Stupid new round containers

published

The new round yogurt tubs are terrible. Please go back to the old shape. My wife picked up the container from in the fridge and the lid came off and the container fell to the floor spilling yogurt everywhere. They are too big and very difficult to handle. If you don't change the container we will be forced to buy other yogurt. Peter.

NEW PACKAGING

published

I am an elderly lady and find the new 900 ml. round container much more difficult to handle.
Please think again about this.

New Packaging

I hate the new round tub, I also found the aluminium inner cover difficult to remove and then the lid didn't fit and was too loose. I also found the shape difficult to handle. Why change the shape of a perfectly good container, if it isn't broken don't fix it.
Please go back to the old shape. Eileen

Problem packaging

published

Bought a 900g tub of Vaalia probiotic yoghurt in Natural on Saturday. The tub is round, rather than its former rectangular shape. Not only was the inner aluminium cover difficult to remove but, having achieved that, the green plastic lid does not fit the carton firmly and being too large, I consider the carton's content will then be open to contamination. NOT HAPPY Vaalia!

New packaging

published

As I took the new high 900ml tub of Vaalia yoghurt out the refrigerator, the tub bent in my hand, the lid flew off and it went all over the floor. So annoying. Not a good start to the day. The old tubs were so much sturdier and the lid stayed on. Bring back the old tubs.

I love Vaalia natural yogurt, BUT I hate the new round tubs, the lid is so loose and if you pick it up out of the fridge you need both hands or it could end up on the floor yuk!!! It also takes up more room in the fridge than the original tub. In this case the old style is better. Please reconsider.

Why change something that’s terrific!!

published

I agree with all the below. My absolute favourite yoghurt especially the lemon and passion fruit. Now it’s like chalk or something. Please bring back the old smooth as velvet!!!

Excellent probiotic strains used in their yogurt

published

Vaalia's combination of probiotic strains in their yogurt appear to be unique. They don't any problems and appear to be beneficial. That's why I only choose them. I only get the plain yogurt as I think all flavoured yogurts from all brands have way too much sugar.

Yuck... bring back the old recipe!!!

published

Really sad, the recipe has changed! Used to love the vanilla 900g tubs, now it tastes powdery & artificial. :( Will not be buying again, regardless if it is on special.

Far too sweet

published

I have been buying passionfruit Vaalia for years. Now, i just realised why it tastes so sweet, it has added sugar. Not happy. Won't be buying it again.

You have ruined my yogurt breakfast

published

Have been enjoying Vaalia low fat French Vanilla yogurt for breakfast for many years........I absolutely hate the new version......how could you guys get it so wrong???? Don't you test new products before releasing them, everyone I have asked about the change dislikes it.
Please change it back.....I saw a review from someone in Tasmania who said you have there, can you please change it back in Victoria too, I really miss my yogurt.

Dislike the new valiant.

Preferred the old recipe, sadly don't like it so much now. Guess will have to find a new one. Only just got my husband to eat yogurt and now he says no more for him.

Thank you for listening to customers.

published

I was pleased to see my favourite Vaalia Vanilla yoghurt back on the Coles shelves yesterday, the way it was. After my brickbat you deserve a bouquet. Thank you and well done, it's really appreciated.

A change "NOT" for the better!

published

The change to the taste and texture is not to my liking. Previously, I would purchase Vaalia over most other yoghurts, however, now I will buy whatever is on special. I also agree with other comments on the lid not fitting securely as the old packaged product. Just have to take care in removing the container from the fridge.

Vaalia Low Fat Yoghurt - Why Change??

published

I agree totally with previous reviewer and dietician. I looked for a low fat alternative but it seems to be no longer available. Perhaps if they had lowered the sugar content it may have been feasible but sadly they did not. Also the container has changed - it is terrible as the lid pops off as you grab it out of the fridge. I also used the empty containers a lot to freeze food or give it away. I no longer will be able to due to the lid. I will now be searching for a new yoghurt.

What a sad day

published

Vaalia French Vanilla everyday for breakfast for years & years & ........ But today I opened a 'new' version. Thicker, creamier & distinctly different taste- simply awful. Sadly I didn't read the pack before I bought 6 x 900 gram new tubs. Purchased by habit! Simply sinful for a Dietitian! Fat now 2.7 - up from 1.4, increased sugar & energy levels. Outcome: stop recommending to clients, start trying other brands & offer 5 tubs to family & friends. Parmalat your new product testing needs review.
Sad consumer

Not the same!

published

I use to love Vaalia yoghurt, it was all I bought, now having to eat gluten free for medical reasons I wasn't sure if Vaalia was gluten free but to my surprise it is, so purchased one. I was disappointed, It doesn't taste the same as it did and will return to buying brands that are gluten free and have taste.

Why change?

published

The presumably new formula contains 26kj more per 100g, 1.3g more fat in total of which more is saturated fats, 0.9g less carbs, 1.3g less sugar, 5mg less sodium and 10mg less calcium. It doesn't taste nearly as nice and the lid won't stay on.

The taste & texture has changed - not for the better

published

What have you done to the yogurt & the lids? The taste has changed of the yogurt that I have purchased in the 900G cartons. The lids don't fit properly any more once opened. I did a comparison of the ingredients from an older carton & the new and both fat & sugar levels have gone up. You would think that would be an improvement of the taste, but it's not. Very disappointed.

What's Changed - it doesn't taste as good

published

Bought two large tubs of French Vanilla as I usually do each week from Coles, the seal is different, the taste is nothing like we've had before,
would like some answers, will take it back to the store tomorrow.
