My Frigo cheesehead original string cheese is dated August 10, 2023 (24 pack). I had been buying it for about a year and it had become my new favorite, however, the last couple of bags tasted funny. They smelled okay and I didn't actually get sick. This … See More
last bag though really tasted odd. I only tried two. The chemical/perfume description sounds closest to mine. I am not trying it again unless the company announces a DARN good reason for the taste being off.

Hello! We purchased a 24 pack of the light string cheese last Friday. (April 28th) we are now on Friday (May 5th) and we have notice that our light string cheese tastes like dirt! We have tried it 2 different times, on different days and they have … See More
both tasted like dirt, we love this brand and it is a regular in our house so we believe we have a bad batch that has something growing on it. The expiration date isn’t until June of 23’ so I’m not sure why these would taste like dirt other than we got a bad batch! I don’t see a batch number on the bag otherwise I would include that too. My family has been experiencing diarrhea for the past day and we are wondering if it is this string cheese that caused it.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea

The last year each pack of cheese sticks I bought would have a couple that tasted like rusted metal so that's the first thing that came to mind, now every pack I buy I can only find 1 maybe 2 in each row over them so 12.99$ … See More
a pack wasted
I contacted them like a month or so ago and reported this and the issue has only gotten way worse. I never went to the doctor but now it's time I do. The nausea,upset stomach,diarrhea and extremely bad abdominal pain is absolutely crazy and they know this is happening and done nothing to fix the problem. What do I do? Contact an attorney?  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Stomach Pain
