I have been eating and loving Claussen pickles for well over 30 years now, and the other day I bought a new jar of Claussen sandwich slices and noticed immediately that something was wrong/off… my first indication was the color of the pickles themselves. One can always tell a Claussen from other inferior pickles because they remain bright/light green thanks to the Claussen promise of “always chilled, never heated” (as noted on the jar lids forever).
Well, today I pulled out one of my older jars and did a jar-to-jar comparison and discovered THIS MALFEASANCE: Claussen has placed a sticker on the lid to cover the “ALWAYS CHILLED NEVER HEATED”!!!!!
Does anyone have info about this and why/when it changed or when they started putting these stickers over the promise on the lids? I am infuriated, sad, and disgusted about this and need answers!
(I am attaching two pictures: one of the two jars side by side and another after I partially peeled back the sticker on the newer jar to reveal the broken promise underneath!)
