Vlasic
reviews and complaints

I purchased a jar of kosher dill whole pickles from my peru hyvee and there were what looked like dried out pickle seeds all over the lid and rim of the jar but looking closer it looks like they are dead gnats! Not sure but either way I don't trust eating them! I took the video after trying to dust them off so it isn't like there were just a few, it was covered. The other jar of spear pickles was fine so I am guessing it's just this was a bad batch I hope!? Either way, a waste of money and they aren't ok to eat.

I always buy your bread and butter pickle chips but decided to buy the jar of sandwich slices...since I like them on hoagies etc. They are delicious. However most of the pickles are not sliced all the way through...I thought you might want to know this...I have to finish slicing them...which is an inconvenience to say the least...can you please check on the reason this happened? I would appreciate it very much...

I recently purchased an 80 oz bottle of Vlasic pickles and didn't really look closely at the pickles themselves. Anyway when I got them home and went to get one out and noticed that the skin was missing off of it and the skin was missing on almost all the pickles in the jar. Also when I cut into them they have holes in them running the entire length of the pickles. My husband thinks it's frostbite LOL. So anyway I thought this was just a fluke so I went and bought another jar of 80 ounce Vlasic pickles. This time I went to a different store and I got them home and had the same problem. It was kind of weird but whatever. Then my Soldier Sons came home for leave. There's a new thing called pickleback where people drink pickle juice as a chaser for their whiskey. So the juice went to a good cause. I trashed the pickles. So my son's picked up another jar of pickles 80 ounce Vlasic and lo and behold we've got the skinless pickles again. I just basically wanted you guys to know about this just so you can do quality control because I really love my Vlasic pickles I don't like any other brand and you're not losing your customer over here I'm just going to look at them or careful thank you for your time. My Husbands now telling me they weren't skinless but they look like they were skinless LOL. Oh and the pickles were completely tasteless which made me sad LOL

I just bought a jar of Vlasic Sweet gherkins open them popped one in my mouth and noticed they were extremely sweet almost to the point of gagging sweet. Then I noticed the horrible horrible aftertaste and I knew instantly what it was I looked on the list of ingredients and you have high fructose corn syrup no sugar but sucralose an artificial sweetener and that after taste was just nauseating. I noticed someone else in the comments had the same experience. There are millions of people that cannot tolerate artificial sweeteners and for Vlasic to put it in a product and not make note of it on the front of the jar so people can see it instantly is very negligent and thoughtless. I assume it's there to save a buck so that your CEO's can have their big paychecks and upper management can have their fancy vacations all at the consumer's expense. I am disgusted and appalled at Vlasic for doing this and as long as you keep sucralose in a regular product that's not dietetic I will never buy Vlasic again and I think there's probably millions of other people that will find out and concur...DISGUSTING!

It used to be hard to get out those first few pickles spears.
Today as I was putting my pickles away, after my shopping, I notice the small volume inside the jar. Only 9 spears. 9. Nine. That equals 2.25 pickles.
Nice Vlasic. How many millions does your company pay your CEO? This is NOT a plant packing problem. This is a greed problem from the top.

I was getting a lot of liquid when I dipped the relish from the jar. I strained the jar and over 1/2 of it was juice - very disappointed when I learned I had paid for juice - not relish. I could not believe Vlasic would do this. I use your pickles all the time especially the Kosher Dill...
This is a copy from another person who I saw had the same complaint. I thought maybe I just got a random jar of Juice- NO Pickles!
I guess just won't be buying again along with the other Vlasic pickles? I hate it that a company I grew up and respected seems to degrade?

I Just bought a 1L Jar of the Vlasic Kosher Dill Pickles, from Nofrills on Geroge street Peterborough with the Exp of 20 MA 07
Get them home open the jar grab the first pickle and its kinda mushy but go to cut it open and its a bad pickle. The inside is slimy hollow and a puss color yellow. I buy your stuff all the time and this is the first time theyve been like this first one is usually a little softer but this is unacceptable I've added pictures of the jar, pickle and receipt

We opened our 24 oz jar of Vlasic Bread and Butter Pickles eat about half a jar and discovered a green covered electrical wire with the wires still in the tubing. It was an awful experience I know things happen but this is unacceptable.

I ask that you consider a different approach to your quality control process, again I know a few complaints are expected but some of the reviews I have read seem to be more than quality control issues. It sounds like someone was not happy with their job and wanted to damage your name.

On 2/11/2019, after using half the pickles, we found a clump of several dark hairs in the jar. We had just made a large dish of salad including chopped pickles. We trashed the salad and the pickles. I had already eaten some of the salad.
About $10 would cover the cost of salad ingredients.

We have used vlasic pickles for over 50 years, so this was very disappointing.

I have the hair in an envelope. If vlasic wants, I can provide it. You could use a dna sample to find out the employee involved. Might be a bit expensive, though.

I was getting a lot of liquid when I dipped the relish from the jar. I strained the jar and over 1/2 of it was juice - very disappointed when I learned I had paid for juice - not relish. I could not believe Vlasic would do this. I use your pickles all the time especially the Kosher Dills, but this will be the last time I will be using the sweet relish. When I was in the store, I picked up a jar of relish, shook it and waited awhile. One could see a lot of juice at the top of the jar. Too bad. I am not going to spend money on another jar just to confirm what I already know about this defective product.

We love your pickles! We eat them all the time. They are always consistent and with that snap of a crunch when you bite into it. This round we bought the 80oz jar, and our pickles were soft, not even crunchy with a bland taste, lacking flavor. It was so noticeable that we seriously thought something was wrong. I mean it was just that unusual. I don't want to take this jar back to the store and complain to a manager. This would seem unfair to me, as they would have nothing to do with this. And I'm never disappointed with my pickles...up until this point. I just want to know that we can have that same awesome quality as we always have with your product or is this just a bad batch? So we noticed the smaller darker ones had soft wrinkly skin almost limp when we held them and just no noisy crunch at all. Look we love Vlasic. There's no other...Right?

Sincerely, David

Little white rocks in my pickles. Gravel? Why?. This is the 2nd jar this year. 2 pickles so far in this thin large jar. Had it happen in jar before this one too.. Only 1 in it tho..

the skin is tough and rubbery and they are hollow inside. the taste is somewhat lacking, very disappointed with what should be a good product. without some compensation I will not be a repeat customer. I have purchased your brand of pickles before and have always been satisfied with the quality and taste as I eat a lot of dill pickles in my diet. your attention would be appreciated and advise if you need any more information

I have been averaging more than two (2) 24 oz jars of your dill spears a week! But about a month ago I purchased two jars of the Vlasic Zesty Dill Spears (24 oz), and just yesterday I purchased an 80 oz jar of Kosher Dill Spears — all from a local Walmart (on Imperial in San Diego, CA) — and have been unable to eat either. I thought that after experiencing the tough, dark skin and odd taste of the Zesty Spears that I should return to the Kosher ones, so I did but was spending so much at grocery stores and local 7-Elevens, I decided to purchase the 80 oz size in order to save. I opened the larger jar today and immediately tasted a much tougher, darker skin and an almost sour taste instead of the familiar dill that I became hooked on this past March. I know the taste and quality I have become familiar with in your products.in fact, I just bagged six (6) empty jars of Kosher Dill Spears for recycling! My obsession has become a family joke. However, spending money for something I cannot use is no joke. Yet, I now have two 24 oz jars and one 80 oz jar of pickles in my frig that I can't eat. As someone who has spent a small fortune on your products, I want my money refunded for these three jars, and I will avoid purchasing any of these products in the future from Walmart. Please advise how you will make this right.

Just opened a jar of the sweet gherkins that I bought today and after the first bite I immediately tasted the horrible taste of artificial sweetener. These have always been my favorite pickles but I will not be buying them ever again until you make them the original way and the friends I was sharing them with agree. What ever possessed you to do this? Most people I know can't stand the taste of the stuff. If you need to make a sugar free pickle it needs to be labeled as such and i'm guessing most people, myself included, will switch to other brands because of this. So very disappointing.

Hello,

I am very displeased to inform you that I found a roughly 3-inch sized piece of wood in my jar of vlasic snack'mms purchased at the walmart in oneida, ny. Thinking this was a pickle, I scraped up the back of my throat unaware that I had put a wood chip in my mouth. I am very displeased with my experience with your pickles, especially considering that if you ask anyone I know - they would tell you how much I love your pickles. If I don't hear from you soon to discuss this happening I will consult lawyers in my area. Having this said, please directly call me at [protected] or email me at sarah. [protected]@cortland. Edu.

Thanks,
-sarah nahhas

I have always eaten your pickles, they are great and I love the gherkins. The other day I bought a jar and starting to eat the pickles and all of a sudden I had a horrible taste and feeling in my mouth-I knew what it had to be because I cannot and hate the ingredient I was tasting. The ingredient was sucralose. I never tasted this in your products before and am upset and sad. I looked at the label on the and there it was-sucralose. I hate the stuff and cannot eat it. I went online today to look at the ingredients and you do not list sucralose as one of the ingredients.

If this ingredient will be in this product I will not be eating them anymore, I am sorry, but I cannot eat sugar substitutes, they are nasty.
