Quaker Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal - 72.8oz/48ct

It doesn’t taste like it used to. Was my favorite oatmeal. Not buying again.

I hate you changed your maple and brown sugar! I have bought my last box. Your cereal used to be good and smooth and now it’s lumpy and grainy. You had had good product and now wasted it for me. I’m done with this product.

New April 2026 formula?? The salt content is through the charts and tastes like, salt. Didn’t use to be like that. Disgusting

Definitely way less sugar in the new recipe. I likely could have adapted to a gradual reduction in sugar. Long time purchaser @ 69 yrs. of age.

Something changed and its not good. Its palatable, But compared to the way it used to be... it's not as sweet, a bit more salty and lacks the creamy texture that I grew up with.

Love Quaker instant oatmeal maple and brown sugar. Great for breakfast

I've eaten this oatmeal all my life and loved it. Recently I thought I had gotten bad batch since it tasted awful. Fake flavor and off taste. But a when another box was the same I went online to see if there was a change. And apparently they've changed the formula. It's awful. I guess I'll have to just make my own from unflavored.

I don’t know what they were thinking with the new flavor. This is awful. Bland and all around terrible. Ruined an amazing product

My item arrived today, damaged with 4 items not included. Box of 48 oatmeal individual packets ordered; only 44 found in the box. Box ripped on one side.

Not sure what you all did to the oatmeal but change it back! Texture and taste are worse,!

Eating this since I was a child and it is completely unrecognizable now. Ate one packet and throughout the rest of the box, it's absolutely terrible.

The salt content is off the charts. It used to be my favorite flavor. Now it tastes like the bottom of a bowl of popcorn. Gross.

I thought I had found something I really enjoyed eating for breakfast and now you changed it up, to say it SUCKS is a understatement. I will try and finish this box I have, adding my own ingredients, but after that, you've lost me as a costumer. Did ya'll ever hear the phrase, If it ain't broke don't fix it. Bad decision on Your part.

I'm 73 years old and I've been eating Quaker Oats since I was a kid, but this Maple & Brown Sugar is the worst I've ever had. First of all, the box is the same size as before, but there was only 6 bags in it. That's my fault for thinking there would be automatically 12 bags. The bags are larger, but if you don't use a larger bowl, you'll have a big mess. I put a plate over mine and put it in the microwave; works every time until now. The taste is horrible! You get more powered stuff than oats and whatever the powdered stuff is, it's not maple and brown sugar. One of your comments said it tasted like dirt; I agree! I threw half of mine out! You'll be losing millions of customers if you don't straighten this out soon because there are other alternatives.

This new formula is tasteless compared to the old one. 😞 I usually don’t like to give bad reviews, and customarily only take the time to praise. But this relatively new formulation of your single-serve oatmeal is just really so very awful that I think it’s important that you are informed. 😞 In addition to taste, the vitamin fortification took an hit, too, apparently, in the newer formulation. How do I know? I have very sensitive gums. And I noticed that whenever I consumed the old version, the Quaker brand single-serve variety packs, the apples and cinnamon, or maple 🍁 and brown sugar, or cinnamon and spice flavors, my oral gum tissue improved! So the fortified by B-vitamins old version was doing something healthy and good!! 👍 I do understand your logic: simpler natural ingredients is the consumer trend. But sometimes, and this is one of those times, I believe, it’s best not to mess with a good thing. And you had a really good thing going with your old formula. And I can see by the other comments of former!! habitual consumers, I’m by far not the only one complaining. PLEASE!! 🙏 Consider bringing back the old, and obviously beloved, formula. I bought it ALL the time and considered it a healthy addition to my diet. Now, I don’t buy it AT ALL! (And I wonder about the other disappointed consumers. Have they also abandoned you?) Especially give the B-vitamins fortifications a reconsideration. I bet there were many, many young kids who greatly benefited from them - as well as learned that something as healthy as oatmeal could compete - and win! - for their breakfast attention and consumption. Thank you.

this was quite possibly the worst thing that I ever tasted. this oatmeal was so bad that after just one bite I thought about ending it all right there just form the taste. I will never be buying this flavor ever again and honesty it is a disgrace to the Quaker name. This was nothing but a money grabbing remake of a well done original for no other reason than corporate greed

Disgustingly salty. You ruined a good thing. Will go elsewhere.

I ate Quaker maple brown sugar instant oatmeal every single morning with berries for as far back as I can remember. Until you changed the recipe that is. Floury mouth drying taste, no matter how much water or milk I make it with. Then a friend suggested another store's brand maple brown sugar instant oatmeal and viola! It tastes exactly like yours used to, and it's less expensive!

This used to be delicious, and the recipe change that they made a few years ago is terrible. It used to be flavorful and had good maple and brown sugar taste. Now it’s bland and has worse flavor than just plain oatmeal. Also the texture is way worse. Instead of smooth and creamy it’s tough and chewy. Disgusting. Go ahead and leave the same stock copy/paste reply you leave everyone else about “changing consumer tastes” - I think the deluge of 1 star reviews here speaks for itself. This was a mistake and clearly driven by profits alone. Quarterly line must go up, forever!

I'm so sad you changed your recipe. I couldn't even finish one packet and then tossed the whole box. It tastes awful. Please bring back the original as an option.
