"A good bagel should have the perfect balance of flavor and chewy texture - store-bought or otherwise. Unfortunately, according to customers on Reddit, Aldi's L'Hoven Fresh Bagel Skinny's miss the mark where it matters: in the flavor department. "I'm never buying their "skinny" bagels again," one user wrote in response to an r/aldi Reddit post about items to avoid at the popular discount retailer. "They taste like cardboard in the worst way.""
"While the bagels' cardboard taste is quite the deal-breaker, others signaled quality issues like molding quicker than expected, while another person said these came at a higher cost compared to regular bagels. At $2.99 per pack (though price may vary depending on location) for eight 110-calorie bagel thins, off-notes considered, the product just doesn't cut it for many people - and some Redditors say the bagels aren't even sliced evenly."
Customers on Reddit report Aldi's L'Hoven Fresh Bagel Skinny bagels have a cardboard-like flavor and inferior taste compared with name-brand skinny bagels. Several shoppers describe the bagels as tasting like cardboard or paper packaging and say they are not worth repurchase. Additional complaints include faster-than-expected molding, uneven slicing, and higher cost relative to regular bagels. The product is sold at about $2.99 per pack for eight 110-calorie bagel thins, though price varies by location. Potential causes for the off-flavor include oxidized oils, stale bread, or ingredients such as cellulose fiber used in reduced-calorie foods.
