Is the nutritional information listed here accurate? Because I have been purchasing this product for years, and recently the groats I bought listed a different calorie content than what is shown here. It does not bother me, just curious as to why this...

Go with what's listed on the package you have in hand, it should be the most up to date. The listing on Amazon may be older. Sometimes counts change if companies start using a different lab to do calorie testing.

If you want more detailed nutritional information, email Newman's. I've done that on a few occasions and they are quick to respond. I love this company!

Hi...I understand your indecision. It's difficult to make a decision on this type of product.I normally go by the claims, how it is processed, and have a good look at the nutritionallabel information. I've used #1 nutrition krill but not the Now brand. Hope this is helpful!

I recently purchased Nature's Plus Spiru-tein Gold, Banana Berry Blast. I haven't even opened it yet because it is based on Chia Rice and Peas and I am prone to IBS (I'm wary of any product that is lentil based). I usually get the regular Spiru-tein high protein sans the peas, and I loved it. Anyway, according to the label on this can, even though Carbs is at 19g. under sugar it is 0. Mixed with milk it goes up to 11g of sugar. I cannot vouch for its validity, that is just what the label states. But, all in all Spiru-Tein is a wonderful product and a life saver on a busy day. I am mostly concerned with the vitamin and protein rating. Mostly, the protein rating! I recently purchased Nature's Plus Spiru-tein Gold, Banana Berry Blast.

You are right to be suspicious. Sadly, this product is no longer low-carb -- it just has more protein and fiber added. It has 19 total carbs and 16 net carbs. I don't really see much of a benefit here compared to other cereals that are low in sugar. The added protein, fiber and lack of sugar may help some people like diabetics have a somewhat more regular blood sugar and feel full for longer. Also, this cereal is relatively inexpensive and easily found in local grocery stores. But on the other hand, anyone who is helped by this cereal would probably be helped even more by other cereals that are truly low in carb, with more protein and fiber and less grain, gluten, etc. There are a fair number of other truly low-carb cereals (I recommend "Hi-Lo" or Dixie Diner) that are healthier and taste better, though you would probably need to order them online such as through Amazon, and they tend to be a little to a lot more expensive. Hi-Lo is only 1 to 2 dollars more, Dixie Diner a bit more.

yes, the serving size/nutritional info always refers to the dry version in any pasta...it is the only way to keep it controlled...the water intake is variable, and water has no calories anyways.

The company taped their company label over the nutrition section, but I was able to remove the portion about carbs and found the following: 2 pieces contain Total Carbs 2gm (1% DV) There was an asterisk * after the DV, but the rest of the label was stuck on the package. However, if the total carbs are what you need to know, this should help. And, the gum tastes great, too!

From the label: NOW Organic Inulin is a fructooligosaccaride that acts as a prebiotic, stimulating the growth of friendly and healthy intestinal bacteria. It's really good in my book. Prebiotin also has 5 calories per serving; their label says 4 g carbs (v 2.7 g in NOW brand) with the same 5 calories as this. Neat trick or false advertising for Prebiotin? Cost of Prebiotin in maybe three times more. I trust NOW brand; can't say I'd want to switch. Below, SimplyMyOpinion answers one question as follows: For any others who want to know this answer, I asked NOW brands after posting the question on Amazon and they said " Our Organic contains no less than 90% fructooligosaccharides. " so I am going to assume that what is referred to as an inulin subset other places under the names of Oligofructose and/or fructooligosaccharides is one and the same thing. I will therefore assume that the Prebiotin is using that as a marketing ploy since their product is much more expensive unless someone tells me otherwise."

On the very top of the box in the shaded pink area there is a "use by" date. The one I am looking at reflects October 21, 2014. Calories are 520 and Choesterol on the label shows less than 5 mg. It is a carnation product and you can contact the company for questions. Also Rusa ships and their phone number is 800-764-3648

It looks like they are getting this question a lot. I found this website http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Research/New-research-suggests-top-selling-brain-supplement-does-what-it-says-on-the-tin which looks pretty bogus, touting just what you are asking for. I have a feeling researching nutraingredients-usa would take you back to a web hosting company that the makers of FF paid to post this. Just my gut feeling, I'm not going to waste my time digging. Consumer's Report has a reputation for telling it like it is, mostly.

Carbs and calories are truly insignificant, so minor as to not exist. As is the case with vitamins overall. This is not a concern at all.

The ingredient list posted with this listing did not even match that on the bag I got. My bag says bison, lamb meal, chicken meal, sweet potatoes, peas, potatoes, canola oil, egg product, beef, roasted venison ................. the listing label said bison, venison .. I noticed that my dog has been drinking a lot more water so am trying to figure out why. Came on here to see if anyone else is noticing increase thirst ... obviously they have changed the ingredients.

Hi - I am a representative from Miracle Noodle. Thank you for raising this question. We had a printing error on the packaging and it should read "0 Calories". We are aware of the issue and are working to correct this by stickering the product with the correct calorie count. Rest assured that the product you received is 0 calories.

It is odd that oats are not listed which makes me think it is a labeling error. Since MCT is listed first, then that should be the primary ingredient but the fat content is listed at 3.2g per serving while the carb content is much higher at 26.4g. I agree that it would be best to contact the company for an answer. If you do, please let us know what you find out.

I was under the impression they did not use a Sugar sub like Splenda. Splenda is so very bad for us humans ! One more thing I was thinking. It is poor practice to not include all the calories in each bar. Regardless of recipe, amounts vary depending on which flavor you are enjoying. Some folks need and or have to include every calorie they consume, document and be held accountable. Thanks

They have a great website of their own that I would check... and also there is a contact number I think. They are dedicated GF and are more aware of issues in diets than most products. MSG is a tricky one and sometimes a company may not always know the source supplier for ingredients. These bars are great and I am diabetic and GF but not sure of the MSG content. Hope this helps !
