Expiration date and poor quality

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

4.5 billion a year 9,200 employees and over 90% of reviews on-line are negative from the poor quality of your baked goods even complaints of chemicals in food.

No Expiration date on package! Did find random numbers that make no since to an American consumer so looked online but the examples of how to read the Expiration date did not correlate so threw honey bun in trash and BOYCOTT Mrs. Freshley's cause they have abused their size and are a bad product and obviously don't care about quality or the customer

However I can turn Mrs Freshley's quality around making 90% of all reviews positive increasing return customers and new customers lowering costs increasing margins by 30% and more but I think your vehicle is being used to poison American citizens and according to reviews many agree.

I bought the box of Mrs. Freshleys triple chocolate cakes and they smell strongly of chemicals. In every package there is a white icing? Or a white substance. But it's quite strong.

I just took a bite of one. It was horrible.

Chemical taste, bitter, I tried to spit it all out and rinse my mouth but still taste it.

I swear it feels like it burns a little. Tossed it into the trash but wondering if I should get it analyzed.

I just bought some from my local family dollar and bit into one my 3rd one actually I ate 2 prior to being hospitalized with severe kidney issues. Ate another one when I came home but as soon as I bit it I tasted this bitter taste it burned my mouth I spit it out and saved the remaining! I’m contacting a lawyer and defect tomorrow morning!

I have the same issue. Hershey cakes bought at Family Dollar.

I took a bite and it tasted like chemicals. I was sick for the whole night after just one bite.

I can’t imagine what eating the whole thing could have done. I’m scared to even try the peanut butter ones I bought at the same time.

For the first time purchasing the white bread I was in for a very big surprise. The smell and the taste is horrible.

I don't understand why a white bread would have such a repulsive taste and smell. I have never experienced that before.

Be careful when consuming Mrs Freshly products

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My son bought at a Mrs Freshleys Hershey snack cake at our local store, and it seemed fine and then he offered me the other half and I took one bite and I immediately noticed it didn't smell or taste right. I can't explain what it smelled like, just some sort if chemical and I felt sick the rest of the night and it took ne awhile to get that taste out if my mouth no matter what I did
