Did you ever open a can of fruit....

[debodun]

And only find a few pieces floating in mostly juice or syrup? Canning error or just more cut-backs?

It's many, many years since I ate canned fruit... but the last time I did open a can it was all full to the top.... that said as a food prepper..I have canned fruit in the store for emrgencies .. I might open a can of oranges to see if they've reduced the amount ..just for my own satisfaction..lol... because in truth everything else has been severly cut back... and prices risen for the same

I always buy canned peaches and pears from Aldi. Hardly any juice, lots of fruit and not too sweet. Hope you can try it.

The only time I open up canned fruit is when I’m making Hawaiian pizza. ( pineapple ) The canned pineapple is full. The pineapple is sliced properly and stacked properly. I have no complaints.

Deb I don't know what you consider a few pieces but if there's only 3 or 4 pieces of fruit it is likely a machine on the line at the plant. There's been some error or malfunction. It happens.

I always keep fruit cocktail around and when I find a few metal specs, I just scope them out. Not a big deal.

No that hasnt happened t o me - if it did, I would write a letter to the company and they would probably refund/ offer free samples.

some sort of machine error on the assembly line I would think.

Never had that experience. For certain recipes I maintain small stocks of Aldi's canned pineapple. Also mandarin orange segments. They've always been generously packed with fruit.

My aunt once opened a can of green beans and found it full of motor oil. Mechanic must have set it on the conveyor belt and off it went when he went back to turn the machine back on. Oops.

Someone didn't load the fruit in time or it got blocked up in the hopper in your case. Call the number on the can and they'll send you a coupon.

I don't seem to be having much luck with groceries lately. I also have a thread about wilted salad mix I bought.

 

[debodun]

Another disappointment....strawberry jelly...consistency of maple syrup. Ran all over my toast. The brand is Blackburn's. I thought it was because being a new bottle, it was at room temperature and putting it in the fridge would help make it more thick. WRONG!

I don't care for canned fruit, but I do use canned sliced mushrooms with just about anything.

I noticed the issue with canned yams and peaches. For a while there were way less in the can than there used to be. I haven purchased any recently.
