No Longer Eatable

I recently purchases a box with the expiration date 03 Feb 2026. They are uneatable. There is a horrid after taste. The taste reminds me of acid reflux. There is something very wrong with these.

Recipe change - no longer enjoyable!

I used to love these protein bars, they were my go to postpartum. They must have changed the recipe recently because this latest box tasts tastes really artificial and I can barely eat them anymore. Very sad as they were a really affordable delicious choice and now they aren't worth it for the fake protein taste.

Something changed. No longer buying.

I have been purchasing these snack bars since I was pregnant with my oldest son who is now 11. It was recommended by my dietitian from the hospital due to my diet restrictions and I thought they were delicious. There has been a recent change in the flavor and I will no longer buy them. They taste gross and chemically. I even purchase another box to double check I didnt get a bad batch. Its truly sad because I basically ate one a day. Whatever was changed in the ingredients has ruined something great. I hope they change it back.

Taste Bad now.

I have been eating these bars for years. Recently they taste really bad. I thought it was a couple of bad batches but now. I think something has changed I can’t eat them anymore without almost vomiting. So. I will no longer be buying these and will look to find a different source of quick protein for my mornings Mine has a best if used by date of 10JAN2026HN12:35 3A Also. Not a fan of waisting money.

bioengineered ingredients

These are not bad. I will finish this box I have... I don't like that the individual packaged bars says it contains bioengineered ingredients but it says nothing on the website about it. I'd like to be able to choose if I want bioengineered materials in my food prior to buying, but unfortunately they aren't posting it, just have it on the wrappers. I have them in a snack bar area, so not sure if it's written on the box also, but definitely the wrappers.

reply from Published by General Mills

Foods often contain genetically modified/bioengineered (BE) ingredients in the U.S. Many of our products do as well. Bioengineered seeds have been approved by global food safety agencies and widely used by farmers for almost 20 years. If a food or beverage product lists corn, soy, canola, cottonseed or beet sugar as an ingredient and the product is not organic, it likely contains BE ingredients. In the U.S., the U.S. Department of Agriculture has created rules for how food packages should be labeled so that you know if they contain BE foods or ingredients. At General Mills, we use the allowed text under the rule. As a result, some of our food produced in the U.S. will now have a statement on pack like “Contains a bioengineered food ingredient” based on the product formula. If you are looking to avoid BE ingredients, you can check out our many brands that offer organic and non-GMO foods including Annie’s, Cascadian Farm, Liberté, Lärabar, and Muir Glen.

Total Ripoff

Imagine my surprise when I opened my most recent box of these bars finding it just a little over half full. I suppose this company thinks that we wouldn’t notice way less product for way more money. Definitely not worth the price. I have kept these on hand for me and my family for years. No more! Fool me once Nature Valley. Without a refund, you won’t fool me again! Also, this site wouldn’t allow me to post an image.

Change in Taste

I used to grab the bars on the go every morning. I bought 2 more boxes and noticed something tasted off. Thought I was just eh box so I opened the next box and same thing. I saw some of the reviews from others and they agree. Whatever has changed in the recipe it was not a good change. I don’t think I can continue buying these, as they taste like they’re sour or spoiled now every time I eat one.

Disappointed by the recent change

I’ve bought these bars for years in a large quantities at Sam’s Club. They’d become a staple as a quick breakfast or snack on the go. Something has went wrong. The bars have shrunk… a lot. They don’t taste the same & I’ll be looking for a replacement from another brand. Not sure why you changed something that was perfect the way it was.

Had some protein, the nature, valley way

A fantastic delicious substitute for the normally low protein, high calorie granola bars
