YUM!! Love this cereal. I always eat Kellogs Raisin Bran and just found out thats its not as healthy as I thought it was so I switched to N.P. I find N.P. much tastier but the raisins were few and very hard. I just added a handful of my own raisins and it was perfect. Cant wait to try your other products.

Hi Marcia and thanks for

Submitted by Justine on September 30, 2011 - 09:47.

Hi Marcia and thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We’re really sorry you had this experience. The raisins are metered into the box by weight by a vibratory feeder. Unfortunately, sometimes the raisins become a sticky clump. We don’t use chemicals, which can impact the nutrition negatively, that non-organic companies use to separate the raisins . Therefore, the right amount of raisins per box take careful and diligent quality control processes. To make this right, please contact Nicolette, Consumer Services, using our contact form here: http://www.naturespath.com/contact-us. All the best, Justine, Nature’s Path Team.

Submitted by Carrie (not verified) on August 15, 2011 - 05:42.

I love this cereal but I find the raisins to be very hard and almost painful to chew. I’ve had other raisin brans that have really juicy ones, but I don’t enjoy their flakes as much. Is there any way you could get the raisins to retain more moisture? Thanks so much, Carrie

Thanks for reaching out to us

Submitted by Jamie on August 17, 2011 - 14:58.

Thanks for reaching out to us Carrie. We’re so sorry you experienced this. Because our cereals are organic we don’t use preservatives like other companies which keep the raisins soft. I suggest checking out the expiry date on the box of cereal before purchase and pick the cereal with the longest best before date. As per our quality guarantee, please complete our Contacts page here http://www.naturespath.com/contact-us and Nicolette will reimburse you for your purchase so you can find the box that’s just right.

This question is a follow up on your reply to CJ on April 12, 2011. I select cereals based on refined sugar levels. Please let me know how many grams of sugar from evaporated cane juice, from raisins, and from any other ingredients (e.g., Barley malt extract) you add per serving.

Hi Philip and thanks for reaching out to us. I’m sorry but we don’t test the sugar levels in each ingredient, only in the product as a whole. I will forward your request to our brand manager though so she can look into this for future. Take care, Jamie, Nature’s Path Team

I really enjoy your Flax Bran

Submitted by deener (not verified) on June 24, 2011 - 15:16.

I really enjoy your Flax Bran raisin bran cereal. However, the last several times I've bought a box (I live in Southern California), there have been VERY few raisins. I mean, maybe a dozen in the entire box. Is this just a random packaging issue, or are you cutting back on raisin quantity (for cost-saving or other reasons)? Thank you.

Hi Deener and thanks for

Submitted by Jamie on June 29, 2011 - 07:50.

Hi Deener and thanks for getting in touch with us. We’re so sorry to hear about this. Our raisins are fed through a vibratory feeder by weight into each box. Because we’re an organic company we don’t add chemicals to separate the raisins - This means that when the right amount of raisins are dropped into the box they sometimes stick together in clumps making it look like there are less raisins. We are working on a way to resolve this issue and since we’re organic, we have to find a way to do this without using artifical preservatives or addititives. Please email a clear scan or photo of the expiry date flap to Nicolette at consumerservices@naturespath.com and she will be sure to look after you. All the best, Jamie, Nature’s Path Team

Submitted by charlie (not verified) on May 23, 2011 - 07:52.

I liked the cereal but my only complaint is the sodium level of 190 mg. Not good for hypertension profiles. Also, why is it necessary to add sea salt? Other cereal companies do not always do this - the whole grain cereal I have been using for years has zero sodium. If it was lower in yours it would be good for everyone.

Hi Charlie and thanks for reaching out to us. We have many different products with different nutritionals so please find the cereal that matches your preferences. If you are looking for a delicious cereal lower in sodium I suggest our Optimum Cranberry Ginger with only 95 mg of sodium. Please give it a try and let us know what you think. I have forwarded your suggestion to our R&D team though so they can look into your comments. All the best, Jamie, Nature’s Path Team

Thanks so much for taking the time to get in touch with us CJ! We really appreciate that you provided your feedback as our consumer’s thoughts are very important to us. The sugar content is higher in this cereal due to the natural sugar content of the organic raisins. At Nature’s Path we offer many different products at varying degrees of sweetness. We also use organic ingredients which means our products don’t contain artificial preservatives, additives or genetically modified organisms. Take care CJ, Jamie, Nature’s Path Team

Submitted by Daniel (not verified) on February 23, 2011 - 14:24.

Hi, I love your product, but one thing I’m disappointed in is that the raisins vary from box to box. One box I get a ton of raisins, and the other box I get hardly any. I will keep buying this product, but is there any way you folks at Nature’s Path could please fix this? It is the best flavored raisin bran I’ve ever had.

Hi Daniel and thanks so much

Hi Daniel and thanks so much for taking the time to get in touch with us. We’re so sorry that you’re disappointed in your purchase. We meter the raisins by weight in a vibratory feeder and then it’s added into cereal. Sometimes the raisins clump together which makes it seem like there are less raisins in some boxes than others. Because we’re an organic company we don’t use chemicals to separate the raisins. We are looking at a way to fix this issue though. As per our quality quarantee, please email a scan or photo of the expiry date flap to Nicolette in Consumer Services at consumerservices@naturespath.com and she’ll make things right.

Hi —- love your cereal, although i agree that the amount of raisins varies quite a bit from box to box. I’m wondering how much flaxseed is in 1 Cup of cereal. I see the Omega -3 amounts, but want to know how much flaxseed there actually is, and what type of flax. thanks for your help and for making great products!

Hi there Deb and thanks so

Submitted by Jamie on February 3, 2011 - 15:36.

Hi there Deb and thanks so much for getting in touch with us. We are so sorry that you are not satisfied by some of our boxes. As per our quality guarantee, please email a clear scan or photograph of the expiry date flap to Nicolette in Consumer Services at consumerservices@naturespath.com. The raisins are measured by weight from a vibratory feeder and at times they join together in clumps. Because we are an organic company, we don’t use chemicals to separate the raisins, so we are still working to solve this problem using the best way possible. This cereal contains around 5% flaxseeds per 55g (3/4 cup) serving and we use organic brown flaxseeds. All the best Deb! Jamie, Nature’s Path Team

Overall great experience with the product! Agree on the package bag being harder than usual to open. Disagree with people’s comments on having low amounts of raisins….It could be, people are not good at using their spoons anymore or if they demand a load of raisins, why not buy extra with your cereal??? As long as you keep working hard to fulfill your Vision, there is no need for failure.

Submitted by emily on December 2, 2010 - 14:04.

Hi Javier, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Regarding the seal, it is common practice that non- organic foods companies use artificial chemicals, preservatives or additives in packaging to prevent food from going prematurely stale. For many years, we instead relied on using a strong seal to ensure product freshness – a seal that required scissors to open the bag. Nature’s Path products are now packaged in our ‘easy-peal’ bags (no scissors required!), which will be available across our full range of products by the end of the year. Thanks for your feedback, Emily from Nature’s Path

Your cereals are delicious,

Submitted by Mark (not verified) on October 3, 2010 - 07:34.

Your cereals are delicious, and I love the position as being environmentally conscious as well as focused on quality nutrition. However, every time I open one of your cereals, I incur a noticable level of frustration opening the bag. The top seal of the bag is different from most cereals, and it does not readily open by hand. Therefore, I begin my experience with using your product frustrated. Then, in your Raisin Bran, I encounter plenty of bran, but seek the raisin. When I pour a bowl of raisin bran, I expect “raisin” to actually be “Raisins.” The bowl I just had contained a single raisin.
