10 Meals/Bag and Bag quality

Community General Discussion
1

I have been using JJ for 6 months now and recently i decided to see if I get 10 meals/bag. See photos. I do get that consistently with 1/2 scoop extra. I follow a simple process.

Scoop from the botttom of bag
Shake extra out of scoop in bag
Using my right hand holding the scoop I place it against the side of the bag
Using my left index finger as a level on the outside of the bag i draw the scoop up againts my left index finger.
Works every time.

Bag qualify.
Every bags seal fails at about the 5th opening. See photo. I like the bag is recyclable but that is a constant failure.

Thanks for posting your way of doing things here, much appreciated!
The seal issue you note will be forwarded to the R&D department for review, thanks for that as well!

I’ve had the seal issue too and I really hated it. But since Plenny Shake is what I eat mostly now, I ended up buying some reusable food containers. A full bag fits into a 2L one.

Also, I think it’s less likely to break if you open the bags like this, but that’s just my perception:

(imagine my other hand is pulling from where the arrow is pointing, as I didn’t have enough hands to take the picture)

Open towards the middle of the bag and break the seal with your finger. Then pull open.

Nice one, thanks for the hack! We are following up on these with the supplier and looking into options for improvements.

I was thinking on posting about the bags quality too since it also happens to me but, it comes that it is being a known issue for 6 months…

I hope that this problem gets solved soon, please.

Sorry for the late reply here :face_with_diagonal_mouth:
I hope you have reached out to the customer care team in the meantime with this? If not, please do so with the batch number available that is printed on the back of the bag.

For anyone having a problem with the newer bag seals. I recently found this product which i found so useful i felt like i HAVE to share it:

The product is called a ‘seal stick’

You just effortlessly slide it over the bag after folding it, and seals it perfectly, i find it to be easier than sealing the bags with the build-in seal.

@MudkipAstronaut Thanks for sharing this, it’s super helpful!

We’ve already flagged this with our team, and the good news is that the next batch of pouches will come with a stronger zipper. We are switching to Type 4 recyclable pouches, which unfortunately meant the zippers were a bit weaker in the first batch. But no worries! We’re on it, and the next batch will be much improved! :muscle::recycle:
