 Tasty, but you should know they are produced in China Sep 20, 2009
By A. Haase
Country of origin is part of my decision making process. I am posting this for others who may have similar concerns.

 Made in China and bad for the planet Sep 28, 2009
By D. Burgeson
"foodie"
I loved the taste of this product but just noticed they are made in China. I contacted the company to get more information. They said they test for quality but in fact the list they gave me was for bacterial contaminants only. They do not test for lead or other heavy metals, just salmonella, aflatoxin and microbiological testing. And they do not own the factory, they just contract out the production and inspect the factory.
As for the ingredients, some of them are from China, such as the malt syrup. And the US ingredients are shipped all the way to China, the product is made, then it is shipped all the way back. This was to cut costs according to a business journal report on the company. I hate to see what the carbon production is for each bar based on that practice. And for the price they sell the product for, which is quite expensive, this way of saving a buck speaks poorly to the company's ethics. I for one will no longer buy this product.

In a crowded market, there are better choices out there... Jul 13, 2009
By mattv
I picked up a case of these at costco because I was curious. they were a great price, and the ingredient list looked good. My first impressions were that they were Waaaay too hard and crunchy - I felt like I might break a tooth on these things! But maybe someone younger would not worry so much about that :). My second concern was when I read the small print that these are manufactured in China...not so good in my book. As everyone has seen, in recent years china's foodchain has had some tremendous snafus and quality control issues, which I doubt are resolved yet. I also am weary to support a company that would ship snack bars all the way from china to save a few cents on each. Currently I'm using both "Bora Bora" bars and "Oskri" mixed nut bars, which I think are both much better quality (and much easier on my teeth, and organic, and made in North America, blah blah blah). But these will cost you some more. Bottom line, if you don't fall in love with these, or you share my concerns about China's quality control on basic food ingredients, then just shop around...

PRODUCT OF CHINA!!!!!!! Jan 29, 2010
By C. staskieiwcz
I was really starting to like this brand and food until I just read it's a product of China. Why? It's bad enough almost every nonfood item is made there but our food? Never will I buy again, amazon should disclose this info.

Won't buy again. Product of China, went bad before delivery. Dec 11, 2009
By Florida Mom
Purchased two boxes in the past. Latest order tasted very different and was stale (kind of had a moldy taste but no visible mold). Called Mrs. May's and they said there was nothing they could do about it. These are a product of China and the bars tasted really different like they had bad ingredients or had gone bad. Mrs. May's representative was not concerned and treated me like I was trying to scam them. Great product idea but I won't be buying any of their products in the future. Read the label and consume at your own risk.
