A: Nestle bought out GOL a while ago and I imagine changes have now been made to the formula of this product, but I can only guess this since the company is not outright saying it

A: Thank you for reaching out to us. We are aware of the variation that can occur in the color, texture, smell, and taste of our products. Our Quality Department has assured us that this is very typical with our products and has not affected the safety or efficacy of the products. We understand that real organic foods grown in rich soil will have natural variations that can affect texture, color, taste, and smell of the products from batch to batch. Ingredients that are reaped in the summer months can be very different in composition from the ingredients that are reaped in fall, resulting in these changes. Only products that are made with synthetic ingredients will not have changing consistency. The safety and efficacy of our products is of utmost concern. All raw materials have strict specifications, and their Certificates of Analysis are kept on record. We also test all finished products not only for heavy metals, but for microbial growth, and pathogenic species such as E. coli and Salmonella.

A: Thank you for your interest in Garden of Life’s products. This is to confirm that the color you are seeing is absolutely normal for our mykind tablets.

This does not affect the quality or the efficacy of the product.
