Arnott's Cheds

I'd stopped eating Cheds a few months ago, only because I was so addicted that I was eating too many. They were so tasty, left a flavour in my mouth that made me crave another and yet another biscuit. Then, having a family member coming to stay who also loves them, yesterday I succumbed and bought 2 boxes. I took just ONE bite today of my first… Read more

Ched in months and immediately thought "It's different!". It just doesn't taste the same, not tempting nor mouth watering, not addictive any more. Immediately I did a Google search and found I'm right.

I saw a statement by Arnotts: "“This change does not impact the taste, texture, quality or overall eating experience, and consumers can continue to enjoy the same cheesy flavour they know and love.” It absolutely DOES impact the taste, who are they trying to kid. It's now ordinary, which is probably good :( since I won't be buying them again and so won't be over indulging.

A good while back Arnotts changed their Granita biscuits. They had been a favourite in our family and I'd buy a pack most weeks. The change took away the flavour and the texture which made them special, and I haven't bought them since, nor will I. I hope Arnotts returns to the original Ched recipe. Why ruin good biscuits, why fiddle with a good thing???

I was excited to open my packet of cheds. Haven't had them for a while as I tend to eat the whole box too quickly so I try to resist. Not so this time. Sooooo disappointed. They have no flavor! The cheese on top was almost non existent. I won't be buying them again. I won't even be finishing the packet. I only ate two biscuits, the second one was in hope that I was wrong about the first one. Sad day indeed Show details

arnotts Cheds: we prefer the old flavour of cheds, more cheese flavour. The new recipe of cheds is less cheese flavour and more baked. Not happy arnotts new recipes. Show details

I don't like them anymore. I stopped buying but bought tonight because I had a Cheds' craving - it lasted one bite and reminded me that the buttery yummy crispy lots-of-crumbly cheesy top ched that I used to love has gone forever. So now I have to… Read more

find another favourite savoury biscuit. I think it's going to be Pot Pan spring onion bics .. i hope they've stuck to their original recipe.

Back to their best – Update - Cheds are back to their best again!! I had a great response from Arnott’s who explained that understandably there are minor variations in food products because of minor variations in the raw ingredients. They said to send batch number details in future if I have quality concerns - good advice! This was my favourite cheesy biscuit but… Read more

after being off the shelves for a few weeks this latest box is so bland and disappointing - hardly any cheese flavour and not the same bite. Not sure if I’ll bother buying another box as other brands are now tastier - and presumably more reliable.

Still love them! No matter other’s opinions! – My grandmother had them when I was a kid and they are still great tasting, gave my brother one to try the other day and he’s now hooked! These will be a regular staple in our house. Show details

Love the product, eat them all the time – I love cheds but it’s a bit hit and miss with the cheese on top. Have had a couple of boxes with the minimal amount lately Show details

Change of recipe, NOT HAPPY . The packet used to say made with Pecorino cheese now it doesn’t so clearly it’s not used now They do not have the nice bitey taste anymore and they definitely have less cheesey crunchy crumb on them . Consumers are not st^pid Arnotts, get your act together. Show details

Omg WHY??? That’s it I’ve had these Arnott’s changes .. now Cheds! Do you really want to lose more money by changing all of your greatest biscuit recipes?? I won’t buy them again until the recipe is changed back to original. These are biscuits I used to hide for myself mine mine .. no more!!

CHEDS were one of the best crackers ever created, they are now tasteless. I have eaten CHEDS for many, many years, they are now on the "Don't Purchase" list. PLEASE bring back the original recipe! Show details

Missus got me another packet. How have these managed to get even worse than the packet I purchased a fortnight ago ? Zero crumbly cheese on the biscuit and zero crumbs in the bottom of the bag. Congratulations you greedy Pieces OS, another product worthy of the trash can... Just like your brand, TRASH.

My beautiful Nan used to get me a pack of these on special occasions in the 80s/90s and i absolutely loved them. Today i purchased a box and yet again, it's changed. The look of the box, the ingredients... the taste, utterly garbage. Sadly like the rest of Arnott's products, their greed has destroyed the brand. One of the last Arnott things i… Read more

used to buy and that's now the end of it.

We even got country cheese too and absolutely disgusting. Does anyone in Australia buy your horrid Tim-Tams anymore ? How did you screw them up so bad.... ? Oh yeah, GREED.

Won't be buying anything from your brand again. Surprising how many of our childhood foods we loved that we don't touch now.

Couple things you all have in common is $ GREED $ and a falling customer base.

Only a matter of time until you go under....

Bought these today, they are the biscuit of my childhood that my grandma always had. Gone is the delicious cheese flavour that keeps you wanting more. Bitterly disappointed. Show details

What’s happened to the top?? No more cheesy crumbles…. They kinda suck now. Why change something that was already so good? They are more like a Salada now :( Show details

Wow, I haven't had cheds for a while and bought some today. What a disappointment. Whose idea was it to change them into a now boring cracker. We will be seeing this product discontinue in the near future. Show details

What a disappointment! Now just a boring biscuit not worth buying. Not worth a single star! What has happened to what used to be such a delicious snack. Our favourite for many years. Arnotts, please bring back our old favourite. Show details

Be careful with these, picked them up recently, reminded of my childhood as they were a snack that would almost melt in mouth type of texture with a lot of cheese flavour. These have drastically changed obviously, making me feel extremely fatigued and nauseous after only 4 of them., I then a few days later tried them again and silly me, same… Read more

thing. Itchy skin, dry mouth, nauseous, very fatigued. Overloaded with a layer of salt and other poor ingredients obviously.

Terrible – Not happy Jan, do they really think people will keep buying these cheds you cannot even call it a biscuit they are so thin and salty disappointed will not buy again. Show details

Cheds have been ruined – As of late 2024 cheds have changed and are biscuit like with little flavour and clearly less cheese. Go back to the proper cheds and just charge a little more if need be. Destroying a great product and brand Show details

From cheds to crumbs – All you taste is salt that's if it even gets into your mouth as it just crumbles you can't break them in half anymore without it crumbling and making a mess I definitely won't be purchasing them anymore Show details

Tasteless – Shame Arnotts. These were the best ! Why have you changed them so radically? I stupidly bought yet another packet based on the memory of the Cheds before you changed them. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. You will get no more money from me. Show details

How long til we have nothing left? – I pulled the plastic package out of the box and proceeded to open what I took to be the "bottom" end of the pack. Turns out, the almost-plain side of the crackers is the top, and the reverse side is plainer still. No more big crunchy chunks like an oversized Shapes cracker. Tragic day. Still taste ok, but less enjoyable. Show details

CHEDS ARE NOT GOOD ANYMORE – cheds USE TO BE GOOD, they use to have a grainy COATING ON TOP , now theres NOTHING AND FL;AVOUR HAS GONE DOWN HILL, I SUPPOSE THEY CUT DOWN ON THE COATING TO IMPROVE THEIR PROFIT MARGIN,.,,, Show details

Why have you changed Cheds??? – I absolutely loved Cheds !! What have you done to them!’ No flavour almost like a plain crisp bread, no cheese topping, cannot believe you’ve changed them, so disappointed, won’t bother again. Show details

Cheds now flavourless – Why why change a great biscuit, no cheese coating on top of cheds equals no flavour! What’s next take the sesame out of sesame wheats? Ruin them too? Will not be buying again!!!! Show details

No flavour – The first thing I noticed when I took my first bite was ,they were flavourless. No seasoning on top . They have been my favourite savoury biscuit for many years but I don’t think I’ll buy them again . Very disappointing. Show details

Ruination of a once quality biscuit – This biscuit has slowly been changing over time - less cheese on top - more salt - to no cheese on top and all salt. Easily broken at one stage - broken biscuits everywhere in each packet. Oh, and overcooked from time to time. Now for the latest - they’ve made them thinner - they are harder more like a cracker. Very American which I guess… Read more

reflects their ownership. I’m so over Arnotts - they’ve ruined the whole range over time - Cheds being the latest casualty. Shame on you, you money hungry grubs!
