I bought and tried Catalina Crunch Protein Snack Mix Parmesan Garlic 18 oz. The taste was fine, not great not horrible, fine. Nuts are the second and third ingredient on the ingredient panel. The p... See more

Absolutely NOT recommended for Type 2 diabetics. This garbage makes my blood sugar go OFF THE CHARTS every time. Claiming this is "diabetes friendly" is like saying smoking is perfectly fine. It's jus... See more

The product isn’t that bad at all, lots of stevia flavor, but I just don’t get the wRnih about the color, it is a 100% scam. The packaging colors are completely different from the actual cereal color... See more

Catalina Crunch has the worst customer…

Catalina Crunch has the worst customer service ever!
I wrote them because I just received my 4 box order in July and one box expires in August, and another has a date I can't read. You are advised to eat only 1 a day initially, which means I would be forced to eat every day and only the one flavor! Basically they told me tough luck! Will never order from them again, expecially since the cost is $49 for 4 boxes!

Just curious why are u buying direct…

Just curious why are u buying direct from the company when you can buy cheaper in the store. And don’t have to worry about them scamming you. Walmart sells 3 flavors for $7.00 s bag. Sprouts just had a sale on all flavors for $6.00 a bag. I would never spend $10.00 to $12.00 for that cereal, it’s ok but not that great. Atkins should come out with a ceral.

Fraudulent billing practice

Despicable customer service and fraudulent billing practice, no phone number or voicemail is full, continues to charge for AUTO RENEW order that was never placed. Auto renew was cancelled immediately with email verification. Catalina would NOT REFUND the CC or have UPS pickup their crappy cereal

Company is a scam….

If I could give zero stars I would. I never received my order. I received wrong tracking info and after many many email attempts I gave up. Very frustrating I agree with previous reviews that say this company is a scam.

Recalled products not replaced nor refunded

Catalina Crunch recently had a recall due to metal contamination. Per their email, they said to not eat and to immediately destroy the recalled products. I contacted the company, asking for replacement pouches, and was told that since the recall was voluntary, no replacement bags would be provided. This is unacceptable for any recalled product, especially one so expensive.

Ordered direct from their website

Ordered direct from their website, chose "Free Shipping". They waited a week to hand the shipment to USPS, which then took an additional 4 days to get it to me (they are in California, I am in Colorado). Their customer service responded to my complaint with a screenshot showing Free Shipping takes 7-10 days. Subsequent emails from me went unanswered asking why it takes them a week after charging my card to hand the shipment to the carrier. Oh, and half the cookies were in crumbs, not well packaged at all. I will not do business with this company again, they don't deserve to have my custom.

This company is a scam

This company is a scam! You can't cancel or modify any recurring orders. The last order was all one kind and not even the original assortment I ordered. Mulitple emails sent to them have been returned. I now have to dispute with credit card company. Good cereal but an unbelievably BAD company.

This Company is Bad News

I would give 0 stars if I could. The product is ok, taste-wise, but horribly expensive and that's the best thing I can say about them. As others have indicated, there is NO customer service, no way to contact them, other than through Facebook or through their website, and the "manage your orders" screen on their website is inoperable. I've left messages on their Facebook page, sent messages through their website, and even obtained an actual phone number for them through my bank and no response at all. I'm going to the Better Business Bureau.

As a diabetic I'm always looking for good tasting sugar free or Low sugar desserts and I didn't find Any here.

I'm a diabetic so I'm always looking for sugar free or extremely low sugar desserts. These cookies are 1g of sugar each. I bought all 3 cookies. The vanilla creme, chocolate vanilla and the chocolate mint. I also got the regular and spicy snack mix. ALL OF THEM TASTE HORRIBLE! The only way I've been able to choke them down is to chase them with a tasty beverage. It's like eating cardboard. One of their accolades said the chocolate vanilla was a good replacement for Oreos. LIAR! Now granted your tastes are likely different from mine and you'll enjoy their snacks but just in case I'm right buy small first. I'm not going to try their cereal even if it's free (unless they buy the milk).

Stomach bloating

Bought from whole foods, so I didn't have to deal with any subscription related issues. Stomach cramps after eating. Glad to read that I'm not alone. Taste is good. But I just bloat up after eating one portion 1/2 cup.

Ordered an 8 variety pack of the cereal…

Ordered an 8 variety pack of the cereal but was what delivered was a 4 pack. I emailed customer service twice and no response. They should either send me the additional 4 packages or partially refund me. For them to not fulfill my order and keep my money is illegal. From reading the reviews below, I anticipate they will charge my credit card for future subscriptions that I opted out of. Just great.

Bad Taste and Bad Service

I did not like the taste and it seemed hard on my digestive system. I had stomach cramps for days. I would ask to make a return for a refund but this does not seem possible. I would welcome contact with a customer service representative.

Terrible scam artists

Terrible scam artists! Like all the others I adamantly said NO to any subscription, yet they shipped fraudulently. I had to cancel my DEBIT card, go to FedEx, lose hours of my life. Lesson learned the hard way. HOW AND WHY would you have no phone number, as a business? COME ON NOW...only one reason...because they are scammers. Buyer BEWARE

Blech (and I have a really easy palate)

I wanted to love this--SO MUCH--and I couldn't even make it through a single bag. The flavor is terrible. It tastes like hay with a sheen of artificial flavoring. I spent so much on it, received a sample pack of five flavors, tried them all, couldn't finish the bowl and threw them away. A huge disappointment. Don't waste your money.

Disgusting Cardboard & Fake Sugar Cereal

The cereal is absolutely disgusting. Sure it stays crunchy, but chewing it takes ages to get through one bite. It starts out tasting like fake sugar and then turns to very crunchy cardboard. There's no saving it. It also took 3 weeks to ship to me. The cookies were ok, but I don't know if I'll finish the box.
