Packaging and Freshness

Pros:

• "Every package was fresh and was the perfect amount. My kids and I enjoyed them."
• "Best 10 bucks I've spent this month. Happy bags were sealed and contents fresh."
• "These arrived fresh."

Cons:

• "I'm disappointed with this product. It came in a box with other items, but the box looks to have been busted open and taped back together. I'm hoping to get a replacement."
• "Wish I would have read the reviews before buying. Box was slightly opened and a couple bags weren't sealed and spilled out."
• "The box was sealed but 2 or 3 of the individual packages were opened!"
• "Box just arrive and packages of cheddar bunnies were open. Inside of the box covered in grease."
• "One of the packages was open (unsealed) and the contents were spilled upon arrival."
• "Of course when I opened the box one package was empty and another package was open and stale."
• "As the other reviews mentioned, the box arrived with several unsealed packages with contents that spilled out into the shipping box."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Two pounds of snacks for a fair price."
• "These are great but I don't understand why they are so expensive."
• "We love these- they're affordable (when purchased during deals) and feel like a much healthier option than many other convenience snacks."

Cons:

• "Packaging is also small in comparison to price."
• "This product was decently expensive, for the value of the product, it would not be worth taking the risk and purchasing from this seller again."
• "You don’t really get a lot for your money. Not worth it in my opinion."
• "Very expensive though. I only buy them when they are on sale."
• "These were great when the price was around $10...not really worth it now that the price has almost doubled."
• "Only four stars due to them being a bit more costly than other brands."
• "It's not balance there are too many cheese crackers and they are crazy salt. Nothing healthy about this for a toddler."

Quality and Ingredients

Pros:

• "These are made of quality ingredients that I trust."
• "I will be buying more Cheddar Bunnys because of the quality ingredients and the taste."
• "Annie’s is a healthy alternative for snacking, I never feel guilty for chowing down on Annie’s snacks."
• "I love Annie’s products. I just wish they would use anti inflammatory oils like coconut oil instead of the crap they use."
• "It is fresh. Delicious taste like goldfish and cheese it but they are organic without the harsh chemicals."
• "I love Annie's and like that they are a healthier, organic option."
• "The best thing about these snacks other than being organic and DELICIOUS is that the ingredients are all balanced very well."

Cons:

• "If you like off brand goods this would be for you. However for me and my family this was not the case. The taste is not there and it taste off."
• "Delicious but also a lot of the ingredients are not organic, although the product labels itself overall as organic... will not buy again."
• "I don't like that they contain Sunflower oil but it is expeller pressed so it's better than chemically processed sunflower."
• "One of the snack bags was completely empty. Quality control could be better. Snacks themselves taste good. Wish it didn't have phosphate additives as I have kidney disease and the extra phosphorus is a no-no."
• "The cheese crackers have significantly higher sodium per serving compared to other famous brand. Disappointed because I thought Annie’s supposed to be a little more premium option than other kinds."
• "The cracker variety pack is NOT gluten free!!!!! It clearly states wheat flour in the ingredients!"
• "I was searching for vegan candy and snacks for Halloween and this was one of the first options, when I got the package I’m reading the ingredients and it has milk!"

Convenience

Pros:

• "I like that there is a variety & they're small packs so I don't waste a whole bag just giving her a few."
• "The packets are the perfect size for snacking or on-the-go."
• "The portion sizes are perfect for little ones, they come in individual packs great for sending for snacks at school."
• "I normally prepackage snacks in snack size baggies when we got out and about however these are great to have in hand as an easy grab and go snack when we’re in a hurry."
• "Love grabbing these for my toddler when we’re leaving the house to go run errands or head to the park!"
• "These are great for little hands, but I put a bowl out at a recent party (or adults), and they disappeared before everything else."
• "I love these snacks bc they come in individual packages."

Cons:

• "When I got this package the box was demolished and everything was in tiny crumbs."
• "Needless to say, I threw the whole thing out."
• "Every single package was gut-wrenchingly, gag-inducingly rancid and the entire set had to be thrown away."
• "For some Odd reason my grandkids Didn't like these and neither did I... I've tasted better, way better."
• "We were looking for snacks for our 10 month old and found this organic offer. I guess I should have checked better, was very disappointed that one of the products had sugar and the other one has honey (which is dangerous under 12 month)."
• "When I opened the box, it was filled with ants!"
• "I also wish this boxes came with the box tops like they do when you purchase in the store."

Environmental and Health Consciousness

Pros:

• "A great gateway snack away from fake food, fat, sugar, salt... and all the other stuff that you wish you could quit eating."
• "These are a great alternative to traditional snack packs, with better, more natural ingredients."
• "Trying to be a lot better about the snacks I buy for our household and we've switched our crackers to the Annies brand."

Cons:

• "These snacks could be put into wax paper bags with nice printing or patterns. A lot of people don't know that Annie's is no longer a cute little small business the parent company is General Mills."
• "I don't like the packaging though. This kind of plastic will be around for generations after me and my children are long gone. That's totally unacceptable."
• "These snacks could be put into wax paper bags with nice printing or patterns... General Mills: Get with the program and start packing your organic products in biodegradable or recyclable packaging."
• "I ordered these December 29. The best by date is January 9. This is unacceptable for a bulk package of kid’s food... I tried to return but it said it was ineligible."
