Captain Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch, Murrells Inlet, SC, USA
1 week ago •reported by user-kcdvz651
I ate a bowl of Peanut butter crunch cereal. Used to be my favorite. It didn't taste like it use to. Was off color, misshapen and didn't smell or taste like peanut butter! I made complaints to Quaker Oats. One employee told me that a manufacturer had
some problems and bad batches were out there. Then he was no longer allowed to speak with me. A cover up is currently going on. A Senior Escalation Specialist told me that Quaker Oats is not recalling any of this bad cereal. She denies that hundreds of others are making the same complaints. I can Not find a box of good Peanut butter Crunch. Quaker Oats refuses to send me a good box. I Don't think any exists. And I have a complaint with the FDA, but it's going slow. I plan to make as much noise about this as possible!!. I got it from Food Lion on the Garden City Connection in Murrell's Inlet, S.C. Both all stores in Murrell's Inlet have bad PB Crunch cereal. Piggly wiggly, Dollar General, Publix also.
