Kraft Foods Complaint - Strange taste/texture of food item purchased - Kraft Simply Fat Free cottage cheese

Kraft Simply Fat Free cottage cheese - Complaint

FRISCO, TEXAS -- I typically love Kraft Simply Fat Free cottage cheese; I actually drive out of my way to a specific store to purchase it. However, my latest purchase (January 30th, 2012) has made me reconsider future purchases. The cottage cheese had a strange smell/texture upon opening the package, which was not expired. The taste was very bland (NOT typical of this product!) and the consistency was very thin and runny - almost like soup.

I am extremely disappointed, as I have to make a special trip to purchase this product. I am not sure if this is an isolated incident or if there have been recent changes in this product's manufacturing process. It is a bit more expensive than my grocery store brands, so I hate to try again if there have been recent changes made.

Did you pick up the unsalted version by mistake? I did that once and couldn't believe how tasteless it was. I don't like salt, but certain foods must have it, like cottage cheese. That wouldn't account for the consistency though.

Call the 800 number on the container and let them know. Have the container handy when you make the call in case they need any identifying info from it.

I tried Kraft sour cream and relly liked it so when I saw the cottage cheese I bought it. It was the regular kind and everything was fine but the taste. It's different enough that I won't buy it again.

This was my first purchase of Kraft Simply Cottage Cheese - when I opened it, I was sure it was either spoiled or the wrong product because of the weird texture. I did taste it to determine it wasn't spoiled, but it is too unpleasant in texture and flavor to be described as cottage cheese.

I got sick from Simply Kraft Fat Free Cottage Cheese Small Curd 24 oz. (from Walmart) [Sell before August 29 2012 18:41 TS2 PLANT 06-246 It had a strant smell (yes) so I ttried to "sweeten" it with Splenda, curry powder and cinnamon but it made me (seriously) sick for several days. The USDA does not accept complaints about food from consumers (Obama's rules) and neither does California (state government). Neither does Kraft.. so there is no place to report it (unless it kills you and then maybe the fire department can report it). In any case I got very sick from it. Now I see to be over it. If it smells bad -- it is bad. It was expensive but it is not worth being killed.

Kraft Simply Cottage Cheese tastes like chalk. I can't believe this crap has been around for 2 years and I have just now had the misfortune of being screwed into buying it at Walmart because the great preferred brand of Deans disapppeared.

I tried this for the first time on 4/11/13 when I ate it for lunch. Within 45 minutes I had severe abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. I ended up in the emergency room with suspected food poisoning. Then, six days later, during a routine examination, I was diagnosed with a streptococcus infection in my bladder.
