Nobby's Salted Peanuts

I bought 2 packs of the red salted packs before their expired dates, THEY had a very foul taste like they used car oil to cook or roast them!! First time in 20 years!!! Bad management problem!!!!

"It says focus on facts". Here are the facts. I have no idea who owns this brand at this point but they have gone from great 40 plus years ago to complete crap now and years before this. As an B.Comm. Graduate (many years ago), trust me that this (like many) company is just so endemic in the world now where ... well B.Comm (Accountant for example) graduate "crap" would exploit marketing to promote a product, make it really good then "crap" it for nothing but pure profit and the quality of the product gradually get worse and worse as they buy...

They are supposed to be salted. But the majority of nuts I purchase have the salt at the bottom. I shake them up but the salt still settles to the bottom. They just need a coating to retain the salt. I buy these nuts every shop. Some are fine but the majority have salt at the bottom.

I have eaten Nobby nuts for years but in the last 2 years every other packet I buy I have to dispose of. They are dry, not salted and tasteless.
They are still in date of best before.

Gosh, I keep buying them but they’re just far too salty, I won’t be buying anymore. Disappointed as the peanuts themselves are nice and they’ve been a household name in our family for generations.

I’ve looked all over to contact the company but failed. I buy 1-2 packets each week and have just purchased a pack with so much more salt than normal I think something has gone wrong

Purchased mixed but mostly peanuts. Buy regularly however, lately only 1 in every 3 or 4 packets have a good mixture. Included a sample photo. Could you review your packaging process?

I’m so disappointed. I have been a huge fan of the Nobby’s brand of nuts for at least 40 years. They were always flavoursome with just the right amount of salt, oil and skins (in the beer nuts). Aldi brand nuts were dry with too little salt and lacked the flavour Nobby’s had.
Recently the quality of Nobby’s has stooped to the Aldi nuts level. They could actually be identical, truth be known, but the price of Nobby’s is still significantly higher. I don’t mind paying for a quality product, but unfortunately Nobby’s isn’t high enough quality any...

I do agree with other comments. The taste and quality has dropped. Peanuts seem to have excessive salt to hid the poor flavour. And a shame that the contents are imported. I know times require tighter margins but many companies have survived and flourished because they stuck to their quality control and set standards that other companies strived for. The brand is respected but not the product and soon the brand will also lose the market support.

A few years ago nobbys nuts were the best, then they went through a bad faze. They improved slightly about 2022 and now they are so so so salty, you can't eat them. I mix them 50/50 with aldi peanuts which don't have enough salt. Come on nobby, get your nuts seen to.

Having eaten Nobby's nuts for over 50 years it is disgusting to read on the packet that less then 10% is Australia product. This proven out when you open the packet to find a mixture of dark brown to cream colored in the packet and the flavor matched the poor mixture. that will be the last packet i buy until someone can prove to me they have improved

Bought Nobby salted peanuts recently. To be objective and factual and non aggressive, well ok, they were completely inferior. They were once a good product but now they look awful and the taste matches. No more nibbling Nobby’s for us.

First bag of Nobby's Beer Nuts for years. Disgusted, they taste nothing like peanuts, and having tasted Chinese peanuts they could be twins. I think I will gather rabbit droppings, they should taste better!

Second bag of terrible Nobbys peanuts. The nuts look terrible and taste just as bad, it’s as if they are stale. Have always bought Nobbys but will now be looking for an alternatives.

If the nuts tasted anything like those shown on the packet, they would be half decent. Unfortunately they are hard, dry and tasteless. False advertising. Will not be wasting my money on Nobby’s Nuts again.
