Not a fan of the change

Definitely way less sugar in the new recipe. I likely could have adapted to a gradual reduction in sugar. Long time purchaser @ 69 yrs. of age.

Tooo Salty

New April 2026 formula?? The salt content is through the charts and tastes like, salt. Didn't use to be like that. Disgusting

It's awful now

I'm so sad you changed your recipe. I couldn't even finish one packet and then tossed the whole box. It tastes awful. Please bring back the original as an option.

Cannot believe they added Stevia. Gross.

I have eaten maple brown sugar (SUGAR) oatmeal for a long time, mostly every day. I bought another box while out of town a few weeks ago and noticed the aftertaste was weird. I had been having headaches almost every day and decided to look at the box today. I guess I didn't notice that it said Quaker Instant Oatmeal "Fiber & Protein" on the box. This has Stevia in it. Stevia gives me headaches and has a terrible aftertaste. I'll have to hand it to you, Quaker, I didn't notice too much of an aftertaste for a few days, but today it was truly noticed. Now, my headaches are totally understood. Why in the world would you do this? I guess I will check all of the boxes/items I pick up from now on. Use real sugar then headaches and aftertaste won't be a problem.

I think I'm the only one who can taste the differe

What can I say, So they improved the recipe to make it healthier and well it taste worst, but isn't that the trade off, health food usually is bland and weird texture, that's why I choose junk food, but you can't have it both ways so I will adjust to the new taste and texture it's not horrible just different I am glad it's healthier. Nice to see a company try to improve.

Brown sugar dried up and stuck to the pouch!

Not sure why, but every box I've bought at Sams , the brown sugar is dried onto the inside of the bag making it hard to get out, I've bought several boxs at my grocery store and the brown sugar is not dried up and stuck to the pouch. Not sure why this is, but I won't buy in club again. I got 2 box's of 40 to struggle with this issue. The expiration date was good do not sure why these appear to be old.

TERRIBLE

TERRIBLE! Too sweet. What are the ingredients/chemical composition of ADDED SUGARS? Is Sugar Alcohol an ingredient of regular maple brown sugar? DISAPOINTED. The new formula does NOT even deserved 1 star - I would have rated it ZERO. I was a loyal customer of the product 50 years & I will never purchase it again.

Yuck

This had been my breakfast meal for years but no more. After increasing the microwave cook time it still seems undercooked and is like eating flavorless, indigestible wet cardboard. The sweetner is awful and sticks to the inside of the packet requiring manual removal. I guess I'll add Quaker Oats to the growing list of companies trying to fix things that weren't broken.

Shrinkflation

Your shrinkflation is out of control. You are putting so little oatmeal in the packets that the cooking directions are no longer accurate. The 2/3 of a cup fill line on the packets isn't even accurate anymore. I just used a measuring cup to validate this. It actually only holds 1/2 of liquid up to the line. And when you add only 1/2 cup, the oatmeal still doesn't thicken up after more than 2 minutes of microwaving, indicating there is very little actual oatmeal in the packets.
