Bitter Marcona Almonds from Costco

Anyone else experiencing bitter Marcona almonds from Spain purchased at Costco?

Grown in Spain
Roasted & Seasoned with Sea Salt

The last few cans of Kirkland branded Marcona Almonds have contained countless very very bitter nuts. I would estimate that 1 of 10 nuts are so bitter than you have to spit them out.

The Item # is 972800

UPC Code: 0-96619 97280 7

Call Costco at 800-774-2678 and report if you experience this and take them back to the warehouse.

I love these Marcona Almonds, but they are almost impossible to eat because once you get a bitter one you cannot eat any more, at least at that sitting.

Code on the bottom of the can:
L/657180 1 09023B 2890
