Totally agree, i used to love the sweet chilli ones but they are now inedible. Hard, some are green, i have to spit them out and will no longer buy them. I emailed Smiths foods who basically did not care that their chips were inedible Show details
Have always bought red rock deli chips But won't buy anymore as the flavour of the Plains ones has completely changed They don't have that real potato flavour anymore I think the oil has changed that they cook with Show details

Minus 5 stars. More rubbish junk food that must be be banned. All the unhealthy food additives is beyond a joke. See attached picture. Show details
This is for the sea salt chips, just a bag full of twisted over chips, threw the whole bag away, never buy them again don’t want folded over chips Show details
Contaminated food – Had a huge black rock like piece in my packet. No idea what it is. Definitely not safe to eat.
Disappointing chips - Red Rock Deli – Just read all negative reviews after being disappointed with chips I bought today. They used to be so good: now all negative reviews sum up the worst aspects of these chips, from size and shape, lack of crispiness, and the foul taste of unhealthy canola oil. Show details

Red Rock Deli Crispy Pork Belly Chef Series Potato Chips - WOW – I purchased a packet of the Red Rock Deli Crispy Pork Belly with Apple Sauce today and to be honest was dubious on whether a packet of chips would live up to the flavour. Wow, these chips are sensational. The flavour of the crackling hits your mouth followed by a subtle hint of apple at the end. Real Ying and Yang. This a delicious product that I will purchase again.

Yum yum!! Perfect in every way!! – I love a good chip or two but these I could eat a bag on my own. Maple bacon and cheddar chips!!. I tell you what they are brilliant the flavours and crunch are spot on. Just enough flavour but not over powering. Very good red rock you definitely have a return customer in myself love them.
New flavour Parmesan,Basil & Garlic Oil – Undoubtedly the best crisp manufactured in Australia. Your latest flavour Parmisan,Basil & Garlic Oil is another winner. Purchased from Coles today and was not disappointed. I have purchased crisps in the USA, UK & Africa and your product is definately superior to any product I have personally sampled. Show details

I got a small bag of Red Rock Deli chips, and they literally have three chips in it and then just crumbs. I am appalled. If i buy a bag of chips, I expect more than three chips. Show details
Honey Soy Chicken What happened? Use to be a delicious staple to the Aussie household but after not eating chips for a long time, bought a pack tonight to realise upon opening a "off" sort of smell and upon eating a oily and tasteless product. After googling, I came across how others have noted such things plus the inclusion of extra additives. Rest will go in the bin and your competitors now have my business. Show details

Well this packet of Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream is going to be my last. If I could give it no stars I would have. They are definitely not the same quality chips I use to love. Horrible clumps of disgusting garbage. They don't taste the same. They don't look the same. Not only have you gone stingy with quantity but you have totally… Read more
ruined the taste. Wake up people! All the negative reviews can't be wrong. Kettle chips use to be my backup choice but now i can honestly say they are my preferred choice.

Yuck! – Red Rock deli honey soy chicken chips were the only chips I would eat. The last few packets I've bought have been awful. The chips are so over fried and full of oil they made me feel sick. Unfortunately I will not be purchasing these ever again. Why change the recipe.? !!! Show details
So inconsistent – I find these to be really hit and miss. They hit more often and keep me buying but the flavour changes drasticly from one packet to another. Sometimes the oil flavour is overwhelming and Tate's old. The seasoning also varies greatly. Sweet chilli and sour cream for eg. One packet can Tate strongly of sweet chilli and delicious but the next packet Tate's of oil and the sweet chilli is limited with the sour cream being stronger.
Sub Standard Chips – The last packet I purchased was very sub standard. The production of this project has changed for the worse. Taste was terrible and the crispness and colour of the product was not the same as previous packets purchased. Show details
Added Dairy - Unnecessarily – Well their flavours seem enticing , but learning they add milk crap products to salt and vinegar & their Lime & black pepper chips is a deterent.. This is an unnecessary additive. There Should be a potato chip option without added Animal based junk. Shame because I would buy them otherwise. Kettle or Tyrrells chips seem to make decent chips without this unnecessary added junk
Another riding on past reputation they will bite the dust – Red Rock Deli Sea Salt Chips Like everyone says from best to very close to bad Cutting them super thin to fill the bag with the same weight. Too much oil to product ratio An unhealthy (Citric Acid) not from lemons. They age fast after opening and degrade before the use by date Price is a far cry from their quality now Show details
not the same anymore – i’m sorry but these are my favourite chips ever but tell me why they are so different now?? has the recipe changed or something because they are so hard and crispy in a bad way, and they are orange and almost burnt. they used to be so light and yum and i’m so sad because i loveeee these chips. Show details
Recipe changed, chips taste awful – I haven’t had these in a while. Opened the bag and they tasted awful. Nowhere near the previous quality. Why is there a bunch of added “antioxidants”? You’ve completely ruined what was a great product. I’m amazed that someone thought that this was a good idea. I won’t buy them again. Show details
Why change a once excellent chip – Sea salt crisps were always a favourite, but no more. Taste and crunch is of poor quality. Oil is very unpleasant to taste like old oil. Stuck together with gnarly shapes. So disappointing. Will find another crisp brand. No more Red Rock for us. Show details

Very disappointing – My favorite chips usually this packet was terrible. Hard as a rock like pork crackle no flavor big clumps over cooked ,stale cannot put into words how bad they were maybe the photos explain how bad they were .
From best to worst. Dissapointed – What once was a favourite, is now something I refuse to purchase again and will advise others also. Have recently purchased 3 separat bags on separate ocassions, thinking they were just bad batches... looks like I'm not the only one. They look over fried, dark and almost clear. Lots clumped together. Very rough, not airy and crispy like before.… Read more
Tasted like they'd been fried and then refried in old oil - a bitter after-taste. Honestly so sad and dissappointing. I have now realised they've also sneakily changed to canola oil. Ingredients list reads: "sunflower and/or canola oil" .... sneaky, sneaky.... Shame.
Rancid Surprise – Normally the Sweet Chilli and Sour Cream chips are my favourites, but two of the chips in my packet today tasted like rancid milk and actually left a burning sensation in my mouth and throat (it wasn't from the chilli). Hope I don't get food poisoning from this. Show details
Why change something that was SOOO good? – Red Rock Deli sea salt chips were my favourite. Until they changed their recipe and started adding, antioxidants, ascorbic acid, rosemary extract and citric acid. You have permanently lost me as a customer. Show details
Red rock deli crispy fried chicken with hot sauce – Apart from the salt and vinegar chips which are the best ones, these are like the other ones..tasteless and not at all like advertised. They just taste like plain chips with spice Show details
Extortion of customers must be the new business plan – I was up until recently a regular buyer of Red Rock chips. Since the rediculous price rise I have decided to purchase products that are still priced reasonably. Absolutely disgusted by this blatant rip off. Show details
Quality dropped but price went up – We used to buy red rock deli chips as they had the least amount of additives (sea salt ones had zero additives) compared to other supermarket brands. This has now changed, they’ve added additives to all flavours + chips are now fried, not baked +price went up to $6.50! Very dissatisfying. Show details
They seem to be fried now not baked as originally stated – Has anyone noticed that red rock chips have completely changed? They use to state on each packet that they were oven baked and not fried. This has now been removed. They seem to be frying these now and they are thinner. We won’t be buying these anymore as they were once special and different from everyone else. Show details
