Del Monte Sliced Bartlett Pears, 15 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Arrived fine. Expiration date no problem. A few small dents in in some cans. Not disappointed at all. I find dents in the store shelves also. This size works well for me. Great taste. Great value for the money.

Shrikflation has resulted in a much smaller quantity being placed in each can, but it is still the same quality. If they shrink it again, the can manufacturing company is going to have to make smaller cans because it already looks ridiculously under filled. When times get dicy, I stock up on canned goods. Hence the reason I bought 12 at once.

This product is not overcooked as some other brands can be. The light syrup makes it so you can taste the pear & not sugar. I keep a heavy food pantry due to the weather conditions where I live. Really appreciate the regular cans as they will last longer in the food pantry as well as environmentally sound packaging. It's recyclable. Another company is putting fruits in plastic containers which my recycle company doesn't want to take even I'm not expecting to be paid but come on it's plastic. Also plastic allows odors and fumes from other things to permeate the product inside. Tin is impermeable and thus the food can last well let's see I just finished eating to my shop I can of beans dated 2009. They tasted like beans.

I've been enjoying these pears lately and have been impressed that the cans aren't destroyed. It seems to be a thing usually, dented cans. I'll continue to by a couple of cases a month as long as the cans keep coming in great shape. The expiration dates are a couple of years, too. I'm buying the pop top pears in light syrup. Once they came without pop top, but that's a minor inconvenience compared to dented to heck. Lol

Soft. Not real sweet
