After opening the package, I noticed the bar has several areas with a white coating. Is it something expected from ingredient or should I be worried?

I think it is likely the agave, which much like honey crystallizes after a while. The bars are likely just fine, but not as fresh as they should be.

I had the same problem with a raw bar, but a different brand. Turns out it was mold starting to form. When I called customer service, they advised me to store the bars in the fridge in the future. Again, different brand, but hope I could help!

Paula, I have never before heard this issue raised, but I appreciate the information. If that spot is scratch-prone, we can let future customers know to be mindful of this and take extra precaution. Thanks so much. Sincerely, JR Hill Goedekers.com

I dont have any white residue problems with this product. looking at the ingredients list, it appears to be gluten free - but I honestly dont know how to be 100% sure of that.

A friend and i just did a project and where able to get a bright white. I am not sure if or how much the color you will be covering impact the final outcome. Ours was a fairly light shade of tan.One note on the tintable already being white. That is what we thought as well. Shot one of the bottles before we realized it was not covering with any real color. Added the paint per instructions and achieved a great white finish.

My first shipments packaging was the plastic insulated kind, but inside the actual bars where put into a quest bar box. Some where a little squished since I let them sit in the heat on my porch for several hours. Whoops! but they were still fine to eat once they cooled off. The 2nd shipment was packaged in a box and inside the bars were packaged in another box that looked similar to a quest bar box but it was generic. These were in a little better shape, likely because I didn't let them bake in the sun. Either way I was totally fine with the condition of the bars. I love that I was able to try them all. I fully plan on ordering more. My first shipments packaging was the plastic insulated kind, but inside the actual bars where put into a quest bar box.

I've never noticed any of that but I would say use Bar Keepers Friend. It good for stainless steel.

I tried filling a glass with white vinegar and letting this item soak in it for a few days. That dissolved the external calcium deposits, and I suppose it helped rid the inside of such deposits, too. Doing that had no adverse effect on the finish.

The hex bar was not wrapped in cardboard inside the shipping cardboard box. There were little pieces on the ends of the bars but they looked like they got dislodged during shipping. Both ends of the bar had punched holes in the shipping box. Even then, there were only some minor scratches on the very end of the weight plate sections of the bar. That's the condition the box was in when I got it. I'm still really happy with the bar. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you have any others

Yes, there is what appears to be white pulp looking substance inside both bottles, I like it so much I purchased another bottle. It is working for me.

I'd order now. I've never had any issues with Chocolate Bars (big or small) going bad. In fact, I've even eaten a 20 year old Snickers bar that was still good. It all depends on the storage conditions. Don't let it get hot, and don't freeze it. Obviously, getting it too hot melts the bar and deforms it, while freezing it can separate some of the coco oils from the paraffin, leaving some waxy deposits and discolorations in the bar. If you have a cool basement, when it arrives, leave it packaged up and store it there until you need it. Otherwise, if you're concerned with rodents or something, unpack it and put it in the refrigerator.

This is treated with a coating not suited for food preparation. Any cuts that occur due to use would result in grooves that harbor bacteria.

I believe it's a coating but so far it's done well. I'm a Chef by trade and I am always outdoors. I've cut everything from cardboard to wood and produce. Also a few beer cans to test the edge. Its awesome for a knife I picked up under 50 bucks. My friend bought a benchmade griptillin 3 months before I purchased my tenacious and it's not hel up as well.

Not trying to be sarcastic, but the best place you can put that whole thing is back in the box and send it back. The white bar, I THINK is supposed to keep the plastic / foil from clinging back to the roll. I've put it in there and tried feeding over and under it. It's a piece of junk. Save yourself. Send it back. :)

Yes it is white. I was afraid certain foods might stain them but I was wrong. They are great!

there seemed to be a light coating on the wood. I must say that the handle did not seam to need any sealant. however I twiked the handle by using 220 grit ,very lightltly then used two coats of lnsead oil .don't worry about the handle, its good out of the box. check you tube for info on fine tuning the edge. i have used this tool all winter and am very pleased with it. have fun . bill

Good question! I really can't answer that. I do know the bar I got was double wrapped in aluminum foil and its large cardboard box. It didn't have the musty smell nor the white around the edges of olde chocolate. What I got was quite good for a Hershey's chocolate bar, and it didn't last very long! Olde chocolate seems to take forever to get rid of. Hope this helps.

Hello:It appears to be some sort of cheap die-cast material. Very lacking in quality. I would say, spend some more money on Ritchey or Profile bars or buy some used! I used these once and they were ok, but the metal stripped out and I had to fix it with a nut and bolt. You really need to think of the safety issue too and my gut feeling tells me that these are not a bargain at any price!!! You get what you pay for.
