Eatlean Protein Reviews 619

No one expects low fat cheese to have much flavour, but instead of just running with it they've tried to disguise the inherent blandness by cramming it full of salt. Also no good for grilling as it doesn't melt, it just hardens. OK for salads and sandwiches but not much else.

Love the bars and the grated cheese. Great taste and great macros.
There was a problem with one of the slices packages but they replied and refunded very quickly.

Ordered on the 15th may, still not dispatched, very disappointed in this company, ignoring my emails, but very quick to take your money, I will not be buying from this company again 😡

I ordered from this incompetent company over 2 weeks ago. My order was apparently dispatched on the 8th of May. (12 days ago). Customer services finally stopped ignoring me a few days ago, promised it was lost and they'd reship it. Came back again and said no we'll send it next week now. Yesterday I was contacted and provided with a tracking number.

Guess what tracking number it was? Of course the exact same one I was provided with on the 8th and customer service won't reply again.

Don't order from this company unless you want to throw away your money and subsequently be ignored or lied to.

The cheeses are really good, but the delivery management is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. This is the last time I’m buying from the website — it’s better to just get it at the store

Order was shipped on a Thursday and then delayed in transit so did not arrive until the Monday. Contacted customer services to explain that the goods had therefore arrived warm, and they promptly replaced everything that should have arrived cold. Cannot fault their service, was handled very quickly and professionally.

Truly delicious cheese, poor communications, terrible delivery service. So sad, I'm afraid we might lose them if they don't get better management.

Grated cheese doesn't go out of date until 9th April (today is 22nd March), just opened and tipped on to food and all underneath was mouldy. Absolutely disgusting. Worst still is this isn't a one-off, this has happened to is before on a different batch, we just assumed it has maybe been stored wrong in the supermarket but this appears to be a theme with this company. Avoid!

Purchased cheese and it was covered in black mold spots… twice…very disappointing.

I'm shocked at such low reviews on here!
This cheese is amazing with no compromise on taste. The stats are outstanding. I buy it in bulk all the time, It goes with everything and I love it.. WIERD PEOPLE!

Received cheese slices covered in mould. Contacted customer service by e-mail on 25 Jan and 3 Feb but have still not received a response. I’m left with no alternative other than to contact trading standards and my payment card issuer for a refund. Very disappointed.

Mouldy
3 orders, all mouldy. Customer service takes weeks to reply. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

My first order came and half of the order was mouldy, the original blue packet, i ordered the mature cheese for the second half of my order.

I ordered again in December 2024 and realised that i hadnt checked to see if they had been using the new bill gates cow fart additive, I emailed them and was ignored, I emailed them again and asked if they used a dairy product with Bovaer in it and if they did could i cancel my order, l eventually got a notification to say my order had been cancelled.

(this review has been edited, im an honest woman and have re read the email and i was wrong, my eyes saw what they did and my brain misinterpreted the reply entirely. I make a full unreserved apology for this harsh judgment i have to admit when i am wrong. However, i stand by my complaint about the box of cheese that was delivered. Its a disgrace!)

Not long after, my order actually arrived. As i unpacked it to empty the box and make it small enough to fit in the recycle bin I noticed one of the packs looked an off colour (I ordered 9 packs of mature in the yellow packet), i opened the pack out of interest and sure enough the pack was completely green and mouldy, then i checked the date and found that this packet was dated 18/10/24.......! I ordered late in december. I checked the other 8 blocks to see that 6 of the 9 packets were all dated 18/10/24 and only 3 had a date in early 2025.

My issue here is .....did they knowingly send out of date cheese for the order i placed (I mean who does quality control) OR was this order sent out with malicious intent because i find 6 mouldy out of date blocks of cheese can not be a mistake.

Clearly when making this cheese more protein rich they have to allow other things like shelf life to slide. After reading some reviews on here the mouldy cheese issue isnt isolated to just me!

What say you Eat Lean??? Did you send the out of date blocks deliberately because i wanted a refund OR are you so incompetent that you send out 6 out of 9 out of date blocks ????? Company should be closed down in my opinion!!!!

I also have photos of the cheese, the mould from both orders and screenshots of ALL communication!!

Had ordered previously without issue, however this time I was massively short delivered, contacted customer services about sending the missing items or processing a refund, had no response. At this point it is just theft.

I love the EatLean products. I’m on a seriously reduced fat diet and desperately miss real cheese - this is a a close as I can get to the real thing. The cheese blocks make a very passable and healthy alternative to cheese sauce

A slight hiccup with a recent order (one missing item) was responded to within 24 hours. Shipping was very quick on the main order, too.

I understand people here have had less positive experiences with customer service and I suspect that’s what drove them to leave a review. I also get that EatLean are not always coping with demand and customer service seems to slip. But so far I think they are doing their best. I’d recommend them, despite the glitches.

Very very good but the cheese slices get stuck together and can't take them off seperately. If they can do plastic between one slice and the other, it would be much better to use. Thanks

Wow! I placed a rather large order yesterday and the items have already arrived today (next day). There’s no issues with the use-by dates, everything has a least 1-2 months on it. I have already tried their blue grated cheese as you can purchase this in supermarkets and it’s great. So I opted for the ‘Tasty’ yellow cheese, smoked cheese and red cheese to try these out. The ‘Tasty’ yellow cheese snack bars are great with a stronger mature flavour which makes for a much lovelier snack. The smoked and red cheese also tastes amazing. I’ll be using the smoked&red cheese blocks to cook some dishes over the coming week to really test them out but from tasting them all- I’m very impressed!

I like my cheese strong
and I already knew that low fat cheese is low in flavour, so I wasn't expecting much from a cheese that has only 10% the fat of Cheddar, but I was pleasantly surprised. Obviously it's not going to compare with a tangy extra mature farmhouse but it's similar in taste to a mild/medium cheddar and has a slightly firmer texture, like a gruyere. That's the blue one... the yellow one is meant to taste more mature and has more fat but there's really not a huge difference in flavour so I'm sticking with the lowest fat. The smoked is delicious if you're into that.
I've seen some people talking about mould... I thought so too until I noticed it was exactly the same colour as the packaging. I assume the dye is not toxic or they wouldn't be allowed to use it in food packaging so I'm not worried, but maybe they could have a look at finding a way to make the dye in the packaging less prone to rubbing off on the food as it might put some people off. I'm not marking it down for that because I only care about the food, which in my opinion is great.

Terrible customer service placed order 1st December finally, tried to resolve direct with them but after 7 emails had to go through PayPal .

5 weeks later finally refunded .

Been a customer for years and now I won’t be buying from site again .

The worst company and service ever
Complete fraud, paid for an order and have been chasing it and a cancellation and refund for 2 weeks now. Zerooooo level treatment ahd customer service.called them multiple times and send several emails and enquiries Never buy from this company ever you will only pay money for getting stressed and never getting your items.
