I’m a 74 year old Very Proud Hispanic Veteran who was raised on Goya products The reason for my comments is because I’m offended by your CEOs comments concerning this last election ..As a Veteran I swore to protect and defend Our Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and that included trump and all his minions.Your CEO seems to forget the January 6th occurences and the disrespect and bigotry trump showed to Puerto Rico as well as the incarceration of Young hispanic children in his detención centers.. With all this said I have not purchased since last year nor will I ever purchase Goya products again!!Thankfully there are other fine products such as Badia, Bijol etc.
Lorraine Moran says
I applaud Robert Unanue for stating he supports Trump. There are more of us that feel as he does than the loud mouths who haven’t the ability to think other than what liberal media dictates. We never purchased your product, but will do so now. I haven’t been able to find his e mail so I hope this comment will be passed along. Hope other companies will stand up and not be intimidated by the radicals.

You are a minority, check the news. Trump lost bigly and has now effectively severed the retrumplicans from the true Republicans. Sad.

Hi,
I have attempted to be engaged by someone at Goya, a few times now. When I called the Goya line on 11/11/19, I was told that someone would return my call within 24 hours. To date, I have not been contacted about my issue. I am rather upset about finding dead maggots in my can of Green Pigeon Peas (that are not due to expire until next year) and am concerned about the integrity of the Goya products now. I would appreciate it if someone could please contact me at the email I have provided on the comment/complaint form.
Thank you,
Amanda Dodd

I tried call and talking to someone but could not understand them. I have some seasoning that I don’t want to use because its cakey like not powder . Also found some other seasoning but there was no english to read directions for use. I do love your product and use it all the time. The one I found in a store says it has sazon in it. but the one i use for beans is i think ruined. Can you please help? Thank you ! Charles

I have a complaint, There’s a group of us who cocktail together that love our anchovy stuffed olives in our dirty martini’s, My complaint is that were I live in southwest florida they are never stocked in the stores and when they are serviced apparently it is not stocked enough foe demand and its a lottery every time I try to buy a can. I have talked to store managers in publix for one and pre ordered but for some reason I can’t get any follow through from these managers and they say its the distributer another words, to me just passing the buck, so my question is can I order directly from goya so I can get the GOYA product I so enjoy Sincerely G.S. Mitton If you could e-mail me to let me know of a good solution I would greatly appreciate it

Hello,
I have been a corporate massage therapist since 1995. My corporate sites are Merck Inc., Panasonic and Unilever. I also provide on-site massage for smaller companies as well. Massage therapy has been a integral service provided by many Fortune 500 companies. Stress, whether work related or life created, affects all workers in so many ways.The absence from work because of a much needed “mental health day” is a major reason for a slow down in production. Massage therapy is the answer. Studies have shown that with as little as a 15 minute on-site massage creates a more positive outlook, increased cognitive skills and productivity.
Please allow me to come to your corporate office to introduce the possibility of massage therapy to the GOYA family of employees. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Virginia J. Petrucci, NCTMB
