Our local health food store recently changed their nutritional yeast which I had been buying for over 20 years. I noticed it was darker but didn't think much of it until I tasted it. It was just horrible!!! I tossed it as I knew I would never eat it and had not kept the receipt. So I got online and ordered this yeast from Frontier. Very tasty and though the bag had a hole in it I was quickly sent a replacement bag. I'm really happy with this nutritional yeast and happy to have a new, reliable source for a staple in our house. I try to buy local but when a good item gets replaced with an inferior one what's a girl to do?
