Lemon/raspberry supposedly natural fruit juice is a very unnatural BLUE & full of additives. Feedback was met with an auto response which failed to address the issues raised and a rant about not abusing them. Feedback is valuable, del Monte & when paid for is called 'market research'! Del Monte also needs to remember it must extend the same respect to customers that it demands from them. Will avoid this once trusted brand in future in favour of healthier, often cheaper, actual fruit juices & other products from competitors.

Bought an 8 pack of canned corn from Sam’s club that was sent to me. The cans were all dented in multiple spots and on multiple sides. The shipping box and retail box holding the cans were in good condition. The only way they could be in that state is if they were packaged at the factory that way. I contacted del monte and got a response blaming the shipping process. They took no responsibility for selling a known damaged product.

Read ingredients and small print on Del Monte juice Del…

Last month i bought a jug of Del Monte sunny orange juice from the refrigerated section thinking it was not from concentrate and was 100% orange juice because it was $7.29. Once home, I had a 4 oz glass and noticed the juice tasted weird like the tetra pak juices. I read the ingredients list and the small print and discovered it's from concentrate and is a blend of orange, apple and or grape juice. I drink 4 oz of pure orange juice per day to meet the vitamin c requirements but I don't drink from concentrate juices and therefore I could not drink any more of that jug. I emailed the customer service to complain about the expensive below par juice explaining i couldn't drink it and Darly R responded with sending me a $5 coupon($2.29 less than the juice cost). When I emailed her again, she absolutely refused to compensate me fully. My lesson I learned today is never buy anything Del Monte and always read the ingredients in a product I've never tried

Poor Customer Service

Used to be a good company,but they don't even bother replying to customer complaints now and their quality standards have definitely fallen.Almost every can of tinned peaches has fragments of peach stones in these days.Best to check every tin before eating or risk a broken tooth!

I bought two cans of Italian green beans and there was something foreign in it. The green beans were not the normal color and every time you try to reach delmonte you can’t leave a message and no one responds to emails. One would think that this would be a concern.

I bought some sliced peaches but on opening the tin they had a horrible yeasty fermented smell.
I emailed a complaint to them including a photo of the lid with batch number etc. After a week I got a reply saying they took customer feedback seriously and thanks for bringing it to their attention. They didn't offer a refund for the tin I had to throw away. Very poor customer service

Scam company. Sorry guys but lawfully speaking I'm correct.

Scam company.

When you buy a big carton of Watermelon Juice, what do you expect to be drinking? The Juice from a Watermelon perhaps?

Confused by the taste, I looked at the ingredients and it contains, get this; 3% watermelon juice.

If that isn't a scam then I don't know what is. I'll never touch any of their tap water products again.

Very Poor Quality On Prunes

What has happened to the normal good quality with Del Monte prunes. There are now consistantly very small in size compared to before, also very hard and unpleasant to eat. Have now moved over to a different brand that is costing less and are just as good as the old Del Monte type.

Quality control issue

First issue is I cracked a tooth on a cherry pit from delMonte’s Very cherry canned fruit in light syrup.
Second, false advertised ‘very cherry’ as there were barely Any cherries in the large can and the pieces were very small
