Purchased Gardein Chick'n Scallopini and discovered Conagra changed the ingredients to now include titanium dioxide. We attempted to return item to the store but were told to contact Conagra for refund.In lieu of a refund, Conagra sent us coupons (which we will gladly return) for Gardein products we no longer buy since Conagra reformulated the Gardein brand from most the natural and least-processed into a more synthetic and overly-processed brand. It's a shame what Conagra did to the Gardein brand. We are requesting a refund and attaching receipt.thank you for reading.

I am rejecting this response because:While ConAgra states, "based on the contact information you provided, we have no record of your
previous complaint", I am providing a copy of my previous complaint, and I object to ConAgra changing the product's recipe without mention. Usually companies advertise such changes with the wording: "new and improved" or new recipe, "improved taste" alerting the consumer to new formulations.

July, 6, 2024, I bought a Marie Callender's Chocolate Brownie Cream Pie from my local Kroger. As ****** (My son) was craving the pie, ****** said: As I was eating my pie I came across a chewy part in my pie that when I bit into the chewy part, it didn't dissolve in my mouth. My child also stated: When I took this chewy part of the pie out of my mouth, I found out it was a piece of **** in my food! My child told my other son,( ***) about this then went to me. Gio staites that he was on the couch when this happened, and I was in the Master bedroom of the house, watching TV and ****** was in the kitchen cutting and eating the pie. This left me in shock when nobody was around ****** during the incident. ****** said that the piece of **** was in the pie and was impossible for somebody to dig in the pie when it was frozen. I know we didn't have no **** in our house so the only thing that we could expect is that this company put **** in our pie.Business Response

We decided to purchase Marie Callender's Chicken Pot pie, upc: ************. Expiration date April 17th **** at a local Dollar General Store on January 10, ****. Both my husband and I feel very ill with constant diarrhea an extreme bad pain and cramps in our stomach. The only thing we've eaten was the chicken pot pie so we decided to look at the ingredients on the package most of it seem to be normal junk additives but one struck us that really made us very worried about it so we did some research it's called "Interesterfied soy oil". This ingredient is very dangerous to consume. *********************************************** take this off the shelves. Charges should be brought against this company and put in Jail for nearly poisoning us with bad ingredients. We are still trying to recuperate today, the worst nightmare ever.Business Response

I bought 4 BANQUET FAMILY SIZE HOMESTYLE GRAVY AND SLICED WHITE MEAT TURKEY dinners. All had the same numbers on them and all of them had the plastic cover over the meal open and gravy had spilled out while it was still being made and froze the meal container to the box. Obviously since the product wasn't sealed properly I couldn't possibly eat them. Although I did try cooking one and it smelled rancid and looked like bacteria was growing on it. When I called and only requested coupons to replace my meals I got a hard time from the representative until I requested to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor then said that they would send me coupons in the mail. Upon receiving these coupons the value of the coupons were only for $3 off a product. The retail price of these meals is nearly $4 give or take a few cents depending on where you go. Since they insisted on insulting me and not even sending me a coupon to cover the full cost of the meal that could have easily made somebody sick, I want a check for a full refund of the price of 4 meals plus tax as would be purchased from Wal-Mart in Michigan.Business Response
