Vlasic
reviews and complaints

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.

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

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🤔🤨🤭🤥🤑😪

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

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?

Dear Friends,
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

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.

First the big jar of pickles disappeared from the superstore so I switched to the dill pickle spears which I love.
2 years ago they disappeared from Walmart., Last year from sobeys
And now for the last three weeks are not coming to Save on foods?
I am in Edmonton Alberta... What's happening? This is not good for your product, sales, and purchasers.
Can you please let me know? Thank you kindly.

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.

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 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?

I have tried every where the vlastic original whole dill pickel( not kosher). Are my favorite pickels. I have ate them for 5 years religiously I always had 2/3 jars always in my house. All my kids ate them TheEjuice was saved worked great for sore throats. Only the genuine dill. Then last year no more I can't even get them shipped to me I live in a little town on Indiana. Please help I will pay for them
I ordered some on line for my bday and i never recived them from some company on eBay. That's all keep telling. My family I want . thanku. Tracy hall. Email :[protected]@ gmail.com or Tracy.[protected]@ yahoo.com. address. 303 e main st box 147. Decker indiana 47524. Thanku

The pickles still taste like cucumbers this is the second time I bought them same thing. The pickles actually had no flavor at all tasted like cucumbers.. This is the second time i've bought them from the same store it's like they're not being cured long enough I love the pickles apparently I have to go back to the regular dill pickles and not the sliced ones

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
