I love the Organic hot

Submitted by Ghena (not verified) on August 23, 2010 - 02:49.
I love the Organic hot oatmeal cereal -Optimum blueberry/cinn/flax, Is it gluten free? The ingredients listed does not look like it contains wheat or gluten? if its not gluten free, what is making it that way? Could you make it gluten free? I love eating this hot cereal anytime of the day, it very filling, low calorie and a great tasting healthy food.

Hi Ghena! Thanks for taking

Hi Ghena! Thanks for taking the time to write to us! Our hot oatmeal is not gluten free because it contains oats. There is some discussion regarding the inclusion of oats. It seems that the protein in oats does not do damage, but the concern is the possibility of cross contamination of a gluten containing grain in the field or during the milling process. Therefore, at this time in North America most oats are not acceptable in a gluten free diet. Cheers, Heather, Brand Ambassador, Hemp Plus Granola lover

My 4 year old loves the Optimum Hot Oatmeal. It’s been his favorite for over a year now. The quality is always consistent, great flavor and just the right amount of blueberries (which are not huge, you should know, but it’s never been an issue for us). This will remain a standard in our house!

Hello Hope, thank you for taking the time to write us. We are happy to hear that our oatmeal is such a hit at your house. I am glad we have found the perfect amount of blueberries for you, because we work very hard to get that just right! Thanks again for the feedback and all the best, Leah, Nature’s Path Brand Ambassador

I love your product, however

I love your product, however I cannot understand why you use whole flax seeds. You do not get any benefit from whole flax seeds, they must be ground for the body to absorb them.  The tiny seeds can cause more problems in the intestines.  Please start using ground flax seeds in your products. Thank you

Great question! Your best bet is to look for samples & coupons at community events such as health fairs, environmental events and fun runs. Occasionally our products contain coupons on the inside of the boxes, online & in health & natural food magazines, as time limited offers. You can also look out for discounts & coupons at different times in your local stores.

My cereal had only 1 blueberry …was kind of disappointing. Will be switching to something other then Nature Path.

Sorry about your experience.

Submitted by kylie on July 21, 2009 - 14:27.
Sorry about your experience. The blueberries in the oatmeal are freeze dried and are very, very light. We meter them into the box by weight from a vibratory feeder and this process is a bit difficult to control, because the berries are so light. Please let our consumer services department know at consumerservices@naturespath.com so that we can get better.

I love the optimum oatmeal and having tried other flavors like this one best. However the Whole Foods in Jericho Long Island has not had it for several weeks. Today I went to Whole Foods in Chelsea NY and they too had none. Is there any way for you to contact the folks at Whole Foods to see what the problem is? At first I thought you stopped making it but from you website, it’s apparent you still do. I would appreciate your efforts in properly distributing your product. Thank you kindly.

Last spring I wrote you a blistering letter about the poor quality of your Granola with Cherries (not sure of the exact name and it looks like you don’t make it anymore). You responded by sending me some coupons to try your other products for free. Initially, I wasn’t going to use them, but I did use them recently. I want to let you know how much I enjoy your Organic Instant Hot Oatmeal Optimum and your FlaxPlus Pumpkin Granola Bars. They have quickly become two of my favorites! Since I whined about the other product last year, I felt I should also praise you for the products you do well. THANK YOU!!!
