Purchased odd tasting sesame oil. Four bottles. We are Asian we use a lot of sesame oil. ********** tasted rancid. Number on bottle was called. Girl answered phone with stuffed up nose very unprofessional her name began with an l she chastised me and put me through absolute inappropriate nonsense as to why I thought the taste was off! I've been buying this longer than this girl's age. I phoned hanging on Long Island and the woman apologized and said she would have customer service call me. I received no call. I would like these four bottles of sesame oil replaced. I had to open each one to try and find one that wasn't rancid when I made my family dinner.Initial Complaint

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:the business says they will reimburse me. The business has my address through the better Business bureau I will not call that phone number and be treated rudely again. There is simply nothing else to say the address is with the better Business bureau I do not want to be called and titrated at again. Thank you for the reimbursement for my products please confirm you have done so.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:[Your Answer Here] I do not get certified mail because by the time I get to the post office it is gone. I am 15 days off and 15 days on with the Coast guard. I do not receive certified mail because no one is here to sign for me. Please correct and resend regular mail. This is getting to the point where it's ridiculous. Please issue something that I don't have to sign for. Thank you

At The Hain Celestial Group, we are committed to producing high-quality products and our consumers safety is our top priority. The consumer was contacted and left a voicemail on 9/23/22 in regards to the alleged incident. To date, we have not received a call back from the consumer. Due to the lack of manufacturing code information, our ***************** is unable to conduct a formal evaluation of lot-specific production and quality records. However, every batch of our Greek Gods Yogurt undergoes testing and review by our ***************** department, ensuring that all critical attributes and safety parameters are met prior to release.
We take these matters very seriously and appreciate this concern being brought to our attention. If additional information becomes available, we can further review. Thank you.
