McCain Foods Omdömen 

I thought I would try the ready Jacket Potatoes, these were absolutely dreadful, the potato tasted like powder, my advice, buy baked potatoes fresh and pop in the microwave for 10 minutes, job done, these are awful...Mc Cains should stick to what they are good at....Fries. profit before quality, this company has gone downhill.

I've used McCain Home Chips for several years, but they seem to have changed the ingredients. They're now described as "fluffy"- in fact the inners are too soft and sloppy and seem more like reconstituted potato than actual whole potato.

We have loved McCains roast potatoes for a good few years but suddenly they have hard putty like pieces in them, they are hard and un eatable, not buying them any more. Tescos are more reliable. Hopefully more people will stop buying them then maybe these big companies will stop presuming we will buy any old rubbish!

Thought I'd give mcains vibes a try. Not worth the money, they go cold within a couple of minutes and a lot of faffing about preparing. In my opinion your better off with a tube of pringles.

They have definitely changed the makeup of their chips. Are now very dry and powder like and the chips dont cook consistent any more. Went to another make for 2 months and came back to theirs and the chips are utter rubbish. Won't be buying ever again. Im guessing the actual potato content must have decreased .

From Germany: Bought "frites deluxe" a few times and every time the package inside has a very strong smell of plastic and so do smell the fries. They even taste like plastic. Until this isn't fixed, we won't buy them again. We loved them when they were normal.

I recently had cause to complain about a McCains Frozen Jacket Potato product. One of the eight jackets was blemished. The customer services team responded very quickly, fully empathised with the situation, apologised profusely AND sent double the value of the whole pack in vouchers (I could have had a cash transfer if I had wanted). In any business, things do go wrong, and it is the measure of the company how they deal with it. Thank you, McCains, for your excellent response.

The quality of microwave Quick Chips has deteriorated. Used to be crisp and fluffy inside but now flat hard bits of potato that taste horrible. I've been buying for years but not anymore. I will have to find something else. It's a shame because they were so handy to microwave. I thought it might be a blip in production line but no, chips have been awful for months.

Recently bought a product and had a problem. Contacted their customer services who were brilliant, took on board the feedback and this was being looked I to and I was reimbursed me for the product that was at fault. I can't recommend them highly enough, well done McCain!

Used to buy these all the time but for some reason they seem to have become dry and powdery. Will have to look for an alternative sadly.

What have McCain done to their oven chips? Used them for years and very happy but the latest bag of Home crinkle cut were absolutely horrible. I've thrown them away now and just won't buy any more. Why do manufacturers tinker with successful products (er, to save money) - but people bought them because they were good so DON'T CHANGE THEM - the same applied to Heinz ketchup (became watery) and Silver Spoon sweeteners (need 3 instead of 2 now) etc etc. So, I will look for a McCain alternative and they have lost me as a customer (as Heinz did, with me preferring Branston beans and being loyal to them instead now,,,,for as long as they don't change....).

pizza slices have a weird plastic smell and chemical taste, would avoid, just googled it and saw recent product recalls due to plastic and metal contamination... how good

McCain vibes awful powdery stale starch taste more powder in the bag than on the product would never buy again love McCain smiles though they are always a smash hit

spent £3 on a bag of salt and vinigag vibes they were disscusting even my daughter who is a chipaholic did not eat them

Went to mccains own site looking to buy directly as amazon are selling a 2kg bag for £20. Not a chance. You have to request the prices for every item and cannot just buy something. Youd think I was trying to buy the golden chalice itself. You sell frozen potato's please just put prices on your products its nit at all hard. Online shopping should be easy, not a maze made by harry Potter with paranoid schizophrenia :/ just bloody hard.

I can't believe how bad my pizza was I purchased a Hawaiian pizza expecting a good amount of filling put on top!! when I opened it I only found 4 tiny slithers of pineapple on the whole pizza this is disgusting!! I'm going to let my friends know not to buy any McCain pizzas because I can buy one fresh from Domino's Pizza for half the price with 3 times the filling you place on your pizzas I'm just totally disgusted it was also tasteless no flavor what so ever we ate half of it and binned the other half I'm highly disappointed.

NO stars preferred.
Frozen Chips.
Scrag ends. 1.6kg crinkle cut oven chips .
Tasteless potato taste powdery.
BUT worst of ALL vast majority in bag are TOTALLY inedible.
End up discarding anywhere from 10 to 25 alleged chips as just SCRAG ENDS.
HOW DO THESE PASS QC?? OBVIOUSLY THEY DO NOT.
THIS is a recurring problem. Thoroughly fed up with being shafted paying good money for rubbish.
WHAT has happened to McCain's???

If I could give a minus 10 I would.
Bought a Rustica artisan pizza yesterday, made by McCain. Didn't see the McCain name or I wouldn't have touched it with a barge pole, I hate their products.
Well, I wasn't disappointed, this pizza is absolutely vile. I ate a 1/4 of it, because I was starving and threw the remains to the birds
Don't waste your money on this ridiculously small, ugly tasting pizza.
How this company keeps going is beyond me, it's just bloody awful
Ah McCain you've stuffed up again

Ich hatte am 11. August eine Reklamation an MCCain per Email geschickt, dass die Röstis grüne Stellen/Punkte habe und ob dies evtl. Schimmel oder von grünen Kartoffeln kommen würde. Eine automatische Antwort kam sofort, dass ich mich ca. 4 Wochen mit einer Antwort gedulden müsste. Nach Ablauf dieser Zeit hatte ich immer noch keine Antwort und habe dann an meine Reklamation erinnert. Nach einiger Zeit habe ich ein 3. Mal erinnert. Bis heute habe ich keine Antwort erhalten. Anscheinend gibt es keinen Kundenservice bei MCCain bzw. ist dem Hersteller der Kunde und deren Zufriedenheit nicht wichtig. Dies kann ich nicht nachvollziehen, da ohne zufriedene Kunden auf lange Sicht die Marke keine Marke mehr sein wird. Ebenfalls antworten Firmen, die Wert auf ihre Qualität und ihren Ruf nehmen auf Bewertungen auf Trustpilot. Dies scheint bei McCain auch nicht so zu sein.
