I was in my local GNC store yesterday and the clerk was clearing the shelves of the new recipe.

She told me (as we know) Quest recently tweaked the formula of the new recipe. They want to get rid of that first post-change batch and not even sell them.

I decided to try the Double Chocolate Chunk again and she made sure it was the new-new recipe. She looked for an expiration date of Oct 2016 (or later).

Although still not as good as the original recipe, it was OK and I'll start buying them again.

    The title of this post is misleading. I thought there was a dangerous health issue linked to Quest bars.

    Oh are they going to start selling the new-new formula now? I got some in the mail. Texture is better but taste is still not great. Too bad Quest. I might never eat another Quest bar.

    I haven't received mine yet. I have kind of given up on them. I now eat Pure Protein bars and started adding Vitafiber to my daily Greek yogurt/protein powder mix so I can still get the same amount of fiber I was getting when I ate Quest bars.

    Ooh you have the Vitafiber! You should make your own! I've been interested but am a little lazy.

    I bought it thinking I would, then never got around to it. This works well for me and the Pure Protein bars are a lot less expensive ($7 for a box of 6 at Walmart).

    Yeah they are decent. The only thing is I prefer the larger one, which is 300 or so calories. I settled on Combat for 210. The smaller Pure Protein bars just don't feel like "enough" for me. It's probably mental lol.

    Not trying to sound like I'm marketing or promoting really hard but I just happened to log onto the forums tonight because I had free time and saw a lot of posts about protein bars. For anyone looking for another alternative to Quest (I'll never go back after everything they've changed and done over the past year) there is this awesome little company in Idaho that hasn't been in business too long that makes these really good protein bars (and a lot of other really good products) that are allergen free, probiotic, etc etc. I won't ramble but if you're interested see my response on @antennachick post

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10339375/r-bars-instead-of-quest#latest

    The company is called The Lion's Choice. I talk about them a lot because their peanut butters are to die for. If anyone has any questions feel free to add or message me. I'm obsessed with their PBs powdered and regular and pancake mix, and they're coming out with oatmeal soon.
