Hi Marty - Thanks for getting in touch and for asking us your question. I’m glad to hear you’re taking your family’s health seriously and making this important switch to Non-GMO foods - great! I’m happy to share that this product is Non-GMO Project verified, and the new packaging will bear the Non-GMO Project logo on it. We thank you for your patience as we transition all of our packaging to our new look and hope that the new packaging will more clearly indicate product information to our customers. Take care, Itziar

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts John. At Nature’s Path our vision is to be a trusted name for quality organic foods in every home; socially responsible, environmentally sustainable and financially viable. Please understand that while we provide quality organic foods, we have always been concerned about our packaging. You may love the resealable zippers on packages, but these aren’t recyclable, therefore, we won’t use them until they are. The reusable sticker is used to hold the bag closed after you roll the top of the bag down. We are looking into making the sticker larger and including clearer instructions on the next batch of bags we make. All the best John, Jamie, Nature’s Path Team

Hi Linda and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’ve actually never packaged this cereal in a 900 g bag in the past. Our Millet Rice Flakes are packaged in a 907 g bag though, so this could cause confusion. We also have 2 new Eco-Pac flavors coming out this year in the 907 g bag. All the best, Jamie, Nature’s Path Team

Hi there Antoine and thanks for sharing your concerns with us. Nature’s Path products are not fried or cooked in oil. If you have any specific questions about how a certain product is made, then please email cereal@naturespath.com and they’ll be able to answer your question for you. All the best, Jamie, Nature’s Path Team

Thank you so much for writing in to us Lisa. Yes, you are correct. The reason we created the sticker is because the zip closures were not recyclable. We are currently looking into ways of making the sticker larger and including clearer instructions on the next batch of bags we make. Take care Lisa, Jamie, Nature’s Path Team

Hi Spencer, thanks so much for taking the time to write in to us. Nature’s Path Foods purchases from United States and Canadian Suppliers and internationally from recognized third-party certified organic suppliers. In this product, the organic corn meal and organic grape and/or pear juice concentrate from either Canada or the US, and the sea salt is from the US. I hope this helps! Thanks again for your time, take care, Jamie, Nature’s Path Team

EXACTLY-MUST BE A MARKETING SCAM & MAKES PRODUCTS HARDER TO LOCATE

Karen- We have heard the stickers are not working well after about ten sticks. Of course this is not performing to our standards so we’re looking for an eco friendly solution. In fact, the reason we created the sticker in the first place is because the zip closure is not recyclable. In the meantime, we’d like to somehow make you feel a little better about this inconvenience. Can we send you some Nature’s Path cereal bag clips until we get it fixed? Maria from Nature’s Path

Hi Deborah, We did not reduce the amount of cereal in our packages. I’d be more than happy to send you packaging samples from before and after our packaging material reduction so you can see that the net weights are exactly the same. We have reduced the amount of recyclable plastic used (we call this the Eco Pac outer) making the package look smaller. I can assure you that we would never make a change like that without making sure our customers were well aware. Is it possible that you received a package that was not filled properly? Please contact me directly at 604 248 8856 so we can make this right. Maria, from Nature’s Path

Hi Nelson - Our apologies. There is no secret to resealing our Eco Pacs. Although we tested the new resalable sticker (in cold, warm and everything in between weather) we hear its losing its stickiness after ten applications (see above post to Karen). We’re trying to get it fixed in a way that considers the environment. Until then we’d like to send you some Nature’s Path cereal bag clips. If you’d like to do that, feel free to contact me directly at 604 248 8856. Maria from Nature’s Path

Hi Rusti - Yes, for a family run, independent company our distribution is far reaching. Your solution to reduce the sugar by blending Flax Plus Pumpkin granola with other cereal types is a great one. We hear what you’re saying about the sweetness levels. Getting the sweetness just right is a constant struggle for our R&D teams. Have you tried our Agave Plus Granola? Your comment about Honey’d Corn Flakes made me giggle. That’s the beauty of making certified organic cereals. Because we do not use synthetic pesticides or herbicides, artificial preservatives, colors or additives, genetically engineered seeds or ingredients, the cereals actually come out tasting like the grains that went into them. Imagine that! Thanks for the suggestion. Maria from Nature’s Path

Hi Patricia- Unfortunately the granola in our Eco Pacs (Flax Plus Pumpkin Granola and Hemp Plus Granola) are not gluten free. However, we do make gluten free cereals that come in Eco Pacs like Mesa Sunrise, Fruit Juice Sweetened Corn Flakes, Gorilla Munch, Koala Crisp, and Peanut Butter Panda Puffs. I hope that helps. Maria from Nature’s Path

Argh! How frustrating. Have you tried our Leapin’ Lemurs? If you like Gorilla Munch and Panda Puffs you’ll love the chocolate and peanut butter combo. Can you do coconut? Pour a little of that on top and it’s sure to bring out the little kid in you! Maria from Nature’s Path

Thanks for the support AND the suggestion, Ruth. We’ll take it into consideration. Maria from Nature’s Path

Hello Anon- When food is certified organic it means that it’s made in a way that complies with organic standards set by our government (USDA in America, COR in Canada). In fact, organic inspectors visit our farms and manufacturing plants to make sure we’re living up to their strict standards. On the contrary, when food manufacturers define food as natural it can mean anything. In other words, the natural designation is not regulated or inspected by a third party like organic is. Under organic production we DO NOT use synthetic pesticides or herbicides, we DO NOT use artificial preservatives or additives, we DO NOT use genetically engineered seeds or ingredients or irradiation (exposure to radiation). It goes beyond that though. Organic food production is good for the soil because it enriches drought resistant soil, it creates less soil erosion, less groundwater pollution and it improves farm biodiversity. Here are some more reasons to support organic food production: • Organic farm practices prevent farmers from being exposed to chemicals. • It keeps harmful pesticides and other toxins off your plate. • It protects water quality because organic farming does not pollute water resources with pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. • It saves energy and resources. • It supports local family growers. Independent farmers are personally invested in the sustainability of their land. • It provides farmers with a living wage, supports responsible development, and preserves open spaces. We’re glad you asked! Maria, from Nature’s Path
