Have you experienced opening a canned good, and found that there was nothing inside? What did you do then?
I just experienced one. What I did, I searched the internet for the customer help desk of the company who made the product. Luckily, I found it and sent a letter through email. I wrote:
Good day!
My name is Nelson and I’m a loyal customer of San Miguel/purefoods products even here in the UAE. I recently purchased a can of Purefoods Vienna Sausage (140g), but to my dismay, when I opened the can, there were no sausages inside – only water!
Of course I cannot return it to the grocery shop coz it’s not their fault, especially since I bought an unopened can. I took a picture of the can, but of course I know it’s difficult to claim that it’s empty when somebody can just take out the sausages and take picture of an empty can.
I am writing not because I wanted to claim anything. I just wanted to remind you guys that you need to check on your quality control because this incident can also be happening to your other customers, and they are just not reporting. Please look into your packaging processes and check if something is being mislooked.
Thank you and I hope that I get my money’s worth next time I buy products from your company. More power.

Hi Andre – I just realized that it is really something serious when u said that it could happen to the less fortunate families who cannot afford to buy extra cans. Gosh, it is indeed serious…

Baka kinuha nung worker ginutom! haha, joke.. They say canning is an automated process, maybe there were some problems that time. Buti nga they responded to you, so far wala pa naman ako naexperience na ganyan.
