We were loyal Weetabix customers for almost five decades, until you quietly stopped making it with organic ingredients. 

After I wrote for clarification I received a reply from a Barbara's rep confirming that it has been discontinued in the US due to the "continual challenge to cost-effectively source organic ingredients."

In other words, you're more concerned with profits than quality. You just told my family that if we want to enjoy your product it has to be with pesticides in it.
How is this progress?

We bought Weetabix BECAUSE it was organic, I can't imagine eating it now, who knows what's in it.

Sadly, my family will no longer be purchasing Weetabix.

We're scouring the area for stores that have some left but I fear we won't find any. Between myself and my son we went through a box a week. It's true that you don't appreciate a good thing until it's taken away.

I want my Weetabix back!!!!!!!

Dear Nigel,

Thanks for your comment regarding our Organic Weetabix.

Unfortunately, the organic version of Weetabix has been discontinued. While we agree it was a great organic product, it just did not gain enough popularity to sustain itself.

We do have an all-natural Weetabix product that we have been making for many years for our Canadian market that's now available in the US.

I can also suggest you try our Weetabix Crispy Flakes & Fiber, which is made with organic ingredients. If you give me your snail mail address, I can mail you a discount coupon so you can try it.

We very much appreciate your feedback and thank you and your son for being Weetabix fans.

Sincerely.

Jacquie

I have always bought organic weetabix but now can't find it. The weetabix available now does not say organic. Why? I have always bought it at Whole Foods before and would like to keep buying it as I eat it every morning for breakfast!

Dear Susan,

I would like to know where I can purchase oatibix. I went to the barbarabakery website and don't see it. I live in the USA and my 1 year daughter loves it.

Dear Trusha,

Thanks for letting us know about you & your daughter's appreciation of Oatibix. We're sorry to say that Oatibix has been discontinued. Despite its fabulous nutritional profile, Oatibix just didn't gain enough popularity to sustain itself.

If you would like to try our Weetabix cereal, I'd be happy to send you some coupons.

Thanks again for reaching out to us: We very much value your feedback.

Sincerely,

I have not been able to buy Weetbix for the last month at any of the stores I frequent...Publix and Trader Joes. Any reason for this?

Dear P. Berry,

Thanks a bunch for writing us at Weetabix to find out where you can buy Weetabix in Cumming, GA.

Our sales manager says Publix definitely carries Weetabix - we did have a UPC change recently, so that may contribute somewhat to a lag in product finding its way to Atlanta. Whole Foods Atlanta carries Weetabix as well.

Trader Joe's does also carries Weetabix, so please check with your local store.

If you give me your snail mail address (no P.O. Boxes), I will be happy to mail you a carton of cereal so (after you finish eating it), you can take it to Publix to share the new UPC code with Publix & Trader Joe's...

Thanks for being a fan and writing us!

Sincerely,

Jacquie

I am a fan of Weetabix and I found Oatibix in the UK but not in my local grocery store. I want to know: Is the taste of Oatibix different from Weetabix?

Hi Bo,

Yes, the Oatibix taste is different from Weetabix. Weetabix has a toasty wheat flavor and crunch while Oatibix has an oat-y flavor and is kind of chewy, somewhat like a mix between oatmeal and oat cakes...does that help?!

About 1996 I purchased some Weetabix that had a recipe for Weetabix chocolate chip cookies. The little cookies puffed up nicely. A recipe I recently Googled produced thin, flat cookies. They tasted OK, but could you publish that old recipe again?

Hi Edward,

Thanks for being such a loyal Weetabix fan. We have a couple of Chocolate Chip recipes - let us know which one you prefer!

Weetabix Chocolate Chunk Cookies
4 crushed Weetabix
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup butter or spread
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Mix together Weetabix, soda, salt, flour and sugar. Cream butter and sugars and beat in vanilla and egg. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by tablespoons onto ungreaased baking sheet at 350 F for 12 minutes - slightly longer for crisp cookies. Cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to plate. Makes about 32 cookies. Cookies freeze well in airtight container. Substitute 1/2 cup of nuts for chocolate chips for a nutty cookie.

Or try...

Weetabix Wholegrain Chocolate Chip Cookies with Apricot
Ingredients
4 crushed Weetabix
2/3 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
2/3 cup dried apricot, diced
3 tablespoons reduced fat margarine
2 tablespoons golden syrup (substitute tapioca syrup, honey or agave - this is from the UK, after all!)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup boiling water
Mix together Weetabix, rolled oats, flour, sugar, chocolate and apricots until well combined.
Place margarine and golden syrup in a small saucepan and heat gently until melted.
Mix baking soda and water together then pour into margarine mixture. Add to dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Place tablespoons of mixture onto baking trays lined with baking paper. Bake at 325 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. Cool on trays before serving.
5. If you prefer your cookies chewy, cook them for 15 minutes. For crunchier cookies, leave them in the oven for 20 minutes.

We truly hope you enjoy your Weetabix cookies in the best of health!

I noticed Weetabix on a store shelf recently, thought it looked interesting and worth a try. Oh, thanks for making this stuff! I enjoy a breakfast of crumbled Weetabix with sliced banana, blueberries, and strawberries mixed with Greek yogurt and a little honey.
Sometimes, when I find myself wanting a snack before bed I'll eat a crunchy Weetabix biscuit with some warm milk or hot cocoa.

Dear Beth,

Thanks for writing! We're happy you found Weetabix and that you're enjoying its wholegrain goodness for breakfast and snacks.

As I'm allergic to milk, the only cereal that I've found easy to eat is Weetabix & now Oatabix, which I spread butter over.

Terrific suggestion, Alastair.
Thanks for your comment!
