Always bought Young's pecans at Sam's but the Sam's I was at, had Daily Chef. They were a little cheaper than Young's but the quality was disappointing. Tasted old and the date on the bag was good through 2015. I hope all Sam's don't change to Daily Chef or I'll be going elsewhere to buy pecans. About the only reason I have a Sam's membership.

I used to keep these pecans in my house, if I ran out, I would buy more. The last 3 times I purchased they were dry. A lot of them were black and I had to throw the black ones away. I thought that it was a bad batch. I bought them the 3rd time with the same results. I will not purchase again. I expect better from you Sam's Club.

HORRIBLE is the only way to describe these pecans. I tried them on 2 different occasions, several months apart, and they were HORRIBLE both times. I'll go without Pecans before I'd buy another bag of these Pecans. I've come to expect much more from Sam's products. I'd be ashamed to put my name on these.

Purchased this brand because the old brand is no longer at Sam's. Made a very large batch of cookies for a client and had to toss them all and make something else; waste of my time and ingredients. Nuts were stale. Thought maybe it was just a bad batch of nuts so purchased another bag. Opened them and tasted them, same bad flavor. Fed them to the squirrels. They are priced right but I cannot use them. Hope the old brand comes back into stock.

I bought Daily Chef 2# pecan halves on 12/14/2015 for holiday cooking. They ruined my holiday cooking! I had bought some of these pecans recently and they were great but not this bag. They tasted terrible! (old?). The best by date is 7-01-2016, SN-SS-SN Vendor 577775. The package says quality is guaranteed and comments/complaints should be directed to the toll free number or this website. I usually buy local pecans but since I had bought these earlier and they were very good I trusted using these in my holiday cooking. A very wasteful, expensive lesson. Had to give it 1 star but didn't deserve even 1!

I have been buying shelled pecans at Sam's for years because of the value and the quality of the product. This year, however, our Sam's switched to this brand and I hope they will switch back before next Christmas. The pecans are shriveled and dried out looking. They taste is actually ok but the halves are such a dark brown that they look burnt. I used them for baking but did not like using them as garnish or decoration where they could be seen. I hope the other brand will come back soon so I can continue to purchase at Sam's

Up until a year or so ago, when we bought the "Daily Chef" branded 32 oz packages of pecan halves, they were consistently excellent. Sweet, juicy, with an excellent pecan flavor. But when they switched to being branded "Member's Mark" they most certainly are NOT the same, despite what they say above. Out of three batches we've bought at our club, two have been outright rancid, and the one batch that wasn't overtly rancid is, at best, stale... borderline rancid. You can tell they've either been stored improperly for a very long time, or they were somehow bad when packaged. The rancid smell is apparent immediately upon opening the package before you even try tasting them. The last pack, which I just bought a few days ago, has a "best if used by" date that is two months SOONER than the package I got a few months ago! And, it's rancid. It, like another batch, is goung back for a refund. I'm giving up on Sams as a source for pecans. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, I must be a complete fool! Well, never again. The price is hard to beat, but the nuts are stale at best, and often rancid, at least at our club.

Used to be you could count on Sam's to carry nice, plump, great tasting pecans for holiday recipes, but with each bag I've purchased, I've noticed they only seem to go downhill. I would rather pay more for a product that isn't a shriveled, bitter nut that ruins recipes.

I bake on an almost industrial scale. I prefer pecans to walnuts and other cheaper nuts because the flavor is preferred by almost everyone I bake for. This was not an issue as Sam's Club had great pecans at unbelievable prices. Since changing brands, the quality has plummeted. The new pecans are almost inedible. How is it a deal if your baked goods end up terrible tasting because of nuts that should have been rejected at the processing facility (or perhaps they were and are now set aside for Sam's Club?). 10+ years of buying thousands of dollars worth of baking products at Sam's and I am now evaluating all of my baking ingredient purchases that used to be no brainers at the club. I don't understand why Sam's couldn't have just bumped the prices up a little and continued to provide the quality members had come to expect. Most people understand that good quality costs money - and Sam's still would have had a great product at a good price.

I have been buying this product for years from Sams. This particular time there is something obviously different in the nuts themselves. I do not know if they have gotten a different supplier or it was a bad pecan crop but these were not up to the quality that I have come to expect from Sams. Being from the South, I grew up with pecans all over the place in our yard and have enjoyed some of the best. These are chalky or mealy textured. If they were baked, I would say they were overdone. They are dry and have a slight bitterness to them. My wife will not eat them at all. I am sure they would make a halfway decent pie but as for eating them plain, they are way below par and I am very disappointed. I hope that if Sams went elsewhere to get their pecans, that they will reconsider the decision for the future. I will buy again but if they taste like these do then that will be the end for us and this brand.
