Oh man, it's so heartbreaking when this happens! Feel Terry's pain so personally! Last year and earlier this year, we had a recall on all brown sugar, golden syrup and molasses. As a cafe that does pastry goods, we were basically screwed! For around 5 months we couldn't make any recipes containing those items :(
@@HerculesCandy It was quite crazy! From November last year up until around April or so! Sadly it was contaminated with lead, so that was a bit of risk! Made Christmas quite the struggle with fruit puddings, cakes and gingerbread cookies! (From New Zealand!) Really hope Hercules doesn't have to go through this loss ever again! Don't even want to imagine how heartbreaking it must be to see all the loss of stock :( Not just the price of ingredients, but all the hard work and hours put into producing :(
It's not only the loss of the product is the loss of the working hours too. Since staff was paid and heat/lights kept on etc. The costs are insane.. I would definitely be seeking damages from the company or at least a huge supply free of cost as an apology
I had ordered the peanut butter potato chip bark and when I received my phone call about the recall… I had to try SUPER hard not to fan girl that my favorite candy channel was calling me😂😂😂 I ended up just getting super awkward and was like “uhhh”
As a small business owner, hearing about the loss of product, all of the refunds and labor hours really cuts like a knife... Oof. Really hope you guys can recover the loss quickly, especially during these penny pinching times we're in!
On a recall the company/manufacturer would issue a cash refund or give coupons for future free product. The only loss that would affect them would be the labor and the packaging that they used for the candy.
Such a shame to lose this much stock! Terry, your email open rates were probably even higher, reported rates only include where the client allowed tracking. Those that block it won't register. That's how it worked when I did email marketing a few years back anyway. Cheers
Life has been crazy and I admittedly haven’t watched your videos in a while but I have to say, your moms personality ALWAYS makes me smile! The whole family is awesome but your mom cracks me up! 😊
They made mention of the fact that it was easier for them to make claim with insurance due to the fact that they had product with the exact batch # that was recalled. They have to have insurance in order to be in business and this is exactly what it's for. I used to work in insurance so that's how I know, Each insurance company is different so it also depends on what their policy says, Hope this helps. :-)
@@californiaclaire8558 I never considered that - I guess Hercules would have to keep track of batch numbers of their ingredients in case of recalls. That's a lot more paperwork than I would have imagined.
I love the comradery of your crew! They seem to work very well with each other, all of them bringing their own brand of humor to the party. I would love to work with a group like that. Always find a way to enjoy your day at work. It makes the day so much better!
Was Terry's reaction to first hearing about the recall the same as her immediate reaction right after running into the wall? 😅 all jokes aside, I hope you recover fast from those lost products. I never want to see a small business get hit bad with a loss they couldn't control or didn't cause.
I like this lady. The way she handles negativity in a non toxic healthy way without over compensating into over negativity or over positivity or delusions to cope with it. She makes me want to be more loyal and committed to this brand. If I had the money to be I would be the shipping costs just out price me for now lol.
My friends always used "Sunny Jim" peanut butter. It's so amazing to see how much your store expanded into. I wonder how the heck did they operate from the lower floors of that house ! lol I so wish it was cheaper to ship to the west coast , i would love some hard candy.
I do remember watching both episodes of Terry and the car going through walls. And in both cases I'm glad no one was hurt. But seeing all of that chocolate that has to be destroyed hurts my heart.😭💔😭💔😭💔😭 Jif is my favorite peanut butter but, like Hercules Candy, I too will use Skippy. At least until Jif is once again safe!! Best of luck to the Hercules Candy family. It's tough having to recall and then remake all of that Candy, but hopefully things will go smoothly for you.
@@rainbowcactus6774 just go to the search option and type in Hercules Candy car crash. The top 2 videos should be the ones about it, and right underneath them should be the one about Terry going through the wall.
Crap. What a pain in the butt. Terry did a great job controlling her internal rage talking about the peanut butter recall. Nice she can put it all in perspective, lol. It's hard to see all the "made with love" candy being thrown away. Actually, no, that would be awesome to watch. Get creative with the destruction!!
I am so sorry...I have watched you guys since Craig stared this channel in the basement....you all are always so wise and careful in your safety......you all have been through so much..
So sorry you lost all that product because of the recall. That's terrible. I know it was heartbreaking! There WAS a Skippy recall, but it was on reduced fat versions, and it was 2 months ago.
It is so sad that you were affected by the peanut butter recall. Jif should have to repay you and the other small businesses that lost stock due to their carelessness.
So sorry to hear about your JIF recall. I actually got salmonella poisoning from my JIF Natural peanut butter, and had no idea that was the cause of my illness until I got a robocall from my supermarket saying that I had recently bought JIF peanut butter and to check the lot number. (I thought I was experiencing long Covid.) Believe me, it was not a pleasant situation. And I did recover after about a week, so your attention to detail is much appreciated, as I would not wish that on my worst enemy. BTW, you may have saved someone from a serious illness, so pat yourselves on the back, for a potential disaster averted.
Molasses + white sugar = brown sugar. 1:8-12 ratio. Brown sugar gives an extra depth of flavor. I use it in sweet items, might have to dabble with savory foods.
@@camilleriggan9555 I have added Hershey's dark coco powder to my recipe for 8 Alarm chili( online recipe), you could even add cinnamon too. Also when making mac and cheese ( Emmeril Lagasse's recipe online) or lasagna I add nutmeg ( not alot, just enough the give it flavor....I also will add a bottle of Mexican beer to, to the chili.
@@randyfritz2094 Thanks Randy! I will try the cinnamon and cocoa too! Even the nutmeg in the Mac and cheese. I ordered three to four kinds of cinnamon from a spice company around Christmas time last year. Oh they smell so good and taste even better!!!!!! So much better than the store bought!!! It is amazing. I bought some little jars and 10 pounds of cinnamon and filled the jars for Christmas gifts to my family members!!!! Thank you !!!!
You dont know what molasses is!! I'm a Canadian Maritimer and we love our molasses. My kids grew up with their grandfather pouring a little bit of fancy molasses in their hands as a treat. Its very sweet (not black strap or cooking molasses). Some people used to use molasses on bread, cookies, oatmeal molasses bread(brown bread), etc. Its a staple in the cupboard
I lucked out, living in Tennessee, my three jars I ordered from Amazon weren't the batch numbers that were recalled. Amazon notified me to check my jars.
JIF should be compensating you for all your lost product not insurance, because wouldn’t that make your rates go higher? That’s what I’ve always heard. You have a claim regardless of who’s fault your rates increase.
I was mourning looking at my peanut butter cup ribbons I have left from my prior order when I read the email. Glad to hear you are in the works making them again among other things and look forward to ordering quite a bit more. The bit I did get to try was delicious! Hopefully the peanut butter manufacture has some way to reimburse you guys for at least even a part because that blows.
Will *WE* get to see the Destruction of all the product ???? It's so Sad, that so much product, time & energy has gone to waste, but.... I'm sure I'm not the only 1 who's interested in seeing it go
That Jiffy recall was for certain lot numbers ( but since you uesd Jiffy before the recall, you wouldn't know the lot numbers). That business loss is usually a write off towards the next tax quarterly report.....
Was not sure if you used Jif or not, but knowing you used PB I am glad I shared the recall article with you. I suggest you keep compile a listing of the cost of all of the items, make sure you include the cost of postage (opening packed boxes), labor costs, printing new labels then I would send that bill to Smuckers (makers of Jiff). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jif_(peanut_butter)
9:45 the question why, can be answered by the FDA regulations, for large corporations, that allow up to 35 to 40% of " FOREIGN MATRIAL ", depending on product. just sayin
I may have missed it in the video, but can’t you get your money back/claim it from the Jif company? Whenever something is bad with the end product for which we a part of, it goes up the chain, back to the “culprit”. And then they can potentially claim it from their insurance.
I remember having consumed 2 jars of Peter Pan peanut butter, then discovered it was recalled due to salmonella. Then I switched to Jif, and it was recalled... Some years back.... Then Peter pan again. now Jif again, but I"m not eating peanut butter these days, sodium and all that. I did have to toss some strawberries out this week.. recall. a couple of months ago, it was bagged salad. I'd eaten a couple of bags of that, then discovered it was the recalled batch... It's maddening.
Peanut butter cups made with love by the kid with all the satanic symbols tattooed on his arms. We have the "Seal of Satan" tattoo on his left arm, and the Leviathan Cross also known as "Satan's Cross" on his right arm. I'm sure he's a sweetheart of an employee..
I didn't realize how lucky I was with the recall. I bought my peanut butter from Costco and they store all your receipts in the app. I got both a voicemail and an email about the recall saying I may have that affected lot. I got a recall no problem. Didn't have to prove anything.
Sorry you lost so much inventory due to Jiff recall. Hope you are able to recover the loss from insurance or another pathway! Good luck and safe candy making ❣️
Joe I don't think Jiff would unless its a huge monetary loss...youd have to prove that you used those lot numbers, document the loss and hire a lawyer, give a deposition and file paperwork etc....It isn't easy or inexpensive to take on a large corporation.
Dang it, that's horrible! Jif is my all-time favorite and I was raised on the whole "Choosy Mothers choose Jif" motto. It is one of the only peanut butters that my dog could tolerate, as well. I haven't ordered any of the peanut butter products, but good to know you'll be going back to Jif at a later date. Hoping you all can get reimbursed for your losses rather quickly!
I hope your insurance covers at least some of the loss. However, don't forget to keep careful records for taxes as this would definitely qualify as a loss. So sorry for ya'all. Hope things go more better. Cheers from Texas.
BUMMER !! That must have added so much work also. I wonder how widespread it is. I hadn’t heard about it until Hercules. It is my only peanut butter ever !! Blessings from California. What state are you in ? 🥜 🐿 🥜 🐘
Good idea to mix it up in the future? Half Jif products and half Skippy? Same for anything subject to recalls? Yes, that would mean additional labels, but it might save more in time/labor/dollars. Just a thought.
I'd say that the amount of time making sure the right ones had the right labels and all that would end up being more than $6k in a year. And it's a lot of effort to put into something that might never happen again.
Here's a joke for Terry and the molasses secret. A family of moles lived on a hill looking over a farmhouse and every Sunday, the farmers wife would get up early and start cooking a huge breakfast. She made country ham, bacon, sausages, pancakes and biscuits with molasses, eggs, fried potatoes and fresh squeezed orange juice. One Sunday, Poppa Mole stuck his head out of their hole and sniffed the air. He yelled down to his wife, Momma Mole, "Rosie", "Come on up and smell what the farmer's wife is cooking today. I can smell bacon and ham and fried potatoes. " Momma Mole pushed her head out of their hole and took a deep sniff and then yelled down to their son, Bobby. "Come up here and smell what the farmer's wife is cooking...I can smell biscuits and pancakes and the sweet smell of fresh orange juice." Bobby Mole tried and tried to push his way up to smell it all for himself but no matter how hard he pushed, he just couldn't get past Poppa Mole and Mamma Mole. Finally he just gave up and sat on the floor near the opening and pouted. Mamma and Poppa Mole called to him, asking if he could smell any of the wonderful smells in the air this morning to which, Bobby Mole grumbled, "I tried and I tried but all I can smell from here is Molasses. Now, that's a Molasses joke for ya, lol.
It’s usually fun having a Jif plant here in Lexington cause of the delightful smell of roasting peanuts wafting down the street. But it’s been a bummer to need such a widespread recall. Sorry it affected your candy!

Dont you get back the money from your suplier where you buy the sugar ?
(Than i mean just.the money you payed for the suga)

It's not only the loss of the product is the loss of the working hours too. Since staff was paid and heat/lights kept on etc. The costs are insane.. I would definitely be seeking damages from the company or at least a huge supply free of cost as an apology
Not as bad as a car crashing through the front door or Terry running into the wall. 😂. Awww the good old days. Luv ya guys. 💕💕💕💕💕

And to think how the banks get all that money while the same guys have to work so hard- it’s so wrong
I'm sure their insurance will cover everything. Although I know their hard work going to waste was hard to swallow.

Sorry to hear about this trouble. Hopefully you get a full reimbursemt. Just the other loss wages, utilities, sales.
Man that’s too bad sorry to here that was a big loss. But you guys are amazing hopefully you make it all back and then some!
In New Zealand, Jif is a cleaning product and Skippy is a cornflakes brand.
But it good to know your company is one of the responsible ones!!
Terry going through the wall good times!
It's not just the stock that has to be thrown out but the time and wages to make it that needs to be reimbursed.
Can you get a refund from the company?

Can you ever smell them making the nut butters?
Skippy is the best PB. Jif is so disgusting.
The Jiff recall broke my daughters heart. Luckily we didn’t have any of the recalled jars
Just a couple of lucky ladies! haha
The method for making peanut butter (and fluff) cups has changed through the years. Always trying to be more efficient
The best pb is Adam’s. But I was a Skippy kid too Greg

That Jiffy recall was for certain lot numbers ( but since you uesd Jiffy before the recall, you wouldn't know the lot numbers). That business loss is usually a write off towards the next tax quarterly report.....
Wouldnt "Jiff" peanut butter" have insurance to compensate your losses?
Was not sure if you used Jif or not, but knowing you used PB I am glad I shared the recall article with you. I suggest you keep compile a listing of the cost of all of the items, make sure you include the cost of postage (opening packed boxes), labor costs, printing new labels then I would send that bill to Smuckers (makers of Jiff). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jif_(peanut_butter)

wow sorry to hear about the loss! hopefully, youtube will help to offset that cost so here is a comment and a thumbs-up click from us.
Not really a mistake though, and its great that you took responsibility and recalled all items, i hope you got some kind of compensation for it
Love your videos
I may have missed it in the video, but can’t you get your money back/claim it from the Jif company?
Whenever something is bad with the end product for which we a part of, it goes up the chain, back to the “culprit”. And then they can potentially claim it from their insurance.

Joe
I don't think Jiff would unless its a huge monetary loss...youd have to prove that you used those lot numbers, document the loss and hire a lawyer, give a deposition and file paperwork etc....It isn't easy or inexpensive to take on a large corporation.

Where I work was affected as well
Good idea to mix it up in the future? Half Jif products and half Skippy? Same for anything subject to recalls? Yes, that would mean additional labels, but it might save more in time/labor/dollars. Just a thought.
I'd say that the amount of time making sure the right ones had the right labels and all that would end up being more than $6k in a year. And it's a lot of effort to put into something that might never happen again.
So many things the public doesn’t thing about going into a recall. Thanks for beeing
Jif is by far the best! But you gotta do what you gotta do.
It’s too bad the back door couldn’t of forgotten to be locked and someone broke in and steal all the peanut butter
The s'mores bark got me thinking. What if you guys did snack club bark?
I thought of you guys right when I heard about the recall, glad you caught it. You should be able to get reimbursed for it though.
They won't get reimbursed for all the labour and loss of other products used with the peanut butter etc.
You should try using Peter Pan peanut butter!!
That's what she said!
we did a blind taste test with peanut butter and everyone choose Peter Pan ......every single person.
Here's a joke for Terry and the molasses secret. A family of moles lived on a hill looking over a farmhouse and every Sunday, the farmers wife would get up early and start cooking a huge breakfast. She made country ham, bacon, sausages, pancakes and biscuits with molasses, eggs, fried potatoes and fresh squeezed orange juice. One Sunday, Poppa Mole stuck his head out of their hole and sniffed the air. He yelled down to his wife, Momma Mole, "Rosie", "Come on up and smell what the farmer's wife is cooking today. I can smell bacon and ham and fried potatoes. " Momma Mole pushed her head out of their hole and took a deep sniff and then yelled down to their son, Bobby. "Come up here and smell what the farmer's wife is cooking...I can smell biscuits and pancakes and the sweet smell of fresh orange juice." Bobby Mole tried and tried to push his way up to smell it all for himself but no matter how hard he pushed, he just couldn't get past Poppa Mole and Mamma Mole. Finally he just gave up and sat on the floor near the opening and pouted. Mamma and Poppa Mole called to him, asking if he could smell any of the wonderful smells in the air this morning to which, Bobby Mole grumbled, "I tried and I tried but all I can smell from here is Molasses. Now, that's a Molasses joke for ya, lol.
Skippy recalled in March. Batch numbers online. Recalled for steele fragments.
oh god
i grew up on skippy and peter pan pb
It’s usually fun having a Jif plant here in Lexington cause of the delightful smell of roasting peanuts wafting down the street. But it’s been a bummer to need such a widespread recall. Sorry it affected your candy!
I've always preferred Skippy over Jif . . . and I'm older that Steve!!
$6,000? Ouch!
Like my mother used to day, "I feel for you but I just can't reach you."...Because I'm in Colorado.
Ty so much for sharing the recall. I didn't know there was one and several packages I had was on the recall. I love Jif.
