Someone mentioned in a review that this nutritional shake no longer contains Carrageenan Gum. Can anyone confirm if that's in fact true. Thanks!

I looked today and it is still in the one that I have. I gave this product a great review as well. There is no perfect packaged option out there. You pay for the convenience and easiness of being able to grab it and go. I do still feel that its better than most of the other packaged options out there. But I too will probably not be buying them anymore as I am starting to just make my own shakes. Helps the pocket book as well. :)

I thought this was a great drink. I gave it a good review. But after checking out FoodBabe website I found out that YES it does contain Carrageenan Gum. I also went to Orgain's website and Yes it does contain it. I wont be buying this again.

The ones I receive from Amazon do still have Carrageenan Gum in them. Last time I looked at the original website, they still listed it. I will look at website again and see if they took it out. I hope they did!

Here is just 1 explanation from Dr. Weil.http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA401181/Is-Carrageenan-Safe.html

That is a good question, and I'll have to admit that I did not notice that on the label.......should have been more alert! It is used as a thickening agent of course, but I have to question why it was necessary to use carrageenan in this product. I don't like the fact that CocoVia thought it was necessary to use this in its product. I am not going to reorder this again after my supply is used up and am going to check for something that is more pure and without that additive.

Wish I knew. They may have changed the label. I get mine from Hawaii Nutrex.

HI Susan, our original Orgain shakes use an organic compliant, non-degraded form that comprises a trace (0.026%) amount of the product. Our new vegan shakes do not have carrageenan.

Hi everyone, This is Jeff from Integrated Sports Nutrition. We formulated and produce Red Leaf Pre-Workout Energizer. The supplement facts panels for dietary supplements are a little different than for regular food products. Sorry for any confusion. There is 0 grams sugar and 0 carbs. To be super precise, there is a trace amount of carbs from the natural lime flavoring, but it rounds down to 0 (per FDA labeling guidelines). The sweetness comes from the combo of natural flavoring and the sweetener - which is sucralose. Sucralose is the same thing as Splenda (the yellow packets you see at Starbucks). But we use very little of that, less than the equivalent of 1/5 a pack of Splenda. It's the combo of these various ingredients that makes the product taste sweet - even though it has 0 sugar. It was a painstaking flavoring process that took over 1 year to get right. It's because anything with any green tea or caffeine in it is nasty. So covering that up without using a ton of flavoring and sweetener is a bear. But we did it, using a very minimal amount of flavoring and sucralose. Hope you like it. Feel free to email me at jeff@isnlabs.com with any questions at all. Best regards, Jeff ISN

Yes, unfortunately this is absolutely true. It's unfortunate because it has ruined the product. It leaves a nasty aspartame aftertaste that I just can't handle. Returning my 3 cans. This was one of meals everyday since the late 90s. Now I have to figure something else out I guess. I suggested that Natures Plus make a Spirutein Classic. They'll notice that their sales drop immediately from this change and probably change back. I wrote the company directly to inquire about the change.

Yes. I like the product because it is non GMO and without Carrageenan. It is not 'delicious' but is far better tasting than many proteins, particularly the ones with aspartame or other bogus sweeteners.

I am glad you are questioning this product it did not tast very good first of all then I saw there was carrageenan in it!!! The things healthy people have to understand is how bad carrageenan is (cancer causing) and the manufacturers of "organic foods put this horrible thing in yogurts soy milk, almond milk...I can go on and on anyway I pitched the rest of the box when I thoroughly read the ingredients. Be aware of things like this!

They changed two of the original items, you can still buy the ionic elements separately. There were too many complaints about the elements, I think many were being told to add them to the Power shake and it ruined the taste. (Most prefer them in abut 20 oz. Of cold lemon water. No more fiber either, the two new products see still great, I actually heard David Sandoval say avg. Weight loss is now more than 12pds. In ten days. There is also a second way to do the transformation where you can eat a regular meal everyday. (You must choose from the list of healthy options). Any other questions?

I just checked my bottle and it said 100% sprulina. It tastes like sprulina, no where close to protein shake. I would suggest against using it in place of typical protein shake. Do some research to decide how you want to use it.

Per one scoop serving: 100 calories, 2g fat, 3g carbs, 18g protein. Carrageenan not listed in ingredients. This was from label of Vanillas Praline which is my favorite. Flavor is hidden when making fruit smoothies, but enough sweetness from flavor that no sweetener is needed. This is my favorite whey protein product and I have been adding a half scoop to my morning smoothies for a few years.

I double checked the list of ingredients and did not see any gum or gum derivatives listed. Regards
