Heads up about "Riviera" canned soups from Dollar Tree

[Arianwen1174]

I've had pretty good luck with food from Dollar Tree. Yeah, packaged stuff, not so good... Last weekend we bought 4 cans of Riviera soups and today I threw all 4 cans out. First, DH prepared me what was supposed to be minestrone. I don't know if it was mislabeled or what but it was nasty. It looked almost like it was split pea, but not enough for me to try it out and see. So I had him dump it and try another can. Minestrone again and this time it was definitely what it was supposed to be. When DH brought it to me to see if it was hot enough, I tasted it and thought I'd never get the nasty taste out of my mouth. Gross! He dumped that and I threw the other 2 unopened cans out. I feel bad but forget it! I guess I'll stick with names I know from now on when it comes to soup. BTW, the dates on the cans were fine, all for next year.

So there's a little heads up for you. Riviera canned soup was a total waste of money, even though it was a good deal for a product like this.

You should write them a complaint!

I only buy brands that I know and recognize from DT, I've made that type of mistake before. I bought their "stor-it" bags and plastic wrap, can you say crap, they were awful.

Good idea, Thystle! I think the cans are in the recycling bin so I can still get the address without having to copy from a can in the store, lol.

Norasmomma, you're so right about their storage bags, ugh! I'm sticking with brands I know with both food and other products, for sure. And did you ever notice their "honey?" Not actually honey, if you look, it's honey syrup. Gross!
