My mother is highly allergic to High Fructose Corn Syrup and her eyesight prevents her from reading the tiny list of ingredients on the box. I've decided to make her a list of certain products to avoid, but the *********** website does NOT list ingredients, NOR allergens.So I called ************ (Aug 5, 2024, @ 9:39am) and spoke with a young lady (*******?), told her my issue, and she said she had a document she could read to **** said ok, but ONLY if it dealt with High Fructose Corn Syrup.She said yes, and that there was something important at the end. She read me a 30 word disclaimer about wheat, dairy, and soy allergens that may be present in the bakery, and the "important bit at the end" was for customers to read the side of the box!!What the ....?!I told her that she ignored what I said: - High Fructose Corn Syrup info needed - it's a customer that can NOT read the side of the box - that what she read to me was completely useless to me - that unless I could identify which products were ok for my mother, I'd simply tell her that ALL of *********** products were bad for her.The girl then offered to read the useless thing to me again!!WHAT THE ....?!?!?!I asked for her manager and SHE HUNG UP ON ME!- NOTE: *********** is owned by Bimbo Bakeries USA, out of Horsham PA, and that's the customers service number I called.Business Response

I purchased a bag of ******'s Onion Bagel on May 5, 2023 and after a couple of days, the bagels had green mold all over. The bagels were never opened prior to the day of mold discovery. The bagels were kept refrigerated since the bagel was purchased refrigerated. I purchase these bagels all the time and this is the first time this has happened. I've tried to reach out the company in writing and by phone but my attempts has been unsuccessful. It has been a cat and mouse game to reach anyone. I would like a replacement or a refund.Business Response

On the late evening of Thursday November 3 2022 I purchased a box on entenmanns brand 12 pack of softener cake donuts for 6.99. I purchased the donuts at at a grocery store located on ** **** ****** **** Westerville Ohio. When I got arrived home to pack up my groceries and taste the donuts they were stale and too pale. I immediately emailed the Entenmanns customer relations department after 1230am on November 4 2022 and attached photographs of the stale donuts requesting a refund. I received no email correspondences back. I followed up with a phone call to the Entenmanns customer service number on the evening of November 16 2022 and they left a detailed voicemail message and they have refused to call and email me directly as I requested. I also emailed the corporate customer relations department of ******'s on November 15 2022 about the donuts after going to the same ** * ****** **** to shop and to complain about the donuts and there was no ****** employee staff to speak with and it was very hot and a gas leak broke out in the store causing me extreme aggravation and discomfort causing me to start to feel sick. I have also followed up a fourth time by emailing the bimbos bakery corporation and I have heard nothing from them. It should not take multiple correspondences and 15 days to process a refund of 6.99 plus tax for ******'s and Entenmanns stocking bad donuts in the ******'s store on ** **** ****** **** and then not being responsive to apologize and to return my money back into my form of payment.Business Response

This issue was resolved on November 17, 2022. The coupons wouldn’t have been received by 11/22/2022 when you notified us of the complaint.
Stacie provided us the information necessary to complete her quality issue complaint and we sent 2 replacement coupons and an email letting her know to expect the coupons.
Stacie hasn’t attempted to contact us since this time.
Thank you,

Monday January 23 2023 144pm. I have received no coupons in the mail and if this matter was handled in a timely matter back in NOVEMBER 2022 it would not still be lingering until now. It is a whole new year and we are still disputing a 7.00 box of stale donuts from almost three months ago which is horrible. The ******'s on ** **** ****** **** Columbus Ohio, ********** and Bimbos should have solved this matter before Thanksgiving 2022. It would have been simpler just to credit back my form of payment on November 3 2022Business Response

Thank you for the feedback. We didn't realize Stacie never received her coupons nor were the coupons mailed to: **** ********** **, Columbus OH ********** returned to us as undeliverable. We will be glad to send new updated coupons to her via certified mail to guarantee delivery and for the inconvenience we will sending an extra two (2) coupons for a total of four (4). We have her email address as: *************@*****.com and once the certified letter is created, we will email her the tracking number to assist and aide her in the delivery of her coupons.Customer Answer

On Saturday January 28 2023 I finally received a response and resolution from Bimbos Corporation & **********. I received several blue and silver coupons in my mailbox. I hope if and when I go to another grocery store I don't purchase anymore stale ********** cake donuts or the special discounted coupons will be useless.

Your bread Natures Harvest Healthy Habits got moldy and we had to throw it out. There IS NO DATE - The smell after opening it was so strong we had to freeze it in a ziplock bag. The bread did not look moldy at all. It just reeked. NO DATE. ******* La Habra, Ca. There is no company called Natures Harvest . How are people supposed to know that Bimbo is the company who manufactures Natures Harvest. Please send check for $6.00 for the bread, as the coupons do not scan at the market cash register. ********** Proof OF Purchase NO DATE We bought it last week.
