 Beware: 75%+ syrup, misleading ingredient infoJul 12, 2009
By Tangent4
I bought a box of these bars as an organic alternative to the usual Joyva sesame snaps that I buy. The date syrup also seemed like a good alternative to sugar and HFCS.
However, when I received the box of sesame bars I was dismayed to realize that the bars are mostly syrup (over 75%)!!
Regardless of the organic ingredients and alternative sweeteners, these are much less healthy than I thought - they're basically sugar with a few sesame seeds thrown in - and they taste that way.
On the Amazon website it lists the ingredients for these Oskri bars as:
Organic Sesame Seeds (49%), Organic Date Syrup (26%), Organic Brown Rice Syrup (25%).
The ACTUAL ingredient list on the package is:
Rice Syrup, Sesame Seeds (23.5%), Date Syrup (12%)
I realize that Amazon has a disclaimer about ingredient lists, but this is a real disappointment!
I would argue that the packaging is really misleading - these aren't sesame bars with date syrup, but rice syrup bars with sesame seeds and only 12% date syrup! I expected a quality product and feel like I vastly overpaid.
Looking at the original (Amazon) ingredient list, I assume that Oskri changed its ingredients to cut costs, but whatever the reason these are neither a good deal, healthy or delicious.
UPDATE:
After writing this review, I checked out Oskri's website and the box that the bars came in - BOTH the website and the box had the old ingredient list (49% sesame seeds) - it was only the bar wrapper that showed the true ingredients of the bar.
Then, I contacted Oskri about the ingredient list issue and the fact that my sesame bars had far fewer sesame seeds than I paid for. I received a very unsatisfactory form email in return - and nothing in response to a second email.
BOTTOM LINE: Do not buy products from Oskri - they seem to have no problem (a) making inferior products and (b) misleading people into buying them and then (c) providing unsatisfactory customer service.
Basically - I wouldn't trust any of their other products to contain the ingredient formulations advertised.

Vegan Organic ChoiceSep 25, 2008
By vegancompassion

Vegan. Organic. Three separate crisp wafers stacked in each package. Similar to peanut brittle, but with the smaller sesame seeds. A great vegan crunchy treat and not overly sweet. Can repackage using snack zip bags if you want to split the package into multiple servings. This review is out there for those for whom this makes a difference. See all of my reviews and the vegancompassion Profile for more great choices. Check out "Vegan Grocery Favorites" and "Vegan Grocery Top Ten" & all the other helpful "Vegan Grocery" Listmania. Your input counts and will be greatly appreciated to benefit the search of others. Thank you.

Way too sweetMay 13, 2010
By Paul Diamond
"Pablo"
I bought these thinking they had a total of 8 grams of sugar in the bar. After ordering them and tasting how sweet they are, I decided to look closely at the nutritional information displayed on the Amazon page and saw that there is 8 grams of sugar per slice, and each bar contains three slices. That would be 24 grams of sugar per bar. The bar packaging says that there's 19.6 grams of sugar per bar. I'm not sure which information to believe, but it's most likely the 24 grams per bar. The sugar is from dates and brown rice syrup, but sugar is sugar, and that amount is way too much sugar for me.
The bars are also crunchy, I was expecting them to be chewy.
