Expired and Stale! Very Disappointed!
Ferrero Rocher is one of my favorite candies so I decided to order some as a Valentine’s gift for myself.
The package arrived on time and the appropriate protection was used as this product did not arrive damaged or cracked.
The product was just as described – 2 tiers of 24 candies on each level, for a total of 48 pieces.
Unfortunately, when I opened the candy wrapper I noticed the outer chocolate shell looked off-color and had a white dried-out tint to it. I proceeded to eat the candy and found that it tasted a bit off and seemed stale.
I thought maybe it was just my taste buds or that it was possibly just that one piece. So I went ahead and ate a couple more pieces. Every piece tasted just like the first one – stale!
I decided to try and find the LOT codes to check out the expiration date. Sure enough, these chocolates were beyond expired!
I am extremely disappointed and unhappy with my purchase. I know mistakes can happen, so if this company is able to fix this problem, I will post an update. However, at this time I do not recommend this product from this seller.
