EDIT (SEPT. 2025): I HAVE TRIED GLIER'S GOETTA A FEW TIMES SINCE POSTING THE PREVIOUS REVIEW. IT APPEARS THE "OLD" GLIER"S GOETTA IS BACK. IT NOW HOLDS TOGETHER WELL AND TASTES GREAT. THE PREVIOUS REVIEW NO LONGER APPLIES AS OF NOW. THANKS GLIER"S FOR MAKING THINGS RIGHT AGAIN!

(Previous Review) Gliers Goetta USED to be great stuff. I've eaten it for almost 40 years. The last half dozen times I've bought it and attempted to cook it...it turned into an oatmeal-like watery mush...regardless of how thick I sliced it. You try to flip the patties with a spatula and it just falls apart like oily birdseed. I've spoken to others who had the exact same experience with Gliers. I learned to cook the stuff when I was 10 years old...and I'm now 50 so it's not like I'm cooking it improperly. I never, ever had this problem in earlier decades. NEVER! Telling people to cook it and not attempt to flip it until a crust forms...is a "fix" for dealing with the apparently new formula. We never had to do that years ago. I realize that any product from any manufacturer can occasionally vary due to unavoidable QC issues...but are you going to tell me that the last half dozen tubes of Gliers that I have bought over the past two years are all bad batches? I seriously doubt that is just a coincidence. Apparently something has changed in recent years regarding ingredients and/or processing. Saying that "our recipe and our ingredients haven't changed" is a very weak explanation because there are so many other variables involved in the production of your goetta...quality of those individual ingredients, the amount of time and care devoted to producing a batch...and even the quality of the employees and the working environment play a role in the quality of the end product. Sadly I am forced to stop buying Gliers...as I keep ending up with a sloppy mess I discard out of frustration. It is really frustrating paying $7.49 for a tube of Gliers and then having to throw it out, clean up the mess, and end up going hungry because you don't have enough time left to prepare another meal. Customers like me don't necessarily want their money back...they just want good goetta back. For every negative review that appears here, there are likely hundreds of other customers who didn't take the time to share their feelings online. A shame, really, because Gliers once was the best tasting product on the shelf. I do not care as much for the other brands...but it is futile to keep buying Gliers when I know what the end result will be. This is such a shame because it was Gliers who put goetta and Cincinnati on the...

Glider's goetta is not the same product that I have loved over 50 years. It's a shame that apparently to cut corners in order to save money, you have destroyed the best product on the market. The pinhead oatmeal is like birdseed and there is so much fat it falls apart. We moved from the Cincinnati area and when we come back we stock up for a year. I have cooked three rolls now with the same result. What a waste of money. The package states original recipe but clearly it's not! The rest of the rolls I purchased are going in the garbage. Update I received a message from Glier's . The employee was very polite on the phone. She asked for the expiration date on the rolls that I bought. She explained to me how the product is processed and how the recipe hasn't changed but the ingredients purchased to make it can differ. She is sending me a check for the rolls...

I have eaten only Gliers goetta for 40 yrs. I eat it EVERY morning for breakfast. But lately (twice in last 2 weeks) I got a roll with a big chunk of reddish- black hard thing (looked like 3/4 of a roach body). I cut it out, but it grossed me so bad. Then today I sliced 4 pc and fried it (different roll) and it was literally floating in grease. I had to use 2 large paper towels to soak up all grease. It just seems maybe they are having quality control issues. Please fix problems. I...
