Not McCormick, beware.... BUT (updated review)
939005
I ordered McCormick brand and received a different, unknown to me brand.
I truly believe that if I order a specific brand I should get that brand and not a replacement one, without my previous approval.
I am very, very disappointed, what else can I say as a repeated customer.

UPDATE @ same day...
I received a refund (in full) from Amazon the very same day I reviewed the product since they agreed that the product delivered was NOT the product ordered. I am satisfied now and reassured that Amazon's customer service is very good, best service indeed.

I'm eating a bowl of Original Udon as I write this, one of my last, sadly. After being a loyal customer for years, Annie Chun's has lost me with their new, "improved" flavor. I won't recycle what's been written in recent 1-star reviews, just to add that the new noodles are flat-tasting, in addition to the salty, overly-spicy soup base and awful, AWFUL crumbly, freeze-dried tofu. What I will add is, as soon as I had a taste of the new abomination, I sent an email complaint to info@anniechun.com and waited for a reply. Would it explain this is an experiment, like new Coke? Would it be apologetic? Would it offer coupons to entice my loyalty? No, none of these. The response was terse, implying only that my taste bugs are sadly misinformed. Too bad, it read, because, in the company's infallible opinion, the new flavor is, without a doubt, the most awesome ever. Have they read these reviews? Too bad, because once I can no longer find the Original, I will be a lost customer. Without a doubt.

I LOVE this flavor. I can't find it in the stores anymore. Get it while you can. McCormick, if you're reading this, Don't get rid of this flavor. It's a great balance, not too over the top, & is very versatile.

The main producer changed their recipe and it is terrible now. This is pretty good. I have to tone down mac and cheese by adding meat and veggie, dilute the cheese a bit so my perspective may be a little different than others

The wire whip that we purchased for our KitchenAid (K5SS) mixer is deficient in that the original accessory was made from stainless steel and its dimensions were somewhat larger.  This replacement was the only one that we could find available a few months ago.  (However, there now ARE other units being promoted as stainless steel but we are still trying to determine whether these are compatible for our mixer model.)  The wire whip we originally ordered is promoted as a direct replacement for our specific model mixer, but this is blatantly UNTRUE in that it is not stainless steel and is not quite the right size.

The ordered product&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/KitchenAid-Wire-Whip/dp/B0006HLBPU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">KitchenAid Wire Whip</a>&nbsp;is too small so that it does not quite reach the mixing bowl bottom.  Also, because these units are now subtantially aluminum it is no longer possible to wash them in any automatic dishwasher.  The size problem is clearly a design defect, and the material is inferior to the original.  We therefore recommend that NO ONE BUY ANY OF THESE until and unless better replacement accessories of proper materials (e.g., stainless steel) and size (accurate) are once again made available.  However, if you are not concerned over fit and you do not need stainless steel then you probably would enjoy the relatively low price of this aluminum wire whip.

I ordered this because SAMS no longer carries Tones gravy mix and their replacement, McCormick, contains garlic which I cannot eat due to allergy. I was excited to find this product since Durkees is supposedly the same recipe as Tones. What I received were large,  non-resealable paper pouches of French's gravy mix. No garlic, but the ingredients don't match those in Tones/Durkees. I haven't used it yet but the disappointment experienced by receiving something so totally different from what is pictured and deceptive deserves a low rating.

I am so disappointed! I have used McCormick for years and have never had a problem finding it locally. NONE of the local stores had it and this was my only other short notice substitute. It is AWFUL! I'm so bummed. It is all artificial flavors and none of what you want in good root beer. On top of that - it is CLEAR! Who wants root beer that is clear? If I could give it no stars I would but I felt that I needed to give a warning... :(

Welp. I was duped...sneaky Watkins!
The old with vanilla extract should have clued me in that this is definitely not vanilla extract
I mean, it is exactly what I ordered thats on me. But shame on the advertising/packing. Just say imitation vanilla, then I know what Im getting instead of this beating around the bush.
Wont be buying again.

Ok, look, it's not rice. It's not.
If you go from full-sugar Coke to Diet Coke, is it going to taste like Coke? No, it's not. Not even close.
If you go wheat-free and try to bake something using combinations of coconut flour and almond flour (and whatever else gets recommended to be used with it), is it going to behave in the oven like a wheat-based flour? No, it's not. Not even close.
Will it taste like something baked with a wheat-based flour? No, it's not. Not even close.

Remember that when you are looking for a substitute for rice.
Will it cook exactly like rice? No.
Will it have the texture, feel and taste of rice? No.

So remember that this is what you are choosing when you choose to not use real rice.
Don't blame the product, blame your choice.

Now, having said that... I love this stuff.
I went low-carb a couple of years ago and, minus the occasional slip, I've really tried to just accept that there's certain things I'm not going to have because there are no reasonable facsimiles for them. And where there are, they are usually very expensive (I'm talking to you, low-carb bread.)

Follow the strange rinsing-drying out directions and you've got something that you can use in various recipes as a substitute for real rice.
You want to make a stir-fry? Go for it because this stuff works great. Or, you can semi-cheat: when my wife orders chinese, I skip the rice and use this (yes, there's probably sugar in the sauce but I don't go with the sweet sauces so it's not _that_ bad)) and end up getting far fewer carbs. Also, because this stuff is so filling (eat slow, that full feeling takes a while to come but when it does you will feel super-stuffed if you over do it) I find that my chinese 'single serving meal' can easily turn into 2-3 meals.

I bought a bunch of this and I'm going to try it in other recipes than as a simple mix or side dish.

My only suggestion to the maker is that 2.3 servings per container is ridiculous. Can we go with even numbers? Make it smaller (2) or bigger (3).
Otherwise, great product, easy packaging and instructions.

Great tasting burgers and steaks. Apparently not profitable for McCormick as it no longer is sold in grocery stores

great, service as always, and McCormick Grill Mate speaks for itself "GREAT STUFF"

This review was written in English, then translated into German by Google Translate and then translated back into English also by Google Translate. All typos and errors in syntax are caused by the Google Translate software and are entirely intentional.

Is $240 filled with nonsensical statistics collected by a Web crawler and printed to order to pay too much for a computer-generated "report"? Absolutely not! Anyone interested in the nutmeg, Mace and cardamom trade 2012 Germany will urge to buy this pile of garbage.
So that review section is finished.

I'm now a few personal thoughts on nutmeg, Mace and cardamom to write. Personally I want my nutmeg whole buy and just to rub what I need when I need it. Very tasty, nutmeg is grated over eggnog or Krbiskuchen. Ich use also ginger, cinnamon and a small clove of garlic ground in my pumpkin pie. Interestingly, both nutmeg and Mace are both from the same tree. Nutmeg is the seed of the tree, while Mace is the dried covering of the seed. An important fact is, that in Scotland, Mace and nutmeg two main components of haggis. Cardamom is a small seed pod from a plant in the ginger family. I like to a seed or two green cardamom chew after eating at an Indian restaurant, as it eliminates "Curry Breath."

AND, one final edit...Amazon answered my email and apparently the original product is no longer sold, so the ASIN was re-assigned.  Just kind of strange that numbers are recycled and the product is in the same generic category (ie Japanese snack foods).

WELL IT WON'T BE THIS BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN AMAZON HAS ALLOWED A SELLER TO SWITCH PRODUCTS BUT KEEP A REVIEW!!!!!  This review was originally written for the chocolate cololn, a delicious little sweet, not a pretzel.  Unbelievable how ludicrous it is that Ammy let's it's vendors use a good review under another product.  So guess what Pretz, this is a review for a chocolate treat adn your nice salad flavored biscuits rate a zero on the chocolate scale.  One star for you.

______________My original review (FOR CHOCOLATE COLLONS):

called a colon (oops, I mean collon), well this is it!  Seriously though, I ordered these because, well, it's funny and the chocolate ones were not available (and those are REALLY funny).  I love the chocolate ones and wasn't really expecting much from the cafe au lait flavor.  Turns out these were super yummy--very sweet and much tastier than I was expecting.  I think I'd choose these over the chocolate ones from now on, which is saying a lot.

Unexpectedly, Highly Recommended, and not just for the funny factor!

I added this to my Atkins diet choices and loved it. However, today I decided to try the linguine that I'd just purchased via Subscribe & Save (10 boxes for $29.02). While it was cooking, I thought I'd better make sure that the linguine only had 5g of digestible carbs too, since I had only had the rotini and the lasagna in the past. So I looked at the box, and where previously it used to say something like, "41g carbohydrates, less 36g indigestible carbohydrates, 5g net carbs," there was absolutely nothing. Simply 41g carbs in the nutrition info box. So I asked the internet, and it turns out that the claims related to indigestible carbs were a bunch of hooey. Dreamfields settled a class action lawsuit on the matter earlier this year.

It's unsettling that this happened months ago and I was entirely unaware of it. Somehow the news story missed my radar entirely. Or it was "underreported," as those savvy marketing folks would say.

Don't eat this is if you're trying to do Atkins. One serving is 2 days worth of carbs (at least in Phase I.)

UPDATE 11/29/17: so in order not to waste this expensive product I used a partial scoop to mitigate the sweetness. However, my jar now has now produced non-vegan proteinmaggots! Ugh! Im not kidding. Ive only used about five servings before these hatched inside the jar. This is really bad people. I don't know where this product is being manufactured, but buyer beware!!! This truly trumps my previous review. See pics taken this morning.

Original review:  At first sip, it was overpowering sweetness. I don't eat sugar and try to avoid more than a drop full of the stevia at a time. The texture and taste otherwise are whats expected from a pea-based powder, but a full 10 minutes later I still cant get the aftertaste of the stevia and fake cherry out of my mouth! Every time I walk past the sink where I opened the stuff, I can smell the stevia. The seal was also punctured as others noted. I bet it was done by the manufacturer to release the unnatural smell of this stuff. I immediately cancelled my subscription to this product. Back to looking for a truly sweetener-free protein powder. This is a massive fail.

My senior 80 lb Chow mix has had longtime allergy problems. Narrowed it down to Chicken being a problem. Must be 90-95% of dog food contains chicken as a primary ingredient.
I wanted to stick with grain free also. Had been using the Merrick grain free beef but opted to give him a change and try this duck and sweet potato. Bag is already gone and no allergy issues. I will be buying again.

UPDATE. Well I guess I must retract that buying again statement. Thanks to a comment posted by Bryan about my review it looks like Merrick changed the formula adding chicken. His dog had an allergic reaction and figured out according to Merricks website this flavor now contains deboned chicken.
I will no longer buy this. So the old formula I woukd give 5 stars now with the change I would give Merrick a zero for doing so. I can't rate the new one because it is not worth risking my boys health. But I will change my review to 1 star because what is being sold is not what I was reviewing now.
Shame on Merrick presenting this to be the same product.

Before making this purchase, I scoured the internet looking for a breakdown of the ingredients. I found nothing, even on Hartz's own website, that resembled a list of ingredients for this particular product. However, I had the ingredients for other Wardley algae products, the Spirulina Discs and Premium Algae Discs. Despite employing product splitting (dividing, for example, corn into corn gluten feed, corn gluten meal, and corn distiller's dried grains to push corn further down the list), these products all had algae or spirulina listed as the #1 ingredient, as it should be for something marketed as an "algae disc." Not so for this product, which in addition to being erroneously called an "all vegetable fish food" (contains fish meal, unlike the premium algae discs. One could also argue that wheat and yeast are not exactly vegetables, but I'll be generous), is marketed as an Advanced Nutrition line and sold at a higher price than the premium algae discs. It is easy to be mislead by the packaging and price into believing that this product would be made with higher quality ingredients than similar products by the same manufacturer, but don't be fooled like I was. It seems that the higher price tag is justified solely by a higher protein content (40% vs 32%), not difficult when you are using 90%+ protein fillers such as soy protein isolate. For loricariids who are used to a diet much higher in fiber than 2%, more protein is just a spin-friendly way of saying more nitrates, which of course means more water changes. For those who are interested, I'm including the list of ingredients below:

Whole wheat, wheat middlings, wheat flour, dehulled soybean meal, corn gluten meal, fish meal, wheat gluten meal, brewer's dried yeast, soy protein isolate, ground dried spirulina (this is the only worthwhile ingredient in the list, coming in at #10), fish oil, soybean oil, L-Ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate, inositol, vitamin E supplement, Ethoxyquin (this stuff is actually toxic to fish, but expect to see it in nearly all commercial fish foods, as a preservative), niacin supplement, ferrous sulfate, biotin, manganese sulfate, zinc sulfate, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine mononitrate, menadione sodium bisulfate complex (synthetic vitamin K, known to be toxic in high doses. Feed sparingly!), copper sulfate, sodium selenate, vitamin A supplement, folic acid, ethylenediamine dihydriodide, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin B12 supplement, cobalt proteinate.

GA:
Crude protein (min): 40%
Crude fiber (max): 2%
Crude fat (min): 3%
Arginine (min): 1.6%
Histidine (min) 0.6%
Moisture (max): 10%
Ascorbic acid (min): 200mg/kg

It's not all bad though. This product really does have an incredible amount of protein in it for the price, and there is no harm in feeding it as part of a balanced diet including leafy green vegetables, shelled peas, and courgette. As a staple however, it falls short of wardley's other products targeted at algae eaters. If I could rate in half stars, this would be 2.5. Not awful, but not what I was expecting.
