices about two days later. The meat was fine. A few days later, I went to get a few slices. They were about 60 or 70% fat. There were great big clumps of fat, not just fat running through the meat. I found it inedible. I actually gave the rest of the package to my dogs. I wish I had thought to take a picture; the globs of fat would have been evident.

I usually love your products, but this time, someone failed to carve the fat off the meat!

October 25,2022 at 6:30Pm, I did my grocery shopping at Albertsons Cleburne texas, and bought my usual turkey meat. I never had an issue with your product until I opened the package and there was only one pouch of turkey. It was too early to go back to the store, I needed to make lunch for my son and sent him off to his tennis match. My receipt # is 00429400700782210251831
