Alpen Muesli No Sugar Added Cereal, Heart Healthy Cereal with Wheat Flakes, Rolled Oats, Nuts and Raisins, Non-GMO Project Verified, 14 OZ Box (Pack of 6)

Have enjoyed Alpen over decades but particularly appreciate the sugar free version. It is an excellent source of fiber while being very tasty and nutritious with an delightful mix of grains and berries. While area grocery shelves are crowded with sugar loaded bland cereals that offer nothing for a healthy diet and are loaded with artificial ingredients, Alpen cereals are a worthy find. The supplier handling my purchase did a great job. So I will be keeping this product in stock.

Very good. I am not a cereal person, but this tastes like the one I loved as a teenager. Good price here

I gave this such a bad rating because I don't like being tricked. This cereal most certainly does contain added sugar and it isn't fair to claim otherwise. It might be legal, I really don't know, but, I know it isn't fair.While it is true that it does not contain the brown sugar listed on the ingredients, it does contain the malt extract. Malt extract is the sweetener bakers used for years before high fructose corn syrup came along.Malt extract is sugar extracted from barley. Broken down, malt extract contains: 1-2% fructose, 7 - 10% glucose, 1-3% sucrose, 39-42% maltose, 10-15% maltotriose, 25-30% higher saccharides.Sadly, I didn't know this prior to buying it. I saw all the comments about it not containing sugar, and the huge "no sugar added" label on the front, and thought I was ok. I don't eat sugar at all, and when any is introduced in my diet, I really notice it. I looked up malt extract and discovered the above information. How can they say this is no "sugar" added?At least malt extract is the last ingredient on the list, and they list ingredients by quantity. It is a low sugar cereal for sure, it certainly isn't the sugary stuff that they market to kids. But, this isn't a no sugar added cereal.If you avoid sugar and prefer not to include it in your diet for whatever reason, look up malt extract and decide for yourself what substance you call it. I call it sugar.I hope this helps you make a decision as to whether this product is right for you.

I was surprised that it tasted really good! It's a no sugar added cereal that seems to be minimally processed. It's very nutritious too!

I got hooked on Alpen several years ago during a trip to Ireland, and have been pleased I could find it here. It's good, hearty muesli, and the no-sugar-added version avoids excess calories. Good with honey and/or fruit to give it some life. Only complaint is the small size of the boxes, but the stuff is so dense it lasts pretty well. A good quality cereal.

Alpen is our everyday breakfast during the week. I mix it with fresh berries and fruit of the season, little milk on top of it and voila - healthy, tasty, and fast to prepare! We never grow tired of it. You don't feel hungry after 1 hour like you do when you eat one of those airy and sugar loaded cereals even if claimed to be whole wheat. Best and healthiest cereal choice on the market in my opinion. Pricey, but well worth it.Note after I've read some of the other reviews: I never tried UK Alpen and no, it might not taste like European muesli. It would taste too bland for me if I didn't add fresh fruit - strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, bananas, peaches, you name it. But it's perfect with fruit and I still think it's the best choice on the US market. It's sold nowhere in the store where I live, so I've had to try a variety of other so called healthy and whole wheat cereals when I happened to run out of it.

Cereal is great but advertised a 6 pack (Six boxes) and only received one box making it rather pricey.

Although I can't remember clearly how Alpen was many years ago, I am certain that in recent years its composition is not consistent. In my experience of it, this means that its quality varies. Is this happening by batch and/or simply over time? Who knows?What I do know is that a strong selling point of Alpen is that it has only six simple ingredients, all easily pronounceable. A marvel in this age of engineered food products. So I wonder whether the problem is in sourcing: presumably if they can't get an ingredient of requisite quality at the price at some point, they will source an inferior alternative rather than pause production. Just a guess, as I assume that nearly all manufacturers do this.When this cereal is good, its texture in milk (soy milk for me) is excellent, al dente and chewy. But when it is not good, I can see the difference even as I add the milk and just before I eat it (as a type of muesli, Alpen is meant to be soaked in milk or yogurt before it is eaten). In that case, the wheat flakes float more than usual and the mouth feel is kind of foamy. The difference is not subtle.Lastly, I suspect that recently fewer raisins are being used in Alpen. If true, this all would amount to a kind of shrinkflation, in which an established product is reformulated and/or repackaged to affect a cost savings for the manufacturer, while giving less to the consumer at the same retail price. Sad, if true of Alpen.Hopefully Alpen's quality will be reestablished and will remain stable.
