Before the expiration date the bars all moldy. Horrible blue. What a waste of money. Will not buy from this seller ever again.

I used to LOVE Quest Bars and ate one a day. They were a perfect post-workout snack with a lot of protein. One day I purchased a new box of bars thinking they were the same recipe because there was no difference in the label stating "new formula", "new ingredients", or "new and improved". Unfortunately, the company had changed the bars to include soluble corn fiber, to which I am allergic. Completely unaware of the modification, I ate one only to have major stomach cramps, etc. It was only when I looked at the ingredient list that I realized the recipe changed.

When I contacted Quest regarding the new recipe with no difference in the label, they were unapologetic and actually encouraged me to give it another try. Seriously? You are telling me to try a product containing allergens I am allergic to. I understand most people can probably eat corn, but the company's response was insulting and demonstrated their lack of concern for loyal customers. I will never purchase another product from Quest Nutrition.

I got really excited when I heard there was a new flavor of Quest Bar. (I have tried most, but not all, of the existing flavors.) I was somewhat less excited when I heard this was a fruity flavor, as I am not much of a fan of the Quest Bars that have berry flavors in them. For some reason, those typically don't work as well for me. But, I figured, I could make myself eat a whole box of them and then just never order again if there was an issue.

Anyway, I had a bunch of calories left over last night (I am counting calories this year) so I tried one. And it was actually quite good. Definitely the best berry flavored Quest Bar I've tried (I wouldn't say the best "fruity" one because the banana nut ones are still better, at least in my opinion). (These have 190 calories per bar, for what it's worth.) The berry flavor was relatively subtle and there was a definite "muffin" background to the flavor, as well.

Texture-wise, this was great. It was softer than some of the other Quest Bar flavors I've tried lately (like the pumpkin pie one that was far too chewy) but not sticky, and it had some inclusions, for lack of a better word (blueberry-colored bits and such), so the texture wasn't 100% homogeneous.

You can see the full ingredients list if you zoom in on the product images. This has dairy-based ingredients so it is not vegan. Please note it also contains tree nuts (almonds) It has an incredible amount of protein (21g) and fiber (14g) and is very low in sugar (I don't do the whole "net carbs" thing, but if you do, you can check out the nutrition facts panel, which is also available in the product images). It also has some fat (only 6g). I love that there are both protein AND fiber in these; so many bars have protein but lack the fiber. I tend to just use these for snacks, but if you were so inclined, these would actually make a respectable breakfast if you are in a hurry (perhaps paired with some yogurt to add a few more calories and some fat).

I went into eating these expecting to not be "wowed," but I actually think I will incorporate this flavor into my regular ordering rotation.

I have had these just over a month, and today, I was half into a bar when I unwrapped the other half there is Mold on the product. This was my first purchase of this product, under recommendation of some friends that are fitness friends. I have only 4 bars left, but wanted to alert the company for the Lot number incase there was a production issue.

I used to eat 1-2 quest bars per day. I did it for almost 2 years. I stopped for a few months because they were too expensive. Then I bought a box a couple of months ago. Around the same time I started experiencing horrible stomach cramps and bloating. It took me a while to make the connection between the quest bars and the stomach problems, because I had eaten them for so long without any issues. I actually thought maybe I was pregnant, or had an intestinal infection. Then I stopped eating hem for a week and I lost 4.5 lb pounds that I had gained in the past couple of months 5 days after I stopped eating the quest bars, and all the symptoms went away. Whatever changed in the formula for quest bars was a serious mistake. It nade me feel so ill that now I'm scared to eat any sort of protein bar.
