Nowhere in the description does it state the Lac-Resin coating is applied. The cuties brand usually doesnt use it. PEELZ does. The picture shows cuties. While it does say various brands may he available, the disclosure of the lac-resin should be listed. This stuff doesnt wash off hands easily. I will not let my kids peel these. I swiped my phone after peeling one of theae and the resin was on my screen. Inpossible to just wipe or wash off. Since its a pritective coating meant to stay on.

I'm pobably not going to buy these any more here. Every time we have , about 4-5 days later, at least one cutie is covered with green and the rest are soft. I know from being in the business that this is an environmental QC problem where the fruit is exposed to spores in the packaging environment. There is a rinse to kill the spores but has to be done early on, unfortunately once the spores infect the fruit the rinse is ineffective. I'll find a different brand. Others have mentioned the mushy fruit. Surprised this hasn't been dealt with, and now i'm addressing Sam's Club QC.

Searched for bag of good oranges, however many bags already contained very soft of molded oranges. Though i snagged a pretty good bags after searcing. Got home and had to throw out 4 oranges as they had meldew, checked the rest of the oranges but to my supeise 4 days in and already have several more mussy and oranges starting to mold. 4 more lost and we eat a few daily no more left 8 trashed back to buy more.

I purchased a bag of these and when I got them home and out of the bag, they were dried up and like wood inside. Hardly any juice but you couldn't tell that by just trying look through the thick mesh bag. Waste of money. Also bought a container of grapes the same day and when you take the grapes out, there was a bunch of grapes that were all wilted and funky looking but you couldn't see that either because they had fresh looking grapes all around so you couldn't see the bad ones. I lived 70 miles (round trip) away from the closet Sam's Club. Gas is not cheap! I doubt that I will buy any fruit from Sams again.

I have purchased these about 15 times in the last year on the bases that my kids love clementines and i don't have the leisure ability to go to another grocery store. However, nine out of the 10 times they were very old and dry. Sometimes I would just juice them fearing they would go bad quickly.

About half the time I order these they are good to great. The other half the time they are fair to bad. About 2 weeks ago I received a bag that was great, only had 1 rotten one. A week ago I picked up another bag and all but about 12 were rotten, 1 was liquid like and leaking pretty bad.

The past 2 packs I bought of these had a lot of bitter ones. I bought the second bag because I thought the first bag with some bitter ones was just a one off. Discussions with friends makes it sound like this is common at Sam's but not the local groceries.

The tangerines came and Could not eat them. Some were so rotten that almost hollowed out from the inside. I know Sam’s would refund me if I took them back but I’m not able to take them back as I’m sick. That’s why I paid $18 extra to have fruits delivered to me. Now I can’t eat them

5 Clementines in a 5 pound bag were moldy. The bag of Mandarins was picked out by an associate as part of my on-line pick-up order. My advice to associates and shoppers is, "look and smell the bag before putting it in the cart". I ended up getting almost 4 pounds of fruit for the price of 5 pounds.

The first one I ate was a bit “mushy”. It was okay but was getting close to taking a turn for the worse. Unfortunately, this was true for the entire bag. Within a few days, the skin began to turn dry and discolored. I finally threw them away — after 4 days. A bad batch in this timeframe, to be sure.
