Pepperidge Farm Inc.

Charleston Birthday Cake Cookies: Pepperidge Farm was founded by Margaret Rudkin and it's quite an astonishing story. I can't do it justice here as it would take too long, but here's the succinct version. In 1929 Margaret and her husband moved into Pepperidge Farm located in Fairfield, CT. The farm was named after an ancient Pepperidge tree that grew there. Margaret was not a baker by trade but picked it up as her son had severe allergies and asthma, prohibiting him from eating most commercial processed foods. Through trial and error, Margaret concocted a delicious all-natural sone ground whole wheat bread that not only her son, but others found to be delicious, and Pepperidge Farm was born. I'm a sucker for birthday cake flavored treats, which brings us to the Charleston Birthday Cake coo

Pepperridge Farms Bakery used to be my "GO TO BAKER" for cookies, rolls, breads, etc. NOT ANYMORE. I have in front of me, (1) Pkg. of (UPC No. 14100 07098) ONION with POPPY Seeds (15 oz.). While I realize the making & vending & selling of breads & rolls these days in USA is a pretty rough & hard core business, but so much has been lost in this once great brand. These rolls are so oversugared, NOT SURE WHY? They were absolutely flattened when I bought them & they remain, so. The ONION & POPPY SEED is almost non-existent on this brand. I paid premium price for terrible products here. Inside these rolls are sticky on top, gushy, sweet & rather disgusting. It seems that most hamburger rolls are like this now? Heavy, thick & sqooshy with almost no taste or any redeeming qualities @ all! While

I have loved this brand since I was a child, and I am thrilled by how amazing the flavors still taste, even to my more sophisticated adult palate. The Goldfish Crackers are of course superb, and the Chessmen Cookies are better than any bakery shortbread that I have ever had (and I've tried A LOT of shortbread, both in the EU and the Americas!). I also love the specials - this year, my daughter and I were thrilled to snag two bags of Old Bay Goldfish Crackers (which: YUM.). Thank you, Pepperidge Farm!! :D

They do not appreciate good bread packers

My family and I have been loyal customers for 60 + years. And my father had the pleasure of knowing Margaret Rudkin. For the past several MONTHS we have found the Pepperidge Farm shelf out of stock on Cinnamon Raisin Swirl and Rye Bread regularly. I have complained to the market manager and even some mid level individual at Pepperidge about this ongoing issue. NOTHING HAS CHANGED OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS. AND .... I have even respectfully reached out to Ellen Passero, Director of Consumer Care, with a VM a couple of weeks ago and have gotten no response. Absolutely amazing! Not the Pepperidge Farm co. I remember.
