Mary's Gone Crackers review: No respond 15

Why don't you carry Mary's Gone crackers anymore? I bought them several times from the Costco in Morganville, NJ but they haven't been in stock for a couple of months. I've checked two other Costcos in NJ and asked a friend who lives in Pennsylvania but it seems no Costcos have them. Please bring them back!

Found an actual small rock in Mary's Gone Crackers. I work for a pharmaceutical company, so I'm going to get photomicrographs and have this confirmed as a rock (not organic material) before I send it in and complain. I will also file a complaint with the FDA - this is what any consumer should do if you have an issue with a FOOD, drug, or cosmetic product. Go to FDA.org for the link to food product complaints.

I just now chipped one of my molars on my first box of this product... how has this problem still not been addressed?

After mailing the tiny rock hard bits I found to the company, I called a few months later to see if they had determined what they were. I was told they were bits of brown rice that had not cooked completely. They did say they would be rectifying the situation, but they did not elaborate on how they would be doing this. Brown rice is extremely hard, and even if cooked partially, it softens. These bits were as hard as rocks and did not appear to be cooked in the least. So, anyway, I have not purchased anymore of the pretzels simply for this reason. I'm just afraid they didn't do anything about the rice and I certainly don't want to break anymore teeth.

I have bitten into 2 tiny rocks eating these crackers. One today and one several weeks ago. I passed the first off as a one off thing, but decided to Google "Mary's crackers rocks" this time. Imagine my surprise to find this blog... I'm angry.

I wrote to the company and they responded within a few days. They are concerned about the breakage of my teeth and asked that I send them the hard bits that I had found in the pretzels. I have a baggie filled with hard bits that I am certain are what has been breaking my teeth off. Maybe if more people would write the company they would alter the recipe. They have been very responsive and cooperative. They even sent me 2 cases of their products as a compensation for my problems, however, I still do not want to eat any of the pretzel products until they alter the recipe. I found more hard bits in the new packages they sent me than the ones I have at home. I hate to give them up, but I most likely will if the recipe doesn't get changed.

I just broke an overlay off my tooth eating these crackers. The overlay had been in place for 8 years. I don't think flax seeds should be eaten whole. They are as hard as rocks and your body cannot break them down. From now on I will only have milled flax seeds and definitely no more Mary's Gone Crackers. Mary has gone crackers. Why else would she make such rock hard crackers.

Yea, me also. I have broken FOUR teeth. I have an appt next week to get the 4th tooth fixed - in about 7 months. I LOVE these pretzels. I eat them every day and go thru about 2 bags a week. I emailed the company asking if they would please alter the recipe to eliminate those very hard minuscule bits that continue to break the teeth off. We'll see if they respond. I'm not asking for them to pay for my dental work, despite the money, inconvenience and quality of my teeth, I would simply like to have the recipe changed so I may continue to eat these. However, from the comments above, I may have to resort to stop eating them.

I had the same experience a few years ago. Details: As someone who avoids gluten containing foods, I was excited to try “Sticks and Twigs” by Mary’s Gone Crackers. Imagine my horror upon eating it for the first time, I broke my tooth. It broke so deep that I required periodontal surgery to make it possible to be fitted for a crown. Mary’s Gone Crackers is not responding to my requests to pay for my dental repair and to reformulate the product (I am not the only one who has broken a tooth on it). Mary Waldner, founder of the company, made a big deal about calling me and giving me her home phone number and telling me she wanted me to be satisfied with the outcome, but has since not responded to any further communication from me including requests for compensation after I completed the dental surgery and crown placement (over $3200). I have contacted the FDA and they suggested that people who have had a similar experience contact them [protected]), as it is their job to protect the safety and wellbeing of consumers and garner compliance from companies. Caveat Emptor: Let the Buyer Beware!

I broke a tooth on Mary's Gone Crackers Sticks & Twigs. My dentist and I tried to break one of her Sticks & Twigs with our bare hands. We couldn't. He was not surprised that anyone would break a tooth on them. I contacted Mary's Gone Crackers and Mary couldn't care less. I truly feel sorry for mothers whose children may break a tooth on this product. It's inexcusable that Mary's didn't care about my experience ($1100 in dental repairs) and that my experience wasn't at all important to her.

Yeah, I buy your crackers a lot because I like the ingredients but I'm about to stop because one in three times I'm eating them there's a moment where it feels like both my upper and lower tooth must surely have EXPLODED upon biting down on one of those bits like a tiny pebble no more than a milimeter in diameter. I would not be suprised if I've sustained microfractures in multiple teeth after going through about a dozen and a half boxes of these things. And I eat them very carefully because I know how dangerous they are! Can't you work out this unfortunate kink in an otherwise great product? (A bit more flavor wouldn't hurt either.)
