Hello, I love your cereal.

Hello, I love your cereal. Do you know the breakdown of the dietary fiber: how much is soluble & how much is insoluble? Soluble is more effective in lowering cholesterol, so I am interested in that. Thank you.

I noticed that the omega 3 cereals don’t have “vegan” on the side of the box.  However, I don’t see any ingredients that I would think of as non-vegan.  Is this cereal Vegan, or am I missing something?

The total fat content is 10

The total fat content is 10 g, you list only 9.6 g of the 10. Where and what is the .4g that is not listed??

FDA FOOD LABELING

FDA FOOD LABELING GUIDELINES Since it’s 9.6g…It seems your company rounds it to 10g. The discrepancies occur when you list: 1.6g,5.2g,2.8g>>>why round the total fat and not the subdivisions of types of fat. Rounding should be the same for the entire fat category—-in the end you get the same amount of grams anyway.   

Hi there! Thanks so much for

Hi there! Thanks so much for taking the time to write to us! The 9.6g of fat is rounded to 10 grams as a result of rounding rules. There are not other types of fat that weren’t listed on the nutritional panel. All the best, Heather, Brand Ambassador, Hemp Plus Granola lover

I know that’s why I posted

I know that’s why I posted the FDA guidelines on rounding. If that’s the case though then all the other figures should be rounded as well. Your late on responding—-I posted about the rounding on 8/10

I just purchased this product

I just purchased this product at Costco. I loved the Dietary Fiber and Protein content. I didn’t think the taste would be great since the Nutritional Info was superior to other products. I was wrong and I love the taste. However, I agree with the review posted by Anonymous on 8/3 that it is a little too sweet. I honestly had to go back to the box after taking a bite of it to check the sugar content. Other than that I am very pleased.

Thanks for writing to us,

Thanks for writing to us, Roxanne. We have passed along your feedback to our research and development team. Cheers, Heather, Brand Ambassador, Hemp Plus Granola lover

I just started eating this

I just started eating this granola and love it. I add a little bit of protein powder and ground flax to each serving, topped with Low-Fat plain Kefir. Delicious. My only wish is that this granola was not so sweet. I am not diabetic nor have any condition where I need to watch sugar content, I simply think it tastes a little too sweet (therefore less like a meal, which is my preference, and more like a snack). I’m sure many people out there love the sweetness, after all, so many are “addicted” to sweet tastes and/or do view this as a sweet treat. It would be nice to have a less sweet alternative for the rest of us whether for medical, dietary, or choice/taste preference reasons.

Thanks so much for taking the

Thanks so much for taking the time to write to us. We will be sure to pass along your comments to our research and development team. Please note that our Organic Puffed Bagged cereals and the Original Hot Oatmeal do not contain any added sugar.

This product is THE best

This product is THE best granola I have found and it has the fewest carbs and sugars when compared to most other garnolas I found. Love it so much! Thank you. I can’t wait to try other products by nature’s path.

I LOVE this cereal, but could you please ground the flaxseeds so we get the most nutrition from them possible? That would make this cereal even better! Thanks for a great product!

Thaks for your great comment!

Thaks for your great comment! The flaxseeds that we use are not all fully ground or crushed because they go rancid very quickly without refrigeration or the use of preservatives. However, some of the seeds do actually get ground up by the cereal manufacturing process to make more nutrients available. Best, Heather, Brand Ambassador, Hemp Plus Granola lover

Hi, When it comes to boxed

Hi, When it comes to boxed cereal most of them just aren’t to good for us. They either have way to much sodium or sugar and lack the dietary fiber that we need. I found that Nature’s Path came as close to eating healthy as there is without making your own from quick oats or steel cut oats.

Hi Dave! Thanks for taking

Hi Dave! Thanks for taking the time to let us know how much you are enjoying our granola. Agreed, it is delicious (and healhty)! All the best, Heather, Brand Ambassador, Hemp Plus Granola lover

From the list of the

From the list of the ingredients it’s gluten free. However, it’s not listed on the packaging. Is it “Gluten Free”?

Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for your comment. Our granola is not gluten free beacause they contain 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.You may wish to try some of our certified gluten free cereals, including our Crunchy Maple Sunrise, Crunchy Vanilla Sunrise, Mesa Sunrise Flakes and yummy Whole O’s. All the best, Heather, Brand Ambassador, Hemp Plus Granola lover

I appreciate the

I appreciate the question/answer page for your products. My family is investigating possible gluten sensitivities and I’m increasingly confused about OATS. Thanks for addressing the question about whether this product is gluten free. I was hoping that it was because it tastes so yummy.

I’m guessing it’s not

I’m guessing it’s not certified organic, which would prevent it from using the Certified GF logo.

Hi Eric. Thanks so much for

Hi Eric. Thanks so much for taking the time to write to us about our products. Nature’s Path Organic Pumpkin Flax Plus® Granola is certified organic but is not certified gluten free (GF). Certified Organic means the product doesn’t contain artificial preservatives, additives or genetically modified organism (GMOs) and the ingredients are not grown with toxic pesticides, chemical fertilizers or fumigants.

I absolutely love this cereal

I absolutely love this cereal and although I am aware that the box is sized with the content mass in mind, it would be great if you guys could make larger boxes with a greater quantity so I dont have to buy countless cereal boxes every time I go shopping. Thanks

Hi William, thanks for sharing your feedback with us. It’s great to hear that you love our Pumpkin Flax Plus® Granola! For your convenience, this product is also available in a larger 26.4 oz bag, called an EcoPac.

A “Tree-hugger/earth burger”

A “Tree-hugger/earth burger” weighs in on the changes of the Pumpkin Flax Plus Granola. I buy this product in San Diego. Nature’s Path claims to be organic and therefore they can charge more money for their product because of that. And therefore being a health/nutrition conscious consumer that prides myself on being a “tree-hugger/earth burger” I trust Nature’s Path to provide a high nutrient/calorie food with no harmful ingredients packaged in an environmentally sound way. Well there have been changes made to the product without the company being completely forthright about it in the last month. 1. They no longer sell it at my Costco. (Only the one with raisins, which is not the same.) 2. So now I have to pay more to buy it elsewhere. 3. The taste and crunch and pumpkin seed content in fact have changed, not for the better. The granola lacks the “hard” crunch it used to have and the pumpkin seeds seem to have disappeared. The granola no longer remains “chewy” while floating in the mix of fage yogurt and soy milk. It’s more like wet paper. 4. It doesn’t take a scale or measuring cup or rocket scientist to see that the content of the “new and environmentally improved” smaller box does not have the same amount of product. Trust me, no one “weighs” their breakfast cereal. 5. On a similar note, shouldn’t a box of cereal have at least one week’s worth of servings in it instead of only half a week or 4 days? So now you have to buy 2 boxes instead of the one anyways? I guess that would mean that we would realize that we are spending approximately $8 a week on breakfast cereal instead of $4. Are we really having truth in advertising? 5. McDonald’s may be able to fool the average American into believing that their food is “good for you”. I felt superior in knowing that McDonald’s is falsely advertising their product as “food”. Now I’m questioning my knowledge and trust in Nature’s Path in their promotion of “organic health” when the above issues have been raised. 6. I would not have even written this review until I read all of the other comments above addressing the same issue and I became more concerned that I am not the only one disappointed in this product by Nature’s Path. I’m not sure what it’s going to take to get me to buy another box, except for a return to the original formula, packaging, weight content perhaps? The proof will be in the proverbial yogurt/soy milk “pudding”.

Hi there, thanks for taking

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, we appreciate your feedback. We are very sorry that your purchase did not meet your expectations; your comments about Pumpkin Flax Plus® Granola have been passed onto our Brand Manager. Our granola at Costco is packaged in an exclusive, jumbo- sized box that is not available at other retailers. This granola is available on a temporary basis and is alternated throughout the year. I would suggest putting in a special request with the customer service department at the retailer if they stop selling the promotional item you are seeking. In addition to Costco, our products are sold at Sam’s Club, BJs, Wal-Mart, and are available at most major retailers across North America, and at many health food stores too. You can be rest assured that we have not changed the ingredients of this product, nor have we reformulated it. Our granola is formulated to stick together in clumps, and we now include larger clumps in this product for those seeking the clusters of yumminess. In terms of the granola serving, the previous standard box contained 11.5oz net weight of product and the new box also contains 11.5oz net weight. This product is also available in a 26.4 oz bag, called an EcoPac bag and also as a loose/bulk product at some health food stores for your convenience. Lastly, our products are USDA Certified Organic, which means they don’t contain artificial preservatives, additives or genetically modified organism (GMOs) and the ingredients are not grown with toxic pesticides, chemical fertilizers or fumigants. I hope this helps. Best, Emily, Brand Ambassador, Maple Pecan Maven

Can you please make a yummy

Can you please make a yummy no cane sugar gluten free granola using rolled buckwheat flakes instead of oats?????????? There are a million people asking for tjhe same thing on this blog…..are you all taking the posts seriously? Glutren free people market is skyrocketing every day and the products available are sugary and low in fiber and lack a variety of nutritional value in many ways. Why not make every cereal you offer gluten free? You would open up your prodcuts to so many more people. I want granola, not corn flakes. I dont want to have to bake my own or mix 3 boxes together every time.

I just checked the label on

I just checked the label on my costco purchased bag of granola and am shocked to see trans fats .3 grams per serving. I don’t see that on the label here on the website. I’m really hoping that it’s a typo on my package. Could you please clarify? Thanks

Hi there, thanks for taking

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to write to us. Our apologies about the label, it was a typing error on the packaging and it has been corrected. You can be assured that this product does not contain any trans fats. Best, Emily, Brand Ambassador, Maple Pecan Maven

Best cereal ever! PLEASE

Best cereal ever! PLEASE consider offering a half the sweetness variety as many of the cereal companies are now doing. Then we can have the fully sweetened original style for those dessert munchies snacktimes and then enjoy a healthier variety for breakfast or with yogurt.

Hi there, thanks for taking

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us! We offer over 80 products at a varitey of sweetness levels, and we are aware that an increased number of people are searching for sugar free and low sugar foods to include in their diet. Our product team is working hard to develop new products that meet these criteria. Your comments have been passed to the brand manager. Best, Kyla, Brand Ambassador, Gorilla Munch Addict

This is not a reply to above

This is not a reply to above author, but rather an agreement in the suggestion in reducing the amount of sugar and carbohydrates. I very much like this product but I am a diabetic and would very much would like this product with less sugar and carbohydrates. TO THE MANUFACTURER: PLEASE TRY TO MARKET THIS PRODUCT WITH LESS SUGAR AND CARBOHYDRATES. Thank you.

Hi Gene, thank you for

Hi Gene, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the sugar and carbohydrate levels of this product. We do offer a selection of products that are low in sugar as a suggested alternative to the product you purchased. I would suggest trying our Organic Puffed Bagged cereals and the Original Hot Oatmeal, which do not contain any added sugar. Best, Kyla, Brand Ambassador, Gorilla Munch Addict

4 servings isn’t “about 6”

4 servings isn’t “about 6” My wife and I have been eating the granola for a while now. We enjoy the taste and were impressed with the new packaging. We were surprised at the amount of settling that still occurred, and when we measured the serving size we discovered that there were only four- 3/4 cup servings in the entire box. The nutrition facts states that the servings per package is “about 6.” Four cups is not “about 6.” We don’t mind paying for good granola, but when there is false information on the box it is hard to accept any of it. We are not sure if Nature’s Path is a company worth our continued support. Please let us know how you intend to correct this matter.

I would like to suggest

I would like to suggest weighing out a serving. Kitchen scales are one of the best tools to have!This method is more accurate than scooping out a serving with measuring cups. Works for me, and I get “about 6” servings out of it!

This cereal tastes great, but

This cereal tastes great, but mainly I’m writing to say thanks for selling a product that has packaging the size of the contents! I love that you have eliminated the wasteful packaging and wish more companies would take your lead.

Discovered Flaxplus at Trader

Discovered Flaxplus at Trader Joe’s about 6 months ago and am now buying in bulk at Costco. I eat straight out of the box as a snack with my afternoon tea. There have seen several complaints on this page about the lack of pumpkin seeds. I noticed that too. But an easy solution is to buy pumpkin seeds (Pepitas) on the side and throw a bunch more in to each serving. A cheap, easy and healthy solution to a minor problem with Flaxplus.

I’m not sure what it’s going to take to get me to buy another box, except for a return to the original formula, packaging, weight content perhaps? The proof will be in the proverbial yogurt/soy milk “pudding”.

Hi there, thanks for taking

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, we appreciate your feedback. We are very sorry that your purchase did not meet your expectations; your comments about Pumpkin Flax Plus® Granola have been passed onto our Brand Manager. Our granola at Costco is packaged in an exclusive, jumbo- sized box that is not available at other retailers. This granola is available on a temporary basis and is alternated throughout the year. I would suggest putting in a special request with the customer service department at the retailer if they stop selling the promotional item you are seeking. In addition to Costco, our products are sold at Sam’s Club, BJs, Wal-Mart, and are available at most major retailers across North America, and at many health food stores too. You can be rest assured that we have not changed the ingredients of this product, nor have we reformulated it. Our granola is formulated to stick together in clumps, and we now include larger clumps in this product for those seeking the clusters of yumminess. In terms of the granola serving, the previous standard box contained 11.5oz net weight of product and the new box also contains 11.5oz net weight. This product is also available in a 26.4 oz bag, called an EcoPac bag and also as a loose/bulk product at some health food stores for your convenience. Lastly, our products are USDA Certified Organic, which means they don’t contain artificial preservatives, additives or genetically modified organism (GMOs) and the ingredients are not grown with toxic pesticides, chemical fertilizers or fumigants. I hope this helps. Best, Emily, Brand Ambassador, Maple Pecan Maven

Can you please make a yummy

Can you please make a yummy no cane sugar gluten free granola using rolled buckwheat flakes instead of oats?????????? There are a million people asking for tjhe same thing on this blog…..are you all taking the posts seriously? Glutren free people market is skyrocketing every day and the products available are sugary and low in fiber and lack a variety of nutritional value in many ways. Why not make every cereal you offer gluten free? You would open up your prodcuts to so many more people. I want granola, not corn flakes. I dont want to have to bake my own or mix 3 boxes together every time.

I just checked the label on

I just checked the label on my costco purchased bag of granola and am shocked to see trans fats .3 grams per serving. I don’t see that on the label here on the website. I’m really hoping that it’s a typo on my package. Could you please clarify? Thanks

Hi there, thanks for taking

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to write to us. Our apologies about the label, it was a typing error on the packaging and it has been corrected. You can be assured that this product does not contain any trans fats. Best, Emily, Brand Ambassador, Maple Pecan Maven

Best cereal ever! PLEASE

Best cereal ever! PLEASE consider offering a half the sweetness variety as many of the cereal companies are now doing. Then we can have the fully sweetened original style for those dessert munchies snacktimes and then enjoy a healthier variety for breakfast or with yogurt.

Hi there, thanks for taking

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us! We offer over 80 products at a varitey of sweetness levels, and we are aware that an increased number of people are searching for sugar free and low sugar foods to include in their diet. Our product team is working hard to develop new products that meet these criteria. Your comments have been passed to the brand manager. Best, Kyla, Brand Ambassador, Gorilla Munch Addict

This is not a reply to above

This is not a reply to above author, but rather an agreement in the suggestion in reducing the amount of sugar and carbohydrates. I very much like this product but I am a diabetic and would very much would like this product with less sugar and carbohydrates. TO THE MANUFACTURER: PLEASE TRY TO MARKET THIS PRODUCT WITH LESS SUGAR AND CARBOHYDRATES. Thank you.

Hi Gene, thank you for

Hi Gene, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the sugar and carbohydrate levels of this product. We do offer a selection of products that are low in sugar as a suggested alternative to the product you purchased. I would suggest trying our Organic Puffed Bagged cereals and the Original Hot Oatmeal, which do not contain any added sugar. Best, Kyla, Brand Ambassador, Gorilla Munch Addict

4 servings isn’t “about 6”

4 servings isn’t “about 6” My wife and I have been eating the granola for a while now. We enjoy the taste and were impressed with the new packaging. We were surprised at the amount of settling that still occurred, and when we measured the serving size we discovered that there were only four- 3/4 cup servings in the entire box. The nutrition facts states that the servings per package is “about 6.” Four cups is not “about 6.” We don’t mind paying for good granola, but when there is false information on the box it is hard to accept any of it. We are not sure if Nature’s Path is a company worth our continued support. Please let us know how you intend to correct this matter.

I would like to suggest

I would like to suggest weighing out a serving. Kitchen scales are one of the best tools to have!This method is more accurate than scooping out a serving with measuring cups. Works for me, and I get “about 6” servings out of it!

This cereal tastes great, but

This cereal tastes great, but mainly I’m writing to say thanks for selling a product that has packaging the size of the contents! I love that you have eliminated the wasteful packaging and wish more companies would take your lead.

Discovered Flaxplus at Trader

Discovered Flaxplus at Trader Joe’s about 6 months ago and am now buying in bulk at Costco. I eat straight out of the box as a snack with my afternoon tea. There have seen several complaints on this page about the lack of pumpkin seeds. I noticed that too. But an easy solution is to buy pumpkin seeds (Pepitas) on the side and throw a bunch more in to each serving. A cheap, easy and healthy solution to a minor problem with Flaxplus.
