An open letter to Kraft Foods

Posted By on July 6, 2009

Dear Kraft Foods:

I was going to submit comments or send an email via your website, but the “Contact Us” link brings me to a FAQ, with no discernible way to actually contact you. Therefore, you get a public letter which everyone can read.

I recently purchased one of your “Miracle Whip – All Out Squeeze” products, which feature a nonstick squeeze bottle in order to be able to get all of the dressing out of the container. I regret to inform you that I will no longer be purchasing this product, as I believe that the nonstick bottle coating is leeching into the product. Once consumed, the nonstick ingredient affects my bowels similar to the dressing.

I confirmed this by the following methodology:
Day 1: Turkey sandwich with Miracle Whip
Result: Distress

Day 2: Ham sandwich with Miracle Whip
Result: Distress.

Days 3 and 4: The same turkey and ham, but with no miracle whip.
Result: Nothing abnormal.

Day 5: Turkey with Miracle Whip
Result: Distress

I feel this to be pretty conclusive proof.

Further, since my local grocer no longer sells small containers of Miracle Whip save in squeeze bottles, I will no longer be purchasing this product.

Sincerely,

Matthew Caron
