I'm so disappointed in the Old Fashioned Quaker Oats. I just bought a new box. They are tough, hard, never soften. I even soak them in water for 5-10min before I cook them on the stove and they are still tough to chew. I appears I'm not the only one. I will be returning the box to the store. Don't know why the sudden change in quality but I hope Quaker Oats is looking into what's changed. They say it hasn't changed but they have not eaten the product we buy. I've been a customer for years and the last year or so have oatmeal every morning I go through a lot of oatmeal. This box was a dramatic change for the worse. Expiration date is 3/2027 and this is Nov 2025

After making oatmeal for 50 year using Quaker Old Fashioned Oats, I must find a replacement product. The changes Quaker has made to this product make the product worthless. I'll watch for Quaker to make an announcement acknowledging this mistake and announcing a return to original processing - then maybe I'll come back.

I would leave minus stars if I could. My husband says the change is so dramatic he wondered if our microwave was broken. The oats are watery and will nit absorb moisture regardless of the cooking time. Texture and taste are both different than in years past. We have been eating the old fashioned oats for years so we can definitely tell they are different. After reading these reviews he knows it isn't the microwave, or him. He says he will not buy these again.

This is a great product at an excellent price, and it is one of the main reasons I renewed my Sam's Club membership this year. Unfortunately, Sam's is no longer selling the Quaker Old Fashioned Oats in their local clubs; instead they are now selling the Quaker Quick One Minute Oats and raised the price by five dollars to $12.98.

I love the product and I have been buying it for years but this last purchase was very disappointing because the security seal was broken and makes me doubt about how safe the product is. I didn't wanted to make a trip back to the store and request a change but definitely is something that needs to be addressed.

I have eaten this product at breakfast for years. Per the above star ratings, it tastes good and has many pluses. The problem. I just discovered that most oatmeal brands contain glyphosate (think Roundup) and Quaker products have some of the highest levels. That's unacceptable.

Tastes the same as when we were young, except now we no longer sweeten it...just add fruit & cinnamon. If they have made changes to their formula, so be it. As long as that change is not a detriment to our health or the environment. For those complaining about their 1st world problem; You should note that the label will show either "whole grain ROLLED oats" or just "whole grain oats". That makes a difference in the cooking results.t matter.

Been eating every morning for the past 4 years and something changed. They are either thicker and or steamed less than before because my cooking method has not changed. They are chewy and do not absorb the water used in cooking and I have not changed the cooking method. Tried using less water and longer cooking time to no avail. Will have to look for a different brand.

I like to have this topped with fruit. It's like having dessert for breakfast. I do wish you would modify your microwave cooking instructions. When using today's modern microwaves cooking on High for 3 minutes causes a boil over and a mess. Can you give instructions for microwaving with today's higher wattage microwaves which cook much faster.

I love oatmeal and this size is such a great bargain.
