McCain Foods Opiniões 

I recently purchased their specific Air Fryer crinkle chips, as they were recommended on Google as the best .
What a waste of money, DRY, TASTELSS and unedible.
If I could leave NO Stars I would.

I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the McCain product I purchased. The packaging shows a manufacturing date of 02/2026 and an expiry date of 05/2027, so the product should have been well within its shelf life. However, when I opened it today (06/2026), I found that the food was completely spoiled and covered with mold.

This is a serious quality and food safety concern. Consumers trust the expiry date and expect products to be safe for consumption within that period. I request McCain to investigate this issue, improve its quality control processes, and provide a prompt resolution, as such incidents can pose a health risk.

In answer to your reply I have given you the full details in my previous entry .my. next message will be to the department at Scarborough brough council which deals with food hygiene do not treat me like an an idiot.youare not dealing with one. In conclusion this is not the first time we have had green wedges in one of your products. You quality control is non existent

McCain Red Box Tray Lasagna
For the first time I tried a McCain's frozen meal - Lasagne. The first and the last time actually. It should have beef in it, right? Honestly it was predominatly eating plain lasagne with an extremely thin layer of 'beef spread'. It was a shock compared to Aldi's beef lasagne.

I don't like cooking with oil.
I bought triple cooked oven chips with dripping.
Cooked on an enamel tray that was so hard to clean afterwards.
Dripping would have wiped clean with kitchen roll, I had to scrub the tray with a metal pan scrubber to remove the oil.
Not much evidence of dripping.

In the beginning,McCain fries and other products were relied upon by consumers as a quality,affordable product. The garbage you people pass of as french fries these days, is deplorable! I just put your sweet potato fries in the oven to go with the family supper. It's absolute MUSH!!! I pay much more for half a bag of fries already....now, to add insult to injury, it is SHIT!!!! NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY ANYTHING YOU PEOPLE PRODUCE!!! RIP OFF!!!

Very bad!! The smiley potato all Broken stupid!!’

Absolute Garbage

They taste like nothing, the flavouring congregates where its sprinkled, it doesn't spread.

They taste like neither a crisp or chip...

Avoid...or you'll end up disappointed and hungry...

Just decided to switch back to McCains Hash Browns after years of having to watch my pennies, what a disappointment. I’ve thought for years about how much I miss McCains Hash Browns, now I’ll never buy them again. They’re awful, soggy, bland and the primary taste is now a horrible budget cooking oil.

Excellent quality frozen chips
BUT TOO MANY SMALL THIN CHIPS IN BAGS!!!

Rating would have been higher but fir this

I thought I would try the ready Jacket Potatoes, these were absolutely dreadful, the potato tasted like powder, my advice, buy baked potatoes fresh and pop in the microwave for 10 minutes, job done, these are awful...Mc Cains should stick to what they are good at....Fries. profit before quality, this company has gone downhill.

I've used McCain Home Chips for several years, but they seem to have changed the ingredients. They're now described as "fluffy"- in fact the inners are too soft and sloppy and seem more like reconstituted potato than actual whole potato.

We have loved McCains roast potatoes for a good few years but suddenly they have hard putty like pieces in them, they are hard and un eatable, not buying them any more. Tescos are more reliable. Hopefully more people will stop buying them then maybe these big companies will stop presuming we will buy any old rubbish!

Thought I'd give mcains vibes a try. Not worth the money, they go cold within a couple of minutes and a lot of faffing about preparing. In my opinion your better off with a tube of pringles.

They have definitely changed the makeup of their chips. Are now very dry and powder like and the chips dont cook consistent any more. Went to another make for 2 months and came back to theirs and the chips are utter rubbish. Won't be buying ever again. Im guessing the actual potato content must have decreased .

From Germany: Bought "frites deluxe" a few times and every time the package inside has a very strong smell of plastic and so do smell the fries. They even taste like plastic. Until this isn't fixed, we won't buy them again. We loved them when they were normal.

I recently had cause to complain about a McCains Frozen Jacket Potato product. One of the eight jackets was blemished. The customer services team responded very quickly, fully empathised with the situation, apologised profusely AND sent double the value of the whole pack in vouchers (I could have had a cash transfer if I had wanted). In any business, things do go wrong, and it is the measure of the company how they deal with it. Thank you, McCains, for your excellent response.

The quality of microwave Quick Chips has deteriorated. Used to be crisp and fluffy inside but now flat hard bits of potato that taste horrible. I've been buying for years but not anymore. I will have to find something else. It's a shame because they were so handy to microwave. I thought it might be a blip in production line but no, chips have been awful for months.

Recently bought a product and had a problem. Contacted their customer services who were brilliant, took on board the feedback and this was being looked I to and I was reimbursed me for the product that was at fault. I can't recommend them highly enough, well done McCain!
