They looked good when I cut them out of their bag. They smelled great when I removed the foil and basted them. But they are NOT RIBS!!! They are 75% a pig’s spine, with 10% little rib bones and 15% actual meat, totally covered with a thick marinade so you can’t see its a huge length of spine! Ribs are RIBS. Not a full length of spinal bone and cartilage, with a few little ribs hanging off it. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST “RIBS” you can buy. Show details
Delicious! So tender and amazing flavour. I would've tasted if it was chemically (I'm sensitive to that), but it was very natural tasting. Better than any restaurant ribs I've had. Show details
These taste like a chemical cocktail. You cannot even tell they are pork. They were inedible and ended up in the bin. Do not buy Show details
Bland taste, unappealing won't buy again. Far inferior to the Beak and Sons Pirk Ribs that Aldi used to stock. Please get the Beak and Sons ribs back. Show details
Follow-up · Aldi please bring back the Beak & Sons BBQ Pork ribs. They were the best.
Bone shards in every mouthful. Very dangerous. Will not buy again. Need to be taken off the market Show details
The bone shards make it inedible! Which is so sad because the sauce is so yum and the meat is so tender. But every single bite you’re pulling bone shards out of your mouth/ teeth. So yuck Show details
Average, at best – So very dry. Need a drink to provide some moisture. Also, 'spices'? Can you list them as someone who has some sensitivities, it would be nice to see an actual list. You're not KFC. Show details
Not worth the money due to lack of taste – Plenty of meat, but no flavour at all. A few tiny bones, but to be expected if machine cut. I zapped mine in the microwave with a cover. Very runny juice and I removed blobs of solid fat before cooking. Show details
don't buy taste nation ribs – Just tried these ribs and they came in a full size box...1.5 ft and i opened it and there was only 5 ribs what the [Content Removed]...and they were all broken ...aldi dropped the ball give me my money back you [Content Removed] Show details
Tasty but dangerous! Bone shards in every bite – Tasted good, but full of bone shards. There was a warning about "naturally occuring small bone" this is deceptive. The bone shards are from the ribs being cut and not prepared properly!! They are 2-5mm wide. Im terrified my kids consumed them. Will never buy again. Show details
Full of bone shards - BEWARE – The above says that this product has been discontinued. That is incorrect as I purchased them this week. BEWARE - FULL OF BONE SHARDS. On memory I realised that I had purchased these roughly 2 years ago and they were also full of bone shards. This product, whilst it tasted great, is dangerous. I wouldnot recommend purchasing these for that reason. Show details
Beware the bone shards! – Tasted good, very small portion, mainly bones. Be VERY careful of bone shards through the meat. Wouldn't buy again! Show details
Tasty flavoursome ribs – Ribs were so tender and tasty. Lots of meat on the bone compared to other brands. The bbq flavour was enjoyable and would definitely buy again and I’m not a fan of precooked/marinated food but I did enjoy these. Show details

Very happy with these – Bought these and cooked in air fryer for about 15min at 200. Cut into two and stood up in my small 5l basket and poured marinate over 3times during cook. They were great and plenty of meat for me,I didn't have anything else with the rack.would be a nice meal for two people with some vegetables. Show details
Delicious! – First time trying these ribs and we were super impressed! Maybe 3 bone shards in the whole pack and my husband and I thought it was plenty for two people (we made a side of broccoli) We cooked in the air fryer for 15 mins after cutting into four pieces and turned once. Will definitely purchase again. Show details
This is most represented!!!! – I was shocked once I opened this product to smell the aroma of male pig.......no asian and also others that know the correct animal to consume will never buy this product. The highly tainted taste let alone aroma during cooking will turn away anyone that knows the right ingredients to make a good pork related product, even when home cooking. Most disapointed in this product and wont buy it ever again. Show details
Rip off – Definitely doesn’t feed two, I expected a long rib because of the size of the packaging, only 4 tiny ribs in there. Bought these for the protein as it said 47gr protein per servings (2 servings), would be generous to call it 20gr in the whole pack. Very deceiving marketing Show details
Deceptive packaging – Feeds 2? What? Thought I was getting a long rib because of the size of the packaging. Lucky to feed one person! Needs to be 1.2kg. Not 700g of bone Show details
Not happy – Bought taste nation 700g ribs 500g of bone and maybe 200g of meat , suppose to feed 2, lucky to feed one . Will never buy again Show details
Full of bone shards – Rendered inedible because of bone shards in every bite. These used to be used be ok but this appears to be a persistent problem Show details
Aldi Marinated Pork Ribs - Lots Of Small Bone Shards In Meat – I purchased these and was really looking forward to them even though they were $14.99. The product cooked well and most of the meat fell off the bone but when i tried to eat the meat nearly Every mouthful had shards of tiny sharp bone in it. I ended up having to spit nearly every mouthful out ..... !!! Sauce is good but whatever is cutting these things up it needs to be altered. Not only is it unpalatable but personally i think it's dangerous.
