Green beans have changed?

Something has happened. I have bought these green beans for years, but the last few cans have had a very odd (terrible) flavor and chemical smell. They are not edible. What has happened?!

I miss the lobster bisque from the dollar tree, I was so happy with this soup that I would buy a case at a time.

This lobster bisque was the best I've ever had. I would add extra shrimp or lobster and it was like I had gone to a fancy restaurant, not bad for a minimum wage worker. I emailed the company about it not being at the dollar tree anymore and they were so nice. I hope that they bring it back.

Purchased large family size can of red kidney beans. Horrible. Never again will I purchase their product

There were 6 grams of sugar in the beans. Why? Why? And why 3 more grams of added sugar. Compared it to other products of kidney beans and there was no sugar. Time to shut corporations like this down indefinitely

Large cans half water

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I've always loved your green beans. A lot of food suppliers shrunk the packaging and reduced the contents. However, I was truly upset to open what supposed to be large cans, already reduced in size, half water. No reductions in pricing. Supply and demand =greed seems to be the case for suppliers now. I'll have to rethink stocking this item.

These were the stringiest beans we have ever bought

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
We always buy Hanover Green Beans, when we are out of home canned beans. They are usually the best you can buy in a can. The last two cans we bought were very, very stringy. You had to chew the beans up and then take the strings out of your mouth. This is poor quality control. These beans were picked past their prime.

Yes, the past three or four times we have cooked them they have been tough and very stringy. Which is the reason that I searched online and found these reviews.

In fact I couldn’t eat them either time.

Up until recently they have always been good. Not sure what’s going on but guess we will have to try another brand.

Hanover Foods - Lots of hard, inedible stems included
Purchased the Petite Whole Green Beans, 12oz steam in bag. Cook time recommended was fine, but when opened there were LOTS of hard stems included! I can understand the occasional tiny stem still attached to one or 2 beans in a batch but these were whole long stems! What a surprise & disappointment!

I bought four cans of your Chicken Pot Pie. When we opened the can it was all liquid except for a tablespoon of noodles and chicken. We thought this most of been a bad can and opened another one and that one worse with only a teaspoon of noodles and chicken. We have been purchasing your Chicken Pot Pie for years and never did we have such little substance in the cans. Very disappointing!!

Terrible can of Hanover pot pie soup

We like the Hanover pot pie soup, but since they changed the size of the can and the label, it is horrible. There was one large noodle one piece of chicken and the rest all broth. What is going on! slpersing@***.com
