I ordered a couple of 12 packs and both packs have the same date code and the contents, taste, and texture are nothing like the original Cheez Balls!!!
A friend also ordered the same 12 pack here at Amazon and he received GOOD ones with the following prints:
P: 12/DEC/2018 11:07
E: 12/DEC/2019 GPP2
The content, texture, and taste were so much fresher! This particular batch tasted just like the original Cheez Balls.
Amazon having great customer service will replace both of my orders. I'm hoping to receive the fresh ones.
I'll update this review when the replacements arrive.
Update - the following batch of Planters Cheez Balls are also GOOD. Got these from another online store:
P: 14/NOV/2018 11:27
E: 14/NOV/2019 GPP1
UPDATE:
Amazon customer service came through once again!!! They replaced both of my orders and I received the original tasting/texture Planters Cheez Balls I came to love as a kid!!! Very puffy and cheesy, and it just melts in your mouth!
Date code of GOOD replacements:
P: 11/MAR/2019 12:36
E: 11/MAR/2020 GPP2
I understand I don't have enough sampling to make this conclusion, but so far, it appears that GPP1 and GPP2 are GOOD and XPZ4 are BAD & UGLY.
UPDATE 7/10/2019
I craved for another batch of Planters Cheez Balls. Unfortunately, I received a bad batch once again w/ date code "XPZ4". Contacted Amazon customer service and they'll send me a replacement. Crossing my fingers that I receive the good batch "GPP2" (or if there exists other good batch date code).
UPDATE 7/12/2019
My replacement order just came in. Unfortunately, they're also "XPZ4". Contacting Amazon for another replacement or a refund. :(

In any event, I've had these as a kid. No, they're not the same. They're BETTER! The ones I had as a kid, if I remember correctly, had a more natural cheese taste and came in a bigger tin. I remember eating them at the daycare when I was only single digits years old. Saying that these don't have a natural cheese flavor is by no means a negative. They have this insane chee"Z"ier flavor that makes it hard to stop eating them. I don't know what cost saving measure Planters is using to try to recreate what just using real cheese does, but do not stop with said cost saving measure.
These are great! I love them! Sure they're not how they used to be. But neither are Chevy Suburbans and I don't see negative reviews on Amazon about those :). If you buy these, be warned. You'll never stop buying them; right Planters??
Edit: After receiving (and eating) a second order of these, the product appears to have changed. They are no longer "balls" but instead lumpy, mis-shapen "cheese asteroids", and the cheese flavor is decreased. They are still good, but no longer the same recipe as others have stated.
The orbs of cheese, so golden, firm, and grand.
A crunch resounds as teeth through surface tear,
A symphony of flavors fills the air.
The cheese, profound, in every bite it gleams,
With every turn, like sun's own golden beams.
Though round and full, their health's a mystery,
Yet marginally good, midst snack's rich history.
For in their sphere, both joy and taste reside,
A dance of cheese and crunch, in harmonied stride.
Not fruits or greens, nor nature's wholesome fare,
Yet for a treat, few can with them compare.
So celebrate these balls, so cheesy, round,
In Planters’ gift, a simple joy is found.
I use to eat these all the time. They are wonderful but when they are out of date you shouldn’t be able to sell them. They are to expensive. Bought a case and can’t even eat them. Shame on this company. And shame on Amazon not doing anything about it.
I want a refund or credit to my Amazon account.
