Thank you for posting this.

Does that mean that the Mesa Sunrise cereal sold in the US is safe or not? The ones sold here are also 300 grams, but they don't have a best-before date or anything labeled as a batch #.

This is frustrating--it's my favorite cereal!!

I emailed the company. This is their answer:

"Thank you for your email.

This is currently only isolated to Mesa Sunrise product in the UK with the code date of 12MAY07 to 14MAY07. It is different cereal then that made for the U.S. market.

The batch # is the same as the freshness date located on the back of the bag upper right hand corner.

We do make other cereals that contain gluten. However, our strict production schedules and quality assurance methods ensure that the least allergenic foods are produced first. The products that contain gluten, soy and finally nuts are made and then the entire line is cleaned and the process re-starts. The equipment is periodically inspected & tested for gluten contamination.

At Nature's Path we have an extensive planning and cleaning schedule for all our production facilities in order to prevent any cross contamination of our products with non-declared ingredients. All of our products that do not contain nuts or soy or dairy

Well damned if I can find any batch # or best Before on my box or bag.

Better let 'the gluten eaters' have it.

<_< The hunt is on for another cereal that coeliac son likes <_<

I couldn't find the batch number on my bag either. In their response to me, the company said it is on the back of the bag, upper right hand corner. Sure enough, I found it there -- but I never would have seen it if I didn't know where precisely to look. The ink they use doesn't have much of a contrast.

The problem seems to be with only that one batch. If you can't find your batch number (maybe in the UK product they put it in a different location), email the company. I swear they answered me about 15 minutes after I emailed. They must be getting lots of these questions :lol:

Does this cereal taste sugary or sweet? I've been eating the Honey'd Corn Flakes which have the same amount of sugar, it tastes fine. I was thinking of trying Mesa Sunrise but it seems more healthier with all the ancient grains, I am worried it will taste like dirt.

I like the flavor. It is not overly sweet, though. The predominant flavor seems to be corn, but the flakes are more substantial than regular corn flakes.

Of course, taste is very individual. If you don't find it sweet enough, you can always add some fruit (nice in any event) and/or a spoonful of sugar.

I love these particularly because they're *not* a super sweet, kid-type cereal. So many of the gluten-free cereals are a bit too "Cap'n Crunchish" for my tastes. These are a little sweet, but heartier and more "adult." And they actually have some fiber!

Oops; my fault. After I posted I remembered that I'd come across that via a search, and that it wasn't current. D'oh!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      When I was diagnosed in 2016, I was told I had probably had it at least 30 years. I also have lactose intolerance and IBS, so I'm not certain which symptoms were which in the early stages. I have osteopenia because of it. I have issues with inflammation. I was only diagnosed with the IGA blood test. But there was such a marked difference when I went very...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
