yes . to make up for the time they couldn ' t work in the fields due to cross country practice , jim white would sometimes give his time to them by helping them pick in the fields .
sometimes i helped them work in the fields ,
says the real coach jim white ,
but more importantly , i had practice at a different time . if one or two of those boys couldn ' t make practice at four o ' clock ' cause they ' re just gettin ' in from work , then i might practice at 6 or 7 o ' clock with those boys . so i ' d have two practices .

the culture reflects that most goya employees are hispanic and speak spanish , although neither is a requirement for employment . the familylike culture is intentional , unanue says .

bought a bag of goya brand broccoli from a local mini - market . brought the bag home and cooked with it . turns out , the broccoli had a terribly fishy smell and tasted like innards of a fish too . i don ' t know if this is a problem with my local corner store or fine folks over at goya . after reading all the reviews on this website , it ' s hard to tell because both seem equally likely . living in puerto rico , where there is a huge goya manufacturing plant , it seems like it might be difficult avoiding goya products altogether . but i will definitely be suspicious of the brand from here onward .

goya braces for a challenge from the food giants ,
new york times , february 24 , 1991 , sec . 3 , p . 5 .
andy unanue said some supermarkets were initially reluctant to give goya shelf space alongside more mainstream items and , instead offered the company a separate section for its goods . “instead of refusing the lesser offer , he used it to the company’s advantage and took it , ” he said . “we still have some stores that have goya sections , and that is because of my dad . ”
that rift has been healed , unanue says , as family members have settled business matters and reconciled . joseph will soon return to the goya board , where he will join bob and francisco .

from beans and rice , to quinoa , olive oil , seasoning , condiments , and even sardines , goya has been a mainstay for the newly immigrated - - especially those homesick for a family meal .
i bought a set of 6 malta goya at a local store . today i was drinking from one of the bottles and i took a pick on the inside . i found this thing , i can ' t figure out what it is . i can attach the picture for your review . pretty disgusting . i was not able to determine what it is but i will never drink malta goya again .
outsiders can practically chart immigration patterns by goya ' s growth , which has risen in places such as columbus , ohio ; pittsburgh ; raleigh - durham , n . c . ; and moab , utah .
herman : to explain this more clearly , goya veteran joseph perez , who oversees sales and marketing , walks amidst the stacks of tropical flavored drinks and jars of olives and points to one can of beans .

3 . goya keeps it in the family : fifteen relatives work at the 3 , 500 - person company . but none of the family members have appeared on the real housewives of new jersey . this is a disappointment .
4 . the company is doing a good job at expanding without alienating its latino customer base . goya is currently building a distribution facility in texas to bring more products to mexicans and mexican - americans . smart business strategy .
in short , it appears that goya ' s
business decision
was to not have anything to do with an organization that would march an unrepentant terrorist down fifth avenue while hailing him as a
national liberation hero
.
his father , anthony , an engineer by training , exposed his kids to life outside goya . for a brief stint , the family moved to maryland where anthony worked for the federal government . when they returned to new jersey , however , anthony started bringing 10 - year - old bob to goya ' s packing plant on saturdays . he says he can still remember the smell of yerba mate , the aromatic tea from argentina that used to dominate the air .
almost daily , goya drivers deliver cases of products to tens of thousands of u . s . food stores , from supermarket chains in texas to independent mom - and - pop bodegas in new york city to the wal - mart chain . it ' s a more costly method than dropping off jumbo shipments once a week and letting stores warehouse goods , but it lets goya offer greater variety and ensure that products match each store ' s demographics , peter unanue says .
i was making arroz con gandules , and when i poured the beans in my sauteed garlic , onion , and peppers , something big and green poured out of the bean can and it was a gross meal worm . my entire family is so grossed out by this . they don ' t want to look at this dish again . . . the expiration date on can is 2019 . there is a bunch of these same complaints . goya should not be in business if you can ' t keep bugs and worms out . it is disgusting and we will never buy goya products again . that goes for anyone i know that is aware of this happening . clean up your act goya . . .
the advertising campaign has reached south to florida , and will slowly expand westward . while goya is the strongest brand along the eastern seaboard , it has challengers in american west , where mexican companies have moved north of the border for a piece of the american market . goya is currently building a distribution facility in texas to more cheaply bring its american - made latino products to a huge chunk of the latino population : mexicans and mexican - americans living in texas and california .
according to unanue , the secret to goya’s success has been its ability to adapt to the needs of people flooding to america in search of a better life , while hanging on to the culture of the food that ties their families together .
food that’s good for you is a recurring theme for goya , particularly these days . unanue recently lost 50 pounds . he says it was all about finding a balance . “not too much food , sleep or work , ” he says .
black beans in the can all mush , skins off , smells like sulfur , top all liquid & the rest all solid . all 10 cans are the same - terrible and rotten . no return call from goya . done with them .
i was about to cook the red beans when i sat it down and noticed something on the surface . i struggled to empty out the remains and saw something very disturbing . i don ' t want to eat from goya anymore ? ? ?

i bought a bag of goya rice yesterday trying to stretch the meals for the week . when i made the first pot is when i found a maggot in the medium goya rice . i found it because i went to eat my food and there it was . so i went to the pot and there they all was it was , so nasty . i ' ve been using goya since i was 13 and never had this happen . it ' s wrong ' cause other families feed their kids this kind of rice . i ' m never buying it again . if i wanted to eat maggots i would have bought them but i bought rice , not maggots and this bag said it expires 2018 which at that point one fell out the bag .
since the change , goya has reinvested more profits , peter unanue says . family members and top executives , for instance , recently approved construction of a $ 26 million facility to expand its reach into central and south florida , where more hispanics have been moving .
goya® adobo adds super flavor in a flash . just sprinkle any of our vibrant blends , or our low - sodium versions over meats , poultry , seafood and vegetables before cooking . you can also use it to punch up the taste of sauces and marinades .
goya remained a private , entirely family - owned company in the 1990s . two of the founder ' s four sons and at least six of his 18 grandchildren were working for the firm . the unanues had a combined net worth estimated at $ 400 million in 1993 .
burt flickinger : every store can have a different assortment , so if it ' s people from the caribbean and you have dominican consumers in one neighborhood and two blocks away cuban consumers , goya will have a slightly different assortment for preferences for consumers from different caribbean countries .

evidence of the ' new jersey comeback . '

joseph was named chief executive in the mid - 1970s and had increased revenue to more than $ 1 billion , from $ 20 million , by the time he left in 2004 . under his watch , goya struck up a relationship with walmart and a number of grocery chains .
i found a worm in the goya green pigeon beans when i was moving the beans around . this is disgusting . i ' ve seen others complained about this and nothing has been done . i will see if i can sue the industry . i ' m tired of this .
astrachan says there ' s no evidence that hispanic - run businesses are any different than non - hispanic businesses , especially at the billion - dollar level . but visitors can immediately sense that goya is different when they enter its headquarters ' surprisingly modest 1970s - era wood - paneled lobby .
“we are very disappointed at goya for pulling out of our parade via a phone call and with no rationale other than ‘it was a business decision . ’ we have learned more through the press , since we have not yet received any official notification , in writing . ” the statement read . “after a 60 - year partnership , we would expect to , at the very least , discuss this very serious matter face - to - face . in the end , goya is jeopardizing the parade’s commitment to 100 college and college - bound students who stood to receive parade scholarships . ”
i am very disgusted with goya . i opened a can of green pigeon peas to make rice and beans . i look in the can and see a big maguey worm floating at the top . i called their customers service and they hung up on me . i have left messages , nothing . if a worm that big ends up in a can . it makes me wonder how clean is their processing center . disgusting . i hope the ceo spends all eternity opening cans of beans with worms as big as the one i had in my can . i will never buy goya again .
herman : it ' s not only knowing the differences but it ' s making sure that can of beans is in the right store in the right neighborhood . to do that , goya - unlike many of its competitors - still delivers direct to stores , especially those corner groceries known as bodegas .
in 1936 , the unanue family , immigrants from spain who were living in puerto rico , moved to new york in the hopes of finding better job opportunities . at the time , they catered strictly to hispanic families . prudencio purchased the rights to the goya name for just $ 1 at the time .
i ' ve been a customer of goya for many years . i had a question about their goya cola champagne . everyone i call , no matter what time of day it is , i get voicemail . seriously ? customer service , voicemail only . why are you guys hiding from your customers . your success depends on us . if you leave a message they don ' t bother to call you back . they must have a big red delete button on their phones and press it all day long ! ! very disappointed in your service . hey , everyone buy from another company that cares about their customers .
the company is relocating from nearby secaucus , and will receive $ 82 million over 10 years in state tax credits , as well as a 20 - year tax break from jersey city that is worth about $ 8 million . goya says the move helped it to retain 500 jobs and add 100 new jobs .
in 2012 goya teamed up with first lady michelle obama to promote the usda’s myplate or miplato , a new food group symbol designed to remind families about making healthy meal choices and to consider portion sizes , unanue says the company is committed to the health and well - being of its consumers – particularly latinos .
vertically integrated goya had its own fleet of trucks , offering retailers direct , next day delivery from the warehouses . its salesmen dealt directly with the retailers ( rather than through wholesalers or brokers ) , making weekly visits to all its accounts and selling goya ' s goods to the smallest bodega at the same prices it did to supermarkets , which were now accounting for half of revenues . according to the company ' s sales chief , this was a comparatively recent change , because
fifteen years ago we had a hard time appealing to supermarkets . people told us they didn ' t want to offend their white customers .
people ' s desks also look different . they ' re cluttered with framed photos of babies , relatives and famous latinos employees have met at goya functions , such as latin jazz band leader tito puente and pop singer marc anthony . many employees display flags that declare their background , whether colombian , dominican or mexican .
when adding goya black beans to the pan i found small pieces of what i believe to be beef . how would beef end up in a can of vegetarian black beans ? ? makes me wonder what else could end up in their cans . i don ' t think i will buy their canned beans again .
will be equipped with solar panels , rail service and advanced technology , including a continuous motion line for goya ' s popular rice mixes . this will produce 600 packages per minute , six times faster than the current production capability . the installation of rail service will significantly reduce transportation costs , traffic congestion and fuel consumption .
herman : and as more spanish - speaking immigrants came to this country - from cuba , puerto rico , central and south america - goya grew along with them . sales are now more than a billion dollars a year . but it ' s not just the surge in the hispanic population that accounts for its success .
they’ve done it without alienating their traditional consumers . goya enjoys a 25 % market share among authentic hispanic food brands ( the category excludes fakers like taco bell ) , according to neilsen . by 2015 latinos are expected to make up 17 . 8 percent of the american population and wield $ 1 . 5 trillion in buying power .
at goya ' s annual christmas bashes , he shows his latin roots by taking his wife , college sweetheart muriel fitzpatrick , to the dance floor and dancing merengue and salsa . he says they took dance lessons when they lived in puerto rico , where unanue ran operations for seven of the years they lived there from 1980 to 1990 .
he’s also dedicated to making sure his company serves others . goya gives away millions of pounds of food each year to catholic charities . he’s on the board of maestro cares , a foundation started by pop superstar marc anthony and entrepreneur henry cardenas . the non - profit works to benefit homeless and neglected children in developing countries in latin america .
to meet divergent needs , goya sells 1 , 600 products ranging from bags of rice to ready - to - eat , frozen empanadas , up from 1 , 100 five years ago . the mix includes 38 varieties of beans alone , including the
powerhouse
frijoles negros favored by cubans and the recently added mayacobas favored by peruvians , he says .
they could sell out , especially now with the usa ' s weak dollar . european companies are shopping for bargains in the food industry , he says . and goya may look attractive , with a debt - free balance sheet , leading market position and double - digit growth last year . but unanue says the family has no intention of bowing out .
goya has been a cornerstone of our state ' s business community and a great corporate citizen with a commitment to keep jobs here in new jersey . as the nation ' s largest hispanic owned food company , they have not only added to our economic growth , but stand as an example of our state ' s extraordinary diversity ,
says governor
inskeep : that ' s an ad for goya , which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year . with more than 2 , 000 different products - from coconut juice to bean varieties - the company has steadily grown , along with the country ' s latino population , and so you learn something about the changing country from this company ' s story .
mr . unanue ( pronounced oo - nan - way ) was one of four sons of prudencio and carolina unanue , who founded goya in 1936 to sell olives , olive oil , sardines and other food to local hispanic families . andy unanue said his father started working at the company as a boy , delivering food and running errands during the summer and on weekends .
i was cutting up some chipotle peppers from a can of goya’s chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and found what appeared to be a cigarette butt . i tore it to shreds and surely it seems to be one . i understand that it must be a huge facility and hard to completely regulate , but are these people smoking inside and throwing the butts into the product ?
goya ' s new adobo light makes it possible to reduce your sodium intake without sacrificing great flavor . shake adobo light onto your beef , chicken and fish dishes prior to cooking for the same irresistable flavor boost you ' ve enjoyed from our adobo products for years , but with just half the sodium . eat healthfully and know that less sodium doesn ' t necessarily mean less flavor .
on june 16 , 2014 i opened a can of goya pigeon peas , and noticed a meaty object floating on the top . i thought to myself , please let this be bacon , but i didn ' t recall the can saying it contained bacon . i was immediately sick to my stomach . but before i got my stomach more upset , i called my husband in to examined and hopefully clarify what i thought was bacon was really bacon . not , he removed the
thing
and it was a worm ! ! ! ! i immediately called goya and all they did was apologize and stated they would issue a refund . but i see there are many of these cases and i believe something should be done ! ! ! ! this is crazy ! !
the company ' s longevity makes goya a rarity . just 10 % of family - owned businesses reach the third generation , with most failing due to family rivalries , says joe astrachan , a management professor and executive director of cox family enterprise center . the businesses that succeed typically have members who take pride in their mission , as opposed to working only for the money , he says .
herman : robert ' s grandfather , prudencio , emigrated from spain and founded the company in lower manhattan . he sold spanish - made food products to his fellow immigrants . but in 1936 , when the spanish civil war made importing from that country impossible , prudencio sold sardines from morocco labeled goya . he liked the name , bought it for a dollar , and the company was born .
last night , brought two cans of goya gondolas , pour both in pot and cut up my onions and green peppers and seasoned them with garlic , sazon , etc . anyway , while i was stirring up the ingredients i noticed something long and green i thought it was a stem , so i pick it out , it was a long nasty worm . i show my friend who was here with me . she was disgusted just as much as i was . after last night i don ' t think i will buy anymore goya products especially after reading other reviews , and turns out in the sofrito jar , there wasn ' t supposed to be meat inside it and i seen i plenty of times but never thought anything of it , until today i ' m so disgusted .
but the fraying magazines and gurgling fish tank front an accelerating enterprise with numbers that would make any startup smile . though goya has been serving latinos in the u . s . for 77 years , president and ceo bob unanue had the simple but powerful idea a couple years ago to market key products - - adobo seasoning , low - sodium beans and yellow rice - - directly to non - hispanics .
so how did it go from culture - specific to mainstream ? it all began in 1992 , when goya began to ramp up its efforts to target the mainstream in their advertising . and , with the changing face of america - - whereas latinos were once a marginalized minority , some estimates project that america will be predominantly latino by the year 2050 - - that made the transition into the mainstream much easier .
in 1956 , the company moved its headquarters to secaucus , n . j . , and by the 1970s the company had purchased an olive farm in spain . along the way , the company adopted a staple tag line of
if it ' s goya , it has to be good ,
reinforcing the company ' s commitment to quality food at affordable prices that stayed true to the hispanic heritage and culture .
as the ad campaign expands across the country , the company ' s revenue numbers should grow nicely .
if goya or any other latin - american brand is able to penetrate into the non - hispanic consumer market , it will be really easy for them to double in size ,
says nacho hernandez of online specialty latino retailer mexgrocer . com .
it ' s just a much larger market , period .
ayyyyy goya ! i love corned beef . but if the key breaks , there is no easy way to open the can . would you consider making the can round ? i posted a comment on my facebook and discovered that there are many people with the same sentiment . finally enjoying my white rice and corned beef . it ' s an amazing product that is a staple in the latin kitchen . thanks for listening .
i recently bought a 10 pack malta goya from a local supermarket and on opening one of them i found an object that look like a long piece of a dead reptile . can provide a photo , and was so disgusting that i immediately dry retched . how could a company continue to be in business when so many complaints have been lodged against so many of their products ? it is so wrong that they have not been brought to task ?
cooked some rice and was going to add my green pigeon peas from goya . upon opening the can 95 % of the way , i let the liquid flow out while holding the top lid so peas don ' t fall out . then when i opened up the lid to rinse them , i immediately see this long maggot on the side . absolutely disgusting ! i have been a customer for goya products most of my life and i cannot recall how many times i have had this same product , i just never ever actually looked through it or noticed maggots before so i hope to god i didn ' t ingest anything unknowingly . i then removed the maggot and tossed it in the garbage . i emptied out the entire can on a bag to see if there were more but there was no more to be found . i tossed it all out , ate my rice plain so i don ' t waste it .
the result ? after nearing the $ 1 billion sales mark in 2010 , goya ' s revenues hit $ 1 . 3 billion in 2012 , sources say , making it one of the fastest - growing food companies in the u . s .
we like to say we don ' t market to latinos , we market as latinos ,
says unanue , who acknowledges the success but won ' t discuss the numbers . his billionaire family still fully controls the business , and 15 family members work at the 3 , 500 - employee company today .
around late november 2014 , i purchased a bag of goya jasmine rice at shoprite . when i went to rinse the rice , small bugs that looked like ants came floating to the top of water . i couldn ' t believe it . i poured that batch out and to be sure the ant like bugs did not come from my sink i poured more rice in a container and lo and behold there were several more ! it was the most disgusting thing ! i can ' t get the image out of my mind . i haven ' t had rice since .
this decision is of particular importance , given goya ' s standing as the most
in - community
of the parade ' s sponsors . but what does this say of the other sponsors ? if they continue to stay on as sponsors after the decision to honor lópez rivera , hispanic media networks such as univision , telemundo and sbs are also tacitly co - signing on to oscar lópez rivera ' s tactics , methods , acts , and intended outcomes ( it should be noted that univision , in particular , has done the most to whitewash lópez rivera ' s actual history ) .
really disappointing . i understand this can happen and upon investigating , it has happened too many times . unfortunately i will stop buying goya products especially the canned pigeon peas . i will thoroughly look better next time from whatever brand i buy . i am at work and i cannot submit receipt at this time but feel free to contact me and i will happily provide it if i can ' t add it later . for the record , i bought it at tony ' s on 4137 n elston ave , chicago , il 60618 . i have another can at home , i will probably boil those if i find nothing inside and then consume it so i don ' t waste it .
