Does anyone know color this is supposed to be? White on package photo, but realized while eating it was an odd color. And are the white flecks normal?

The white flecks are not supposed to be in the milk.It's old and send it back.

I did have white flecks in another brand and it had a bad taste.Maybe it went bad. I didn't drink the other brand. The only flecks Ive ever seen in pacific original hemp milk were brown/black. Ground up seeds.

It probably settled. What does the expiration date say? I love hemp milk, it does have a long shelf life, make sure you shake it up good! Make sure the carton was totally sealed, and no air got in. Should be cream colored. Susan

i was using tempt hemp milk until i realized it has carrageenan in it. if you see white flakes, don't drink it. i had 2 from my last case wherein no matter how much you shook it it never turned into white milk. it was yellowish and has white floating in it. i am going to try this pacific brand next. apparently unsweetened has the carrageenan in it.

I've been drinking this over 2 years and have never had white flecks, brown/black yes. Its an off while/cream color. I did get a different brand of hemp milk and it had white flecks in it and it tastes horrible. I ended up feeding it to the bears. I drink the original hemp, not the vanilla flavored. Hope this helps.

Could someone upload a picture how the package is supposed to look on the inside. Mine looks like there is a couple of empty spots in the plastic molding but can not find a picture to reference it. Thanks!

I have purchased this product for several years and I always recall the package to be green in hue. The last shipment was green in color and the last time I checked at WholeFoods it was also green. Maybe, if yours came in a different package color there might of been an issue with the printing? Is it the same photo and product?

i agree with Deb Ehster's response to the question mine were an off white, sort of yellowish color as well and were/are very potent! i have high mineral content well water, and have to avoid adding more minerals, just organic sucanat sugar and my well water and they more than double every day, i've ended up eating a lot of them as well and am not going to share with my friends and family.

I don't have a bottle here right now. I'm waiting for my next order. I think there may have been some changes to the packaging. I believe my last bottle was white though. The capsules are greyish.

I ordered white and it is white, not sure if oyster is another optional color, the pic makes it look off white

This normal. Most of the reviews complain of it, but read the packaging. It suppose to be covered in the white flaky film. I shake mine over the garbage can and get rid of the excess white flakes. No mess!

Sorry, mine was white and I would gladly have given it to you, but I gave the dish to a granddaughter who really loves it. i know what you are going through. I loved my round one and the same thing happened. The lid was dropped and broke. After much searching online I bought another round one that is even better than the original one after trying the boat type which I did not like because the lid was so hard to grasp - thus away it went.Good luck.

Nope it is white! The consistency and taste are kind of similar to powdered sugar.

To be honest , these were a good flake , but with that said I do believe { I eat them too } .. What I find odd is some are more salty or more crispy , I really like , but agree there is salt , or their bonito is too salty naturally..!!

If you're not using filtered water, it could be little white calcified flakes (lime scale) from the water. I used to get that when I used tap water. Nasty feeling if you accidentally get them in tea and swallow them. If you think this is the problem, add vinegar and boil it, then wash thoroughly; ideal if you only use filtered water after that (makes better tea/coffee anyway).

Mine is also pearly white and it doesn't seem as effective! I am very disappointed. Why do they always change things that work? Very frustrated!

I was hesitant as well but it is definitely white. Not off white or cream. White like a crayon!!

Mine has a little bit of a funny smell but it is normal, not off putting it is also very light in color. If you feel yours is truly bad then I would call the company you received it from. Did you purchase from the same company? It may vary from company to company. I'm just a customer. Its my first time using it so I am not a expert in this field.

The response I got from NOW Foods on this issue: No Worry. This is a concentrated extract. Some of the new material is very light. A natural variance and within our specification reflective of a higher concentration in the original material. We've tested and confirmed the lighter color product for identity, purity, and potency.

This is the response I got from the Red Oval Farms folks. They are sending me a coupon as reimbursement. Perhaps you can contact them as well. I bought my crackers from Kroger in Ohio, but it seems with all the comments that the distribution of this problem is not local. We appreciate you taking the time to visit us at http://www.snackworks.com/ and for letting us know about your experience. I'm sorry to hear that your RED OVAL FARMS Stoned Wheat Thins do not taste the same,and have more air in them. The differences you noted may be due to a change in the production facility and process in which we make the cracker. We have not reformulated the recipe, but we have changed the way we make the cracker. We will make sure our Quality team are aware of your comments, so they can address these issues with the production plant The problem you described sounds like the product was not properly stored during distribution. We take care at our manufacturing facilities to ensure that our products are stored at the correct temperature and time frame until we are able to distribute them. Once our products are in distribution, the storage is out of our control. If the product was exposed to excessive temperatures it could cause the problem you described. Again, I apologize for this experience. Thank you for your loyalty and we hope that your next experience is a good one. Adele Stapley Operations Manager
