Vlasic all

This is really a suggestion more than a complaint. I love your pickles, all kinds. Seriously, all of them. But, can't you please make some without food coloring?!?! I can make my own certainly but in the world today where so many wonderful companies are offering foods with artificial flavors and artificial colors and bad preservatives why not jump on board?!?! Please make them without yellow coloring! Thanks so much, a pickle lover that also loves natural foods.

Vlasic ovals crunch

I bought 2 large jars of these pickles at the apples store in Wellington Ohio. I got home dumped both jars into my pickle container and placed them in fridge to chill. I normally love these pickles and can go through 1 large jar in 3 days but these 2 jars are so soft and mushy I can't even bare to eat them, and believe me, I have tried.I hate to complain but I just don't understand what happened with these 2 jars. I have never had this problem before. I do not have my receipt Or even the jars.

Vlasic peppers were hard and not hot

I use jalapenos for making my homemade salsa. I got a gallon jar of valcis sliced jalapenos to put in it. They were hard, and not hot as stated on the jar. I have used other brand name peppers in the past and will now go back to using them as they are much better and not hard.

Vlasic found a yellow worm with black tips in the jalapeno jar.

I had just bought the jalapeno slices from walmart. As I was serving them in a bowl, I saw something that looked like a thick yellow worm with black tips. I took it out of the serving bowl examined it and low and behold it grossed me out.. Everybody was waiting for the jalapenos and couldnt serve them I threw them all away. This was a big jar it was 62 fl. Oz. What a waste. I will never buy another jar of jalapenos with that name brand again.

Hi! These are not worms or maggots. These are the sprouts from the jalapeño seeds that have broken loose. They look and feel like dead worms. But if you take a few seeds out of the jar and press on them a sprout will pop out resembling a worm

Yeah! Because ONE bad jar NEVER happens to any other brands.

Sucks for you since Vlasic's jalapenos are FAR AND AWAY better than any other brands. Crispy, flavorful and actually hot. Walmart only sells Mt Olive now and it is like relish. Pull them out of the jar and they turn to mush in your hands before you can get them on the plate. And no heat whatsoever.

No way am I eating anything from Vlassic again! This sourkraut looks like worms. Notice they are not flat and the ends are rounded and not chopped! I got so sick from Vlassic sourkraut. See that brown thing, and the black thing? Just gross!

Yes, of course, contact the company. They will send you a coupon to replace your wormy pickles with a free jar of wormy pickles. Look, if you think the company is going to send you a reward for finding worms in their pickles, you're sadly mistaken. THERE IS NO REWARD.

I found a large piece of rubber inside a sealed jar of Vlasic bread and butter chips. It looks like a piece off a machine! Appalling! I will never buy vlasic again!

I too just bought the same jar from walmart opened it up took a slice out and began to eat it with my fish, I wanted some of the juice so I stirred the jar from the top and a bunch of little worm looking things floated to the top, I had to take a close examine but still am not sure if these were worms or part of the jalapeno, after looking closely for a few min. I came to the conclusion that they have to be worms, they are the same worms that when living in Rwanda Africa I ordered some food from a well to do place and it came with a small salad (you normally should not eat raw veggies from Africa for this reason) I ate my little salad thinking that there was not going to be any problem with it, because of the coffee shop tends to allot of Americans and people from western cultures. But as I was putting one of the last bites of my yummy salad (I had not had salad in about a year at that point) I noticed these little white worms crawling on the bottom of my plate mixed in with the ranch dressing, my fork dropped and of course I wanted to puke, not to mention I was pregnant which made things even worse. But it seems to me these are the same little worms that I experienced in Rwanda, so I will be taking these back to walmart (not walmarts fault) after I talk to Vlasic.

Vlasic human hair in product

I opened a 16 oz. jar of vlasic sweet gherkins pickles and found a human hair inside of the jar. The code on the side of the jar is [protected]. This is the first time that this has occurred in all of years that I have been buying and eating this product.

Vlasic many stems and hard tops to peppers in jar

Been using this particular product often, but this particular jar of hot pepper rings was full of large thick stems and hard tops of the pepper.
Product upc = [protected]

Number stamped on jar was hard to read.

Was either —
212r4 1430
Or
212 a4 1430

Would love to hear something about this.

Thank you

I was wondering why there is so many hard center peices in your mild pepper rings now because if this is how they are going to be I will find a different company. I don't want to because I love this brand and not only that I have found hair in my jars already if you could respond that would be great thank you

Vlasic perscription contact in the jar

I came home from grocery shopping and dropped the jar of Vlasic Bread and Butter Pickles that i had just purchased. While cleaning the mess I came across what appeared to be a prescription contact. I know the contact did not belong to anyone in my family because there is no one that wears them. I was disgusted! I am sending a complaint to the company.

I purchased a jar of pickles, not one smidgen of crunch. I have a jar of shriveled up pickles. A picture will show what I am talking about more than words can explain I purchased the Jar of pickles on 5/17/2023 From Winco in Folsom Ca. The pictures show exactly what I pulled out of the jar.

I love these pickles and have bought tons of jars over the years but here lately on several jars of pickles, the peeling on the pickle is so hard you can't even chew them it's hard to even just bite into them. I was wanting to bring it to someone's attention encase y'all weren't aware of the problem and can fix it.

On 2/22/23 open new jar of pickles and they were soft and the liquid in the jar appeared to have an oily sheen on top.

I purchased two jars and I'm reluctant to open the second jar in fear they are in the same condition.

These were purchased from Walmart.

they are not out of date - Best use date of 7/10/23.

These are supposed to be pepper rings. The majority of the jar is centers and large chunks of unusable product. The only part that is usable has to be cut off the large chunks. I would expect this if I bought the Wal-Mart brand, but I specifically bought Vlasic so as to not have to deal with this.

I wish I knew how to upload pictures, I took a picture of a New Jar before I opened it with the Juice, and a picture after I poured the Juice off. every Jar of pickles I buy now is nothing but a lot of Juice. The Price is much Higher, but Less Product. They fill it with so much Juice to make it look like a Full Jar.

Hello,

I love your pickles but I have had 6+ jars explode with the slightest tap against any surface. I almost cut myself this time as the whole bottom of the jar came off in a jagged pattern after just setting it on my counter. Very disappointed. 7/27/2022
