AI Review Summary
Based on recent customer reviews, Crystal Valley South Africa is facing significant concerns regarding product quality across its dairy range. Customers consistently mention milk spoiling well before the sell by date, with reports of sour, slimy, or soapy tasting product. A recurring theme is cheese arriving crumbly and impossible to slice, with shoppers describing both cheddar and gouda as unusable. Whip cream performance and feta authenticity are also criticised. Several shoppers express loyalty turning to disappointment and indicate they will avoid the brand going forward.

Crystal Valley whipped cream
Every single time I buy the crystal valley whip cream it always underperforms, only allowing for 1 or 2 times for the cream to spray out and then after I’m left with a full can of liquid cream no matter how much I shake it 🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮

Shocking product Feta Cheese from Crystal valley!
Having bought their feta cheese for the first time, I was totally shocked. With all due respect to Feta, this product would have loved to be called Feta. One could not even call it white cheese. I strongly advise the public not to waste their hard earned money on this brand of Cheese. Shocking!

Products Not Safe for Consumption
Subject: Urgent Concern: Spoiled Dairy Products from Crystal Valley at Shoprite Riverside Dear Crystal Valley Team, I am writing to raise a serious concern regarding the quality of your dairy products sold at Shoprite Riverside in Johannesburg. On a recent occasion, I purchased your milk, only to find it was already off upon opening. Unfortunately, I had to discard the entire product. Now, just four days after purchasing your cheese, I discovered it was partly rotten upon first opening the package. This is extremely concerning, especially considering the short time since purchase. This raises serious questions about your supply chain—whether outdated stock is being distributed to retailers or if there's improper storage occurring either at the distributor or retail level. Regardless, this situation is unacceptable. Consumers rely on your brand for safe, fresh products, and incidents like these put public health at risk. I urge you to investigate and rectify this issue immediately. If this continues, I will have no choice but to report the matter to the relevant health authorities for further inspection of your retail and distribution partners. Your prompt attention to this matter is expected and appreciated. Sincerely,

Crystal Valley's soapy tasting milk
Used a newly bought box of Crystal Valley milk in coffee. The taste was off, so checked the expiry date which was absolutely fine. The taste was soapy. I then milk into an mug and was astounded by the large foam Dome forming at the top. Could Crystal Valley have had an industrial accident with liquid soap eg and decided to ignore it and⁹ continue to sell to the public? A response from them would be required. I notice another reviewers had the same problem and could not even locate a contact number on the milk carton. Will avoid all their products from now on.
