the oranges were sweet, the natural fruit juice was excellent rather than the syrup.

The box says "packed in Thailand" but the individual cups say they are from China. I am trying to avoid food from China if possible.

I belong to a couple of senior centers. As part of the lunch program, one or another of the individual Dole fruit cups are included. The fruit itself is always delicious, and I appreciate that the fruit is packed in 100% fruit juice. My concern is the packaging. Sometimes these cups open nicely, but frequently the plastic seal over the top adheres so tightly that it is very difficult to open. In this instance, one tries to ease the pull tab up to get it started, but often it begins to open with a jerk and the juice spills - onto the table is aggravating enough, but often it spurts onto one's clothing. Not good, and needs to be addressed.

Sometimes I’ll buy these and I’ll get nice, plump mandarin orange slices. Then other times, I’ll get basically shredded oranges that have very few actual slices. Frustrating when I buy a large box and can’t see the cups before I get home and open the box.

I ordered these three times and all three times the containers were broken and leaked all over everything!!! Sam’s Club obviously doesn’t care because I reported it three times and no response!Also,based on other reviews, this has been happening for a while and they still haven’t corrected the problem. How hard is it to wrap the box in bubble wrap or some other kind of padding before putting it in a shipping box???

Purchased the 16ct Dole mandarin orange cups within the last week. Got home, later opened the box for the first time and over half of the individual cups were coated in dirt. Some worse than others. After thoroughly cleaning them off, the next day I foolishly decided to try one. I want to say that I opened it very carefully and had nothing else around it at the time. Being paranoid however, I looked at it with my phone light and found and easily removed a distinct black speck of dirt from the top inside of the cup, below the seal but close to it. There was dirt inside of the cup. I don't what the manufacturing conditions for these exactly, but clearly it's disgusting. This is disgusting. I haven't touched them since. I'm not purchasing these again and am reconsidering what packaged fruit items I buy from all brands and from Sam's Club.

Mandarin Oranges in fruit juice - this should be so straight forward - fruit juice. I have been eating these for snacks randomly at lunchtime. I was having issues infrequently after lunch., I finally traced down that these were causing me to experience diarrhea, nausea, abdominal cramps/pain, I looked at the label and noticed that I there was an item that I had no idea what it was. I had to Google it - Acerola. WebMD says the following about side effects: Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps/pain, or heartburn may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. What is wrong with just fruit juice from the fruit itself? I check the label to ensure that there is no apple juice as I am deathly allergic to apples. Guess it will be real fruit for me from now on - what could you possibly do to that?

I eat 5 of these a day the best think I have ever had I will be looking forward to my birthday dinner where I am just going to eat these fruit cups! I don’t know what I would do with out them I have gone a week with out them and I thought I was going to die! It was crazy!! I love them so much thank you dole for the best thing my mouth has ever had.

I Love all the Dole Products...and most are on constant rotation in our home to our family a 5. Ever since I was a young girl, Mandarin Oranges have been my absolute favorite out of all fruit, some right in our yard & hand picked...but whenever mandarins came into the house...mine all mine. So, when Dole had these in stores, I tried them...and now buy all the time. They are My Secret Bliss...that I only share with my granddaughter now!!

I buy dole fruit cups for my toddler and the last two times I've gotten the mandarin oranges, they've been bad. I checked the expiration date and they didnt expire until next year but several of the cups actually had black things in them (I'm assuming it was mold) and the others just smelled awful like they had gone bad. I wont be buying these anymore.
