Coles Frozen Potato Royals

Why add the corn and dextrose.. just why – I used to love the coles brand 'potato gems' because it had 3 ingredients.. potato, oil and salt.. and they tasted soo good.. then after some time realised they tasted funny and left a weird texture in the mouth.. well I checked the ingredients and there it was.. maize was added.. this was a long time ago they added it and now recently added… Read more

corn starch...WHY WHY WHY WHY WHHHHHHHY

We used to have these potato royals all the time.. at least weekly.. but after the ingredients changed, it was more of a 'just in case' the potatoes went bad or needed a last minute quick and easy side dish..

What are these companies doing... nobody wants corn or corn derivatives because it's GMO. There is a large list of reason why nobody wants corn. Anybody who is health conscious or have children care about these things.

Here is a tip for Coles.. THE LESS INGREDIENTS THE BETTER.. We don't want ingredients we can't read.. we don't want ingredients with a number.. we don't want ingredients that we don't know where it comes from such as FLAVOURS ... flavours from what? We all know natural flavours are 'natural' so flavours is what..?... synthetic flavours.. nobody wants this in their food. Even the natural flavours.. when you investigate what these natural flavours are they can't disclose that information because it comes from a different company. COME ON. You want your stuff to run off the shelf like bellfarms.. stop putting the other crap in with the potatoes!

Some of the coles brand products are superior to other brands.. until they change and are no longer.

Here's another one... yeast extract.. this is one that people react to also.. why add it in your food.. If it's frozen.. why are you adding preservatives and a whole bunch of crap that people don't want. Colours. There's a long list of colours that have been taken off the shelf at Aldi. Why even bother adding colour to foods like apple pie for example. Is it really necessary?

Either way... the more toxic stuff that goes in the food.. the more people will cook from scratch and not bother with this unhealthy packaged stuff. Convenience just isn't worth it these days.. It's all about meal prepping.. make a bunch of our own potato gems and freeze them. Least we know what we're eating.

I would love to see Coles brand start dropping these ingredients from their food. Keep it simple and natural.
