Past Use By Date
I purchased this item on February 7, 2026 and we didn't use on Sunday. I turned it over on February 10, 2026 and the use by date was January 30, 2026. It was already 8 days past its use by date. I used the drive up service to get my order so didn't look at. I don't recommend buying perishable items from Target unless you go in the store and look at it. The order pickers don't look at use by dates. Target also needs to improve their stocking of perishable food items.

Best Food Tray
I've been eating this food tray for almost 25 years. It started when my dad bought it for me and my siblings during football season. Now I have a family of my own and still buy this for gameday.

Go for something else
I wasn’t very impressed with the quality of this, the meat seemed sort of hard and the crackers a bit stale. I’d go for something else

I would not purchase this product again.
The expiration date is fine, but the smoked turkey pieces are all covered in a thick layer of goopy slimey stuff. gross.

EXPIRED
Ordered 3/31/23. Expiration date 2/25/23. Ham was a pink on the top, but slimy, pale brown on the bottom. Honestly, it’s not Hormel’s fault. This item is fantastic when fresh. Come on, Target. Be better.

Expired
I sat in the parking lot for almost an hour. When the package was finally brought to the car, I left to attend an event. I looked at the package and the platter was expired. Due to the condition of the platter, and the fact that it was expired, I would give the item zero stars for each of the additional ratings.

Cheese try missing crackers
Bought your Gathering cheese and cracker try for a party and what only one sleeve of crackers...this is BS made us look like fools at the party

We are currently facing a cracker shortage. This is only temporary, and we did increase the amount of meat and cheese in the trays to make up for it. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We used to love this tray. Went from 5 stars to .
Cutting back on the crackers Hormel? This used to be a quality tray for the cost. Now you're quietly leaving out one of the sleeves of crackers. Super bummed. Just going to cut my own pepperoni and cheese and buy Toasteds.

Hi Barb! We are currently facing a cracker shortage. This is only temporary, and we did bump up the weight of the meat and cheese to help make up for this. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Not enough crackers.
I have bought this product for our daughter multiple times and we have been satisfied with the product. Recently I have noticed the tray now only comes with one roll of crackers. Very disappointing. It's not near enough crackers.

Good but missing crackers!
Have had this before and loved it. Just bought it for a get-together and there was only one sleeve of crackers in it. Is that right or did it get missed?

Don't buy
This has no flavor at all. The cheese and crackers are fine. The meat is terrible.
