Recently, I bought the Arva Mills Red River multipack special as a birthday gift for my sister. Firstly, let me thank you for resurrecting a staple that was served in our house while growing up in Woodstock, NB. Secondly, unfortunately, the mix/formulation did not meet my sister’s previous experience with the cereal. She was buying it prior to its discontinuation so it is not merely a long time childhood memory of taste and consistency, there was a change in the blending of the cereal.
My understanding was that Arva was working on returning it to the original recipe and I hoped that the recent batch would be closer to the original however, it wasn’t.
I wanted to share this as feedback for you and your milling/processing/formula team so that maybe Arva may revisit and revitalise the Red River formula.
On a positive note, she did donate the unopened boxes to her local food bank.
