Is Nature Valley legit?

Legit

Nature Valley is a genuine granola bar brand from General Mills, on the shelves of the big US retailers, but what you open is not always what you hoped for. Bars can taste stale well before the date, and the crunchy ones, whose crumbs the brand jokes about itself, can arrive as little else.

What we checked

  • Granola brand established in 1973
  • Owner based in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Watch out for

  • Bars that taste stale or soft well before the best-by date printed on the box.
  • A Crunchy bar eaten as nut-free, when every Crunchy flavor may contain peanut, almond and pecan.
  • A box with fewer bars than you expected, or a wrapper already open when you unpack it.

Did your box of bars taste stale?

We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Nature Valley as a formal letter.

Who makes Nature Valley bars?

Nature Valley bars are made by General Mills, Inc., the Minneapolis food company that owns the brand. Nature Valley started in 1973 with granola cereal, according to its own site, and went on to make what it calls the world's first granola bar. In the US the bars are sold through supermarkets, other retailers and online stores, not by subscription from Nature Valley itself, and in other countries through local General Mills businesses. For a question or a complaint about a Nature Valley product bought in the US, General Mills consumer services is the contact, on 1-800-248-7310 or through the online form.

Can I get a refund for stale or broken Nature Valley bars?

For a stale, broken or damaged box of Nature Valley bars, the store that sold it is usually the quickest route to a refund or a replacement: take the box and the receipt back and check its return policy. You can also report the product to General Mills consumer services on 1-800-248-7310 or through the Contact Nature Valley form, with the flavor, the lot code, the best-by date and where you bought it, and ask what it can offer. For a pack bought from an online retailer, contact that retailer with the order number and photos of what arrived.

Refund refused for a faulty box? Open a case with us: our trained AI keeps coaching you on what to send General Mills and when to push again.

What should I do if I find something in a Nature Valley bar?

If you find something in a Nature Valley bar that should not be there, stop eating it, keep the bar, the object and the wrapper, and seal them in a bag. Photograph the object next to the bar, and the lot code and best-by date on the wrapper and the box, and keep the receipt. Report it to General Mills consumer services on 1-800-248-7310 or through the Contact Nature Valley form, with the codes and the store where you bought it, and ask for a reference number.

If you were hurt or felt unwell, see a doctor, keep the notes and mention them when you report it.
