It may be the drought, it may be that cherries are out of season now. I bought fresh cherried in Travers City, Michigan at a farm stand last week and they were terrible.I should have known better, only one farm stand had cherries and they definitely had been stored a while. Peaches and blackberries were in season.

I'm a subscribe and save buyer..I depend upon Tart Cherries for my arthritis - perhaps the quality has been affected by the terrible season they've had this year. The price has skyrocketed from $18 to $25 to now $35 - ouch!!http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/tart-cherry-crop-midwest-destroyed-weather-16768430#.UARZCEh2M5Y

I personally didn't know the formula changed. I subscribe to it maybe every 3 months or so. And had a doubled up order awhile back. And so I haven't gotten a new one yet. Maybe that'll be obvious? If the "flavor" is off or it gets the white crustyness I'll have to look

It's pretty tart .. I tried mixing it in yogurt but it definitely altered the taste. I now just mix it in water

I bought the 2lb container from my local Sprouts store, they had previously carried the ones with stevia. I checked the label 4 times looking for it and it wasn't there. Brought it home and opened it and it was back to its normal fantastic chocolatey un-sickly sweet self. Can't say that this distributor has changed or moved all the stevia products yet, but Spirutein has heard the complaints and has responded with the old formula.

Yes, they are different. Can't put a finger on it, put would say they don't hold up to crispy and fresh as before. I also noted the supply isn't readily accessible as in past as well as the 'Low Sodium' box. Is this a distribution issue or is it discontinued?

The shipment of this same flavor was fine the previous month. I had never experienced a problem before this batch. So, yes, it was a recent change. I did not notice the smell. It was the consistency that was the cause for my concern. I hope this answered your question.

They are the second hand Red Cherries. The ones that the mate did not match up with. so they took all of them and made what you have now, which are Red Cherry but just what they call the mixed matched or like in clothes missed stitched lines

No idea, man. I haven't purchased from Food-to-Live since late December, and they were awful. Bitter, acrid taste. Almost rotten. Definitely washed. Recent reviews report the same thing, so I'd be wary.

hey there patrick, not being funny but what you see is what you get!!! if memory serves me correctly, there is no grape..you get licorice, orange, fruit (strawberry, cherry) lime and the yellow really doesn't taste like anything. so basically the colors are the flavors you are getting..hope this helps you..peace

I agree, I used to love the taste of the raspberry. I checked the new label against an old packet, and the new and improved contains stevia. I'm so disappointed in the new flavor. I won't be purchasing this product anymore.

I did not order Montmorency from Amazon, I simply ordered "tart cherries, sugar-free." What might be helpful is that the cherries I received look very uniform, not at all like a mix of tart cherries.

I LOVE the old raspberry- the 'new and improved' flavor is awful. It is way too sweet and now has a sweetner wang to it I camnot stand. I think their test market must have been a bunch of 12 year olds. I have given it to several friends to try and no one so far has liked it. Please write to Alacer to tell them how you feel!

My last order came as 'natural flavored'. I've just ordered another bottle but it won't arrive until after the first of December. It did not give me an option of flavor when I ordered and didn't realize it came flavored. I understood from the vet that it was tasteless to the cat mixed with the wet food so hopefully it will come just as natural flavored.

I'm sorry. I just don't know. I was really disgusted with the product overall. Nothing like the bottle I purchased 10 years ago. I find new and improved usually translates to cheaper to produce so more profit to manufacturer. Consumers are on losing end of products that were great to begin with in my experience.

I too, hate the change. We used to enjoy a box a week, they were a substantial cracker, strong enough for stiff spreads & peanut butter, with decent nutritional value & nice nutty taste. Unless they revert back, we'll never buy them again - now they are NOT substantial but crumbly, and taste dough-ey and weird, white, uncooked taste. PLEASE call them to complain - they will open a Ticket, which I have to trust goes to mgmt.

No when I received the cordial cherrys they were packaged fine. No smushed cherries. Enjoy
