Truvia Original Calorie-Free Sweetener from the Stevia Leaf - 40 packets/2.82oz

Immediately noticed the Truvia packet size had been made smaller. Those of us who deal with thumb arthritis struggle with opening many food products like lunch meat packets, jars, and lift top tabs. Thus we jab holes into the products with knives and cut the items out of hard to handle packages. After trying to make a lunch meat sandwich with a new and hard to open package of turkey breast and a new jar of mayonnaise, out of frustration I threw all of the items back into the refrigerator, deciding not to eat and not to purchase items that were frustrating to open. Add Truvia to that list!

Since they changed the packets in size, the flavor is not the same, it is bitter. This was my go to sugar and now I have to change to another brand. This is very disappointing. If you do change back to the original recipe, let me know. Until then, I am done with this product.

I have been using Truvia for a while, switching from Equal and other sweeteners as I liked the flavor better. HOWEVER, since the smaller packet size came out-I have trouble opening the packet without spilling. I tear off the top, and nothing comes out-then I tear the rest of the way and spills all over, making a mess. Reluctantly, I will be switching back to Splenda, NutraSweet or other brands that still have the larger packets. -- Brenda Paine

I bought six 140 count boxes of trivia for my bakery, and all of the boxes had loose sugar granules in the bottoms. While the packets remained intact, several of them were not sealed correctly and the sugar granules had escaped, rendering the boxes useless. Total waste of money, and several customers have commented about not liking the smaller packet size.

I love Truvia! I have used it for years and it is my go to in my coffee and tea! However, since you have switched to the smaller packets it is no longer a good product for me! I struggle to open the packet as I have arthritis in my hands. When I am finally able to get the packet open the product spills on the counter every time, making it necessary for cleanup before I’ve had my coffee and the need to use an extra packet to get the same amount of sweetener in the cup! I would highly recommend that this company read their reviews that have clearly went from glowing to not so great in the last few months since the change of packet size! It is looking like I will be forced to change brands out of necessity! It would be nice to open a packet of sweetener without having extreme pain in my hands! It would also be nice if I didn’t have to clean up a mess every morning! BRING BACK THE BIGGER PACKETS!

In using this sweetener for several years now and the last box I bought a large percentage of them are empty and sealed and the others very greatly on how much product is inside the individual packets. What is going on in the packaging of this product. It's not cheap but it is even more expensive when you end up with more empty packets or only a few grains of sweetener inside the sealed packet. Can't afford to buy empty packets at that price

Terrible design! Much harder for older people to deal with.

I loved this product, but will switch to another brand. While it’s understandable that the company wants to cut costs, the new packets are hard to open without spilling. The “user experience” has definitely been compromised, and I will look for an alternative for my company and family.

I do not like your new smaller packets they cost spilling and are hearted open. Unless you go back to the bigger packets, I will never buy this product again. Whoever came up with this idea didn’t think it through very well Did they?

Long time Truvia user and I love it. Disappointed in the new smaller packaging format. The tightly sealed pouches make it frustratingly difficult to open without spilling or tearing off some product on the sides. Hope Truvia addresses this issue soon; otherwise, I might consider switching to another Stevia option.

The smaller new Packet size is not a good idea. It is harder to open and sugar is spilled resulting in less sugar being put into cup. Very dissatisfied by the new packet.

TheWe have been buying a large box of Truvía for years. This will be the last time I buy this brand. You have changed the amount of product in each packet. Also, the taste seems different. It tastes more like the “stevia in the raw”, which is more of an artificial taste. I didn’t realize the packet size had changed the first day I used the new box, but I did notice the taste was off. Then I saw the packet change. Reading the comments, whatever changes you’ve made is not working for your consumers, clearly. I see you are telling consumers the sweetness is the same. We are telling you that the taste isn’t.

The smaller packet size is awful. When tear the packet, some of the product spills on the counter, requiring cleanup. Even when shake the packet to try and avoid a mess, spillage still occurs. Will be buying a new sweetener with regular size packaging from now on. Why? Was this not QA’d? All to save money in the guise of environmentally friendly!

I hate the new packet! Please bring back the larger one.

I have used trivia for years,I won’t be using it anymore.The new version is awful.I just bought 2 bags and have put them in the garbage.Yuck thanks for ruining a good product.

Small packets when torn spill part of their contents, giving you less sweetener.

I purchased it in-store and when I arrived home and opened it one of the packet was already open and the stevia powder was released in the box, which made my bag messy. I think they should care more about how packets are sealed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the only sweetener I have found that I can use in my coffee and other beverages that doesn't have an odd after taste! A little goes a long way. I carry the packets with me when I travel as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always keep my Truvia jar by the coffee maker. Easy to spoon in some coffee sweetness. Good for sprinkling on anything that needs it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The spoonable is great! You can add what you like. You don’t have to worry about something being too sweet or not sweet enough like you do if the packets aren’t filled right.
