heinz ravioli

Options
Has anyone else noticed that heinz ravioli taste has changed ?

The sauce is thicker and darker in colour and also tastes foul

We've had 3 tins tasting this bad so far

  • I had a tin at work on saturday..I binned it...nothing like ravioli should be
  • I find this with a lot of things - new & improved recipe always means it tastes worse and I stop buying it! Why can't they just leave things alone!

    threemuttleys - complain to heinz about it :) you might get something nice in the post from them
  • I agree with you! I also find that their spaghetti hoops are vile now too, and their spaghetti bolognaise. I think it is because they are reducing the salt to meat gov. targets and putting other stuff in to compensate. I used to LOVE Heinz ravioli - had it on toast every now and then, but not any more!

  • Have you tried any other brands?

    Not sure about the likes of Aldi though Lidl's Tinned Coquette Ravioli Bolognese, 800g, if it must be a tin and ravioli... then this will do at a push.

    Must say, I'm not keen on tinned ravioli though. Think I prefer something along the lines of cannelloni to be honest.

    I tried some Oaktree Ridge (?) ravioli last night. My OH likes it a lot but I thought the sauce was a bit too runny and not tomatoey/heinz enough, bit too sweet for me and the meat didnt taste the same either

    Aldi ravioli is really nice if you like the tinned stuff - I even eat the odd tin of it myself if pushed for time, bit of parmesan on top and its even better! I buy it because my grandkids dont like the Heinz one - even before they changed it! in fact they prefer the Aldi sausage and beans too (its become quite a game to me to see how many sausages they put in the tin - minimum of eight but often its nine and one week I found ten in there!
