Naturade Vegan Smart Nutritional Shake on Amazon (Jan 2017)

I ordered the Naurade Vegan Smart All-in-one Nutritional Shake, Vanilla, 22.8 oz on Jan 5th, 2017 through Amazon. It was through the 3rd party vendor Nutrition Depot.

This product was recommended on this forum and I though I'd give it a try. The label on Amazon didn't have any mention of gluten ingredients, not processed in a facility with wheat, and was listed as gluten free. 

I received the product on Jan 16th, read the label, and saw that it was manufactured in a facility that also processes wheat.

I contacted Amazon today (1/17/17) and they are putting through a return request through the vendor since the product wasn't what was listed on the website.

Amazon grocery items show up as non-refundable, but Amazon was great about this. If you have an issue with an Amazon non-refundable item, I suggest you contact their customer service department. The woman I spoke with was great. She is putting through a refund request to the vendor. I also asked her to contact the vendor about the labeling issue, and she said that the label should have been the same as what's listed on the website per Amazon policy and she would contact them to get it changed.

UPDATE

I was contacted by the vendor by email stating that I could return the product for a full refund, but I would have to pay for the return shipping. I emailed them stating that the product they sent me was different than the product advertised on the website and included screen shots and pictures of the product. I also stated that I had celiac disease and the product they sent me would make me seriously ill. I asked that they pay for shipping since I cannot use their product and it was misrepresented on the website when I bought it.

The vendor emailed me back that I don't have to return the product, and I received a full refund. Now to unload the stuff on a non-celiac.

 Place where some of us list what we take, I like to stick to MRM Veggie elite, veggie blend shake, and the low carb meal replacement, Textures not the best but great and safe, and Nutra-Key V-Pro is one of the smoothest shakes I have found. Jarrow has alot of options also.  I have tried one orgain vegan protein shake that worked well. I have also been told of a celiac formulated shake by pioneer labs, contains a bit of soy letchin and I have been hesitant to try it,

@Ennis_TX - Thanks! I'll have to try something else. I ordered the product and got another one that listed it was manufactured in a facility that also manufactures wheat.

UPDATE

I'm 0 for 3. 

Order #1 from Amazon Vendor: Website lists no wheat. Received product that listed it was manufactured in a facility that also manufactures wheat. Took a while, but vendor refunded my money and didn't ask for me to return the product. (Thought maybe it was an old batch I got with an outdated label)

Order #2 from Amazon directly: Contacted Amazon and they said their website reflects the actual product they send out. Website lists no wheat. Received product that listed it was manufactured in a facility that also manufactures wheat. Amazon returns are pretty easy; refunded my money and didn't ask for me to return the product.

Order #1 from Naturade.com: Website lists no wheat. Received product that listed it was manufactured in a facility that also manufactures wheat. Called for a refund and was transferred to the manager. She gave me a hard time stating that the product was safe and I could use it. She kept saying that they advertise the product in a celiac magazine and wouldn't do that if it wasn't safe. I asked her to change her website since it doesn't reflect the product that is mailed to consumers. I also told her that I'm not willing to risk my health to try the product that lists wheat on a package. After a lot of talking, she agreed to refund my money and will pay for return shipping.

Just had this same argument with a soup company, claims gluten free, got it, small print, "Not made in a gluten free facility".  OK what does that mean, looked it up company also makes a roasted barley soup.....yeah no thanks. It's a medical requirement not a health fad.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
