Vale Cheds

published

I grew up with Cheds and I would buy a packet about once week. They would be great on fishing and camping trips and were great for entertaining. I bought the new flavor and returned them to Coles thinking they were off only to find Arnott's had changed the recipe. Cheds not are not fit to feed to animals, Stuff you Arnott's I will NEVER buy any of your products again

Can't believe it

published

Can't believe Arnott's has done it again I loved the old Cheds bought a pack today and am distressed by the dramatic change for the worst. First shapes now Cheds Why change? why? We're you inundated with people begging you to change? Was there a campaign to change them I can't recall anything.

Agreed with everyone here

published

The new flavour of Cheds is unexpected and very disappointing. Just got back from overseas to find this. Sadly with Cheds I don't see the same energy brewing for the better quality previous version as with the Shapes saga. Shame.

Arnotts new Cheds recipe is terrible

published

The new Arnotts Cheds recipe is terrible. They're dense and stick to the roof of your moutht. Arnott's misleads their customers.

Cheds are just a larger version of cheddar shapes

published

What a disappointment when I bought a packet of Cheds today. I remember them as really cheesy and addictive, now they are just plain with a small amount of artificial cheese flavouring on top. Arnott's are just trying to save money by using the same recipe as Shapes, but you've lost me as a customer.

Arnott's down the tube

published

It's such a shame to see my favourite biscuits go down the drain, it's got to the stage no name generic biscuits taste better and better value for money. It got to the stage I won't touch an Arnott's product. Management should be replaced.

Awful what have you done now!

published

Arnott's please replace your management as it is obvious you have no idea what your doing. You changed the shapes and they are revolting, I purchased the cheds and they truly are just as bad.

I will be avoiding ALL Arnott's products in the future. An absolute disgrace!!

What's been done to our Cheds?

published

Been a big fan of cheds for years. I lived in the USA for nearly 8 and used to take a suitcase full back with me as my husband and friends loved them. We are back in Australia and were excited we could get cheds anytime now, but they are not the same. What's happened to the delicious cheesy flavour? I wish Arnotts would stop changing recipes for biscuits that have been best sellers for a long time. Won't be taking any back on our visit to the US. Would hate to disappoint our friends.

Ched's

We have purchased Arnotts Cheds for the last 30 years, i have found the news recipe is sub standard and not worth of the name. This has been an on going problem with savoury Arnotts products. As you promote the product as a cheese based biscuit i am of the opinion there is more cheese flavour in a Sao. We will not be purchasing and more of this line unless you reverse you recipe back to the original recipe and have a serious look at your marketing team to address the needs of you loyal Australian customers I have rated chess as 1 as there is not a option to rate 0

Why don't Cheds taste the same

published

I have been enjoying Cheds with cheese and tomato for lunch 3 or 4 times a week for the past decade. Unfortunately I will have to find a substitute because Cheds no longer are the delicious, cheesy, crunchy (but not hard) biscuit I have enjoyed. I will not be buying them again unless they revert to their original recipe. Come to think of it, many biscuits in the Arnotts range are now ver disappointing.

What's happened to Cheds

published

I last had Cheds in 2012,but just recently I purchased a packet from Coles but to my dismay they were nowhere as enjoyable as in 2012.

Poor man's cheddar shapes

published

The only way I can get the "some what" taste is thru the chedds
Bring back cheddar cheese shapes! !

A sad demise for a great biscuit

published

The new Ched is not a shadow on the old one. Gone is the texture, gone is the flavour. It will leave a gaping hole in my grocery basket but I will not be buying any more.

Bring back the original recipe!!!

published

I used to open a pack of cheds and wonder where they went! After buying a pack of the new cheds crackers I had trouble finishing them, and have to share them with my friends to get rid of them.

Horrible Horrible Horrible

I tried the 'new Cheds' today and will not be buying them again. What were Arnotts thinking to change the previously delicious Cheds and foist this new ghastly biscuit on us. Shame on Arnotts

'Cheds' have changed

published

Arnott's are obviously cost-cutting and using cheaper ingredients. Their motto, 'There's no substitute for quality', not only has disappeared from the packaging, but is very evident in the product/s itself.

Cheds are still quite good flavour-wise, but is lacking the crunchy biscuit, which is why we bought them.

You've all but destroyed 'Shapes' Arnott's, and your other products are very noticeably worse. I would like to believe that your greed is going to backfire on you, as it appears to be doing.

Shamefull really.

Great alternative to the Arnotts Chedder shapes flavour Arnotts ruined.

published

Love the taste similar to the original Chedder shape range that was ruined recently. The only cheese biscuits I will buy in the future.

An alternative to the Cheddar Shapes which Arnotts ruined

published

Arnotts Cheds with real Pecorino Cheese seem not to have been ruined yet. They still taste like a really nice cheese biscuit. So, currently, there is an alternative to the Cheddar Shapes which have been ruined.

Have you changed your recipe? The last packet of Cheds that I bought had no cheesy flavour. Very dissappointed as I buy them for the cheesy flavour.

Has the recipe really changed? I think they taste fantastic. I love them to the point of overkill... Thankyou for the amazing work you do. I'd also like to offer to sponsor Cheds through my band, if you are interested Arnotts please contact me.

It all depends on what batch number you get. I have found some have lots of the cheesy flavor and not really brown. On the other hand there are some with hardly any cheese on them. And very dark in colour. Which tastes really bitter. Trust me l use to live on them. I will only buy one packet at a time look at the batch number and if they are really brown l wont buy anymore of that number. But l still look when l am in the shop and if the batch number has change, l will buy it again and just go from there until the perfect ones are available. Just try different batch numbers and you will then see what l am talking about

Hi Barb C, yes they have changed and for the worse - they are now over baked as you suggest and completely tasteless, what happened to the cheese ? Cheds have been a family favorite for ever but we will not buy them again. Cheers Pat M
