Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought a box of these bars as an organic alternative to the usual Joyva sesame snaps that I buy. The date syrup also seemed like a good alternative to sugar and HFCS.
However, when I received the box of sesame bars I was dismayed to realize that the bars are mostly syrup (over 75%)!!
Regardless of the organic ingredients and alternative sweeteners, these are much less healthy than I thought - they're basically sugar with a few sesame seeds thrown in - and they taste that way.
On the Amazon website it lists the ingredients for these Oskri bars as:
Organic Sesame Seeds (49%), Organic Date Syrup (26%), Organic Brown Rice Syrup (25%).
The ACTUAL ingredient list on the package is:
Rice Syrup, Sesame Seeds (23.5%), Date Syrup (12%)
I realize that Amazon has a disclaimer about ingredient lists, but this is a real disappointment!
I would argue that the packaging is really misleading - these aren't sesame bars with date syrup, but rice syrup bars with sesame seeds and only 12% date syrup! I expected a quality product and feel like I vastly overpaid.
Looking at the original (Amazon) ingredient list, I assume that Oskri changed its ingredients to cut costs, but whatever the reason these are neither a good deal, healthy or delicious.
UPDATE:
After writing this review, I checked out Oskri's website and the box that the bars came in - BOTH the website and the box had the old ingredient list (49% sesame seeds) - it was only the bar wrapper that showed the true ingredients of the bar.
Then, I contacted Oskri about the ingredient list issue and the fact that my sesame bars had far fewer sesame seeds than I paid for. I received a very unsatisfactory form email in return - and nothing in response to a second email.
BOTTOM LINE: Do not buy products from Oskri - they seem to have no problem (a) making inferior products and (b) misleading people into buying them and then (c) providing unsatisfactory customer service.
Basically - I wouldn't trust any of their other products to contain the ingredient formulations advertised.
