On Sat., Jan. 22 I purchased a 6-bag box of Act II popcorn for $4.29. When my family proceeded to pop a bag this week, the bag exploded in the microwave before it was even done popping. Oil/butter and popcorn (only some popped, the rest just unpopped kernels) was all over the microwave. This has never happened before, and am wondering if something changed in the production or something to cause it to do this. Upon further investigation, I noticed that the remaining unpopped bags (still in the plastic) had a thick orange-like substance smeared on the outside of the popcorn bags! To top it off, the bags were half opened! We're disturbed, grossed out and really would like some clarity on how and why this has happened along with assurance that we haven't been exposed to anything unsavory. I've attached the proof of purchase and pictures for review.Business response

Rosarita organic refried beans traditional cans were bought by me in December 2022, and the best-by date is Oct 22, ****. I recently purchased this from ******* and it had a thorn that looked like a **** that was mixed in with the beans. This can be dangerous if someone bites down on or chokes on it, which needs to be considered for consumer safety.Business response

I purchased Birds Eye ***** chicken ******* on Aug 18th 2022. I consumed the meal October 3rd while consuming my meal I felt a sharp poke in my gums and spat of the food. Upon examination I found a piece of glass. I took pictures of the piece of glass and packaging and sent the information with pictures to the company. The company recently responded and asked for me to send the piece glass to the for examination and afterwards they will destroy it. They also stated in the email that they would send me some coupons as a way to rectify the situation. I feel as though more should be done about this.Business response

Birdseye Mixed Vegetables The end where it is to be opened looks like it has a self closure and it doesn't. Why on earth would they put a dotted line to cut? Misleading product. Another note about the product is that is crucial is that it is the 5 pound bag See pictures. Please do not send me a coupon for a free bag of vegetables. Only a check for the amount approx. $8.00. The cash registers in the grocery stores ******** and sometimes ***********, reject manufacturers coupons, and the manager needs to come over causing an embarrassing situation. I am 79 years old and cannot go back and forth to the grocery store., only to suffer humiliation. NO COUPONS PLEASEBusiness response

I am rejecting this response because as of today, I have not been able to contact them by phone. I called ************ and after waiting 6 minutes, the line was ended. Next I called ************** and left a message and no one has gotten in touch by phone to me. They even gave me CASE # ********, and nothing seems to matter to them. A misleading product and this company is not good for their word. At 79 years old, and during this Pandemic, Conagra should make it easier to give feedback on deceptive packaging.

We spoke with the consumer on 9/27/22 and apologized for her experience.
We shared that our goal is to always deliver great tasting, high quality food from the brands our consumers love but still with affordable pricing. For us to continue this goal, at times we may need to make changes to our packaging materials due to increasing costs of transportation,supply chain constraints, or even efficiency improvements. However, our commitment to our consumers to deliver high quality products theyve come to expect is still our top priority.
It was also explained that for any check reimbursement to be sent, we require proof of purchase. Since this was not available, coupons were offered and accepted by the consumer. We also made sure to pass on all comments and suggestions shared during our conversation.Case 06112750 has been closed.

I received a badly damage package from this company. So badly damaged that it was opened. This was 3 weeks ago. The day the package arrived I wrote to the company. After having to send 3 more emails without a response I got an email saying that they had wrote me back requesting information that was in the original email and saying they needed this information to send out a new package. After providing that information a second time they have not responded. Also- I do not want another package as I dont trust this company and the original package was purchased as a gift for an event that has long passed.Business response

A Bertolli complaint search took me to Conagra. So last month I completed their form. An acknowledgment was received, and subsequently two $1 off coupons.The normal price for their product is $10. With $1 off coupons, $100 would have to be spent to recoup $10 spent for their defective product. Their two $1 off coupons would cause one to spend another $20, on top of $10 already spent, and result in recouping only 20% of the cost. Since this was insufficient, I again reached out to them. After receiving their "we're sending you a little extra" email, I received two $5 off coupons. I would have to spend another $20, on top of the $10 already spent, to recoup the cost. This is absolutely disgusting. The fact that this company does NOT stand behind its products, and chooses instead to send out trivial coupons that force consumers to buy more of their products, is disgraceful.I want a full replacement without having to spend another ***** of my money. Otherwise, I want to be reimbursed.Business response
