Absolute nightmare to open the tins
The tins are an absolute nightmare. The key is glued/ the strip is hidden. When you finally find the strip and insert the key the tins are very hard to open. Damage hands and fingers trying to open. Finally had to use tin opener. Will never use this corned beef again and it's all because of the tins.

I discovered, quite by accident, that if you stand the can in water for a few minutes, the paper label will fall away easily, revealing the opening strip!

Do we consumers need to keep complaining about these tins before any body does something about it, surely Tesco is a big enough company to have a say on our behalf.
Vastly superior to other available corned beef
Excellent accompaniment to salad.
Excelent with reduced fat content we count it all
Excelent with reduced fat content we count it all ( the fat content ) retains the flavour
Hide the opening strip !!!
Love the corned beef….hate opening the can. Whoever designed the opening of these cans needs their head examined!
Do NOT buy Princes Corned Beef.
Who on earth is manufacturing these tins? 1) The tin had NO attached key to open it. 2) I noticed that the tin had no metal tag to turn, even if there had been a key. 3) I do not want to fight to open a small rectangular tin with a normal tin-opener. No chance of me buying Prince's Corned Beef again, until they sort themselves out at the factory.
great taste
excellent taste and very lean. Really good corned beef and makes fab sandwiches with picalilli I will say, whoever designed the packaging needs to find a new career. Who on earth in their right mind hides the key under the label and then glues the label onto the tin. It took me longer to get the key out than it did to make and eat the sandwiches. Absolutely crazy!
There is nothing wrong with corn beef itself. But
There is nothing wrong with corn beef itself. But whoever thought of hiding hook for key under label, took ages to peel off as label stuck firmly to tin. That is the main reason for only giving three stars. Needs attention in this area.
Don't bother !
I am rather furious !! I bought two small tins of this lean corned beef the other week. When I got round to using them, one of the keys was missing, and the other was stuck on the top of the tin. When I took the key off to open up the tin, there was no starter on the metal on which to hook the key into. I searched both tins, took off the label in both, and there was NO STARTER on the tins to hook the key into !!! I then had to use my very good tin opener to open up the tins - have you ever used a can opener to open up a square tin??? The upshot is that I broke my very good can opener , didn't I !!!!! What on earth is the manufacturer thinking about?? It was like trying to get into Fort Knox, not a can of bully beef !!! Sharpen up your act Princes , for goodness sake - we pay good money for the privilege of owning a can of bully beef, the least you can do is provide us with a can that open easily!!. By the way, the lean corned beef is good.
