 Delicious Xylitol! The best tasting xylitol I've ever had!Aug 26, 2008
By healthyfoodlover

Emerald Forest Sugar makes the all-time best xylitol. I've used it for more than a year and it definitely tastes like sugar, pure, sweet sugar and nothing else. It's also pharmaceutical-grade (not food-grade, like some other companies sell) which means it goes through additional filtering to insure a sweeter, cleaner, healthier xylitol. Call the company and they'll send you free samples - just ask.

 Poor customer serviceAug 14, 2008
By kalyson
I ordered some xylitol and erythritol products from this company and found some of them had a very, very strange, foul smell. Kinda like mothballs. They get some of their products made in China (the erythritol, apparently), so I called the company with my concerns, worried about possible contamination. I waited politely while the receptionist asked the CEO if I could have a refund just for the strange smelling items (even though it is listed on the web site as refundable). She came back and said, yeah, they'd take it back this once, but they would never accept another order from me again. Next she started to chastise me for ordering more than one of the same thing since I'd never ordered from them before. (Note: I only wanted a refund for the unopened bags of the item in question. I did not ask to return anything else in the order.)
I explained that I had ordered it before from another company, but she interrupted me to say that I should test one item from each new company before assuming the items are the same. Well, in chemistry class we've learned that pure chemical substances should be the same, and it says as much on their own web site. While I was pointing this out, she hung up on me.
I had ordered a wide variety of this companies products - xylitol, erythritol, candies, gums, etc. Some were ok, but the ones that had the bad smell had me worried. I was very surprised when they did not want to stand behind their product guarantee and told me not to order again when I was only returning the items that seemed to be defective.
NOW foods offers the same items that I have ordered and they smell and taste just as sweet as sugar. They are also available here on Amazon.com.
Try them instead -- I am sticking with them from now on.
---------------------------------
-I ordered a wide variety of things, including this item: erythritol, xylitol, gum, candy, etc. It included this item and a lot of other things.
-I asked only for money back on items I tried that were suspect as being defective, and then only for the items I had not opened.
-I asked the manufacturer if the items were safe to consume, given the very odd odor some of them emitted.
-My review concerns primarily the customer service problems I had, as well as the concern with the origin of their products I had ordered in general.
Personally I think it is odd that when I called to return a small part of a rather large order that the customer service rep did not want to honor the guaranteed refund posted on the web site. She literally chastised me for asking to return the items since I had ordered several of the same thing. How was I to know the substance would smell so badly? She said I should have just ordered one. What difference does it make since I had only opened one? The others were perfectly sealed. She said she would take them back after much ado, and then said they would never accept another order from me. (Like I would anyway after that).
I stand by my post. If you have had a good encounter with their customer service, I am happy for you. That was not my experience. They should not post a guaranteed refund when they don't mean it.

Great alternative to sugarJul 24, 2009
By J. Miller
"multi-user"
I discovered Xylitol by accident and will never go back to using sugar in anything I make or drink. I use it in coffee, tea and it is used exactly like sugar in baking and even sprinkling over fresh strawberries. A plus is that studies have shown it is actually good for your teeth and bones, as well as having a very low glycemic-index value, so it is even great for diabetics. This is a natural product, not like the chemical concoctions currently being sold as artificial sweeteners.
Tastes and smells perfect to meDec 30, 2008

I have used Emerald Forest Xylitol Sweetener from these packets and from the 2 lb. cans from Amazon for six months and it tastes and smells just fine to me. No "foul smell" whatsoever--in fact, it smells sweet to my proboscis. I have purchased other brands in the past and this product is identical to them if not better, as far as I am concerned.
