Loading ...Over the past couple of days we received a couple of emails asking for an explanation of our packaging. Questions ranged from the very broad “How do you package my gluten-free cereal?” to “Does the custom cereal that I receive in the mail include the nutrition facts I see on the homepage?” and “What is the purpose of the mix ID on the bag”?
We at Custom Choice Cereal thought that it would be a wise decision to also explain our packaging here on our blog. You can see the front of one of our gluten-free cereal mixes on the right. It shows the individual name that you can give your personal cereal – in this case “UNC Fall 2009″ – below our logo as well as the total weight in ounces in grams.
Now to the more important backside of the bag which you can see on the left. It shows the nutrition facts of your cereal with the % Daily Values based on a 2,000 calorie diet as well as the ingredients that you chose below the nutrition information. That way you always know the nutrition values of the gluten-free deliciousness you are enjoying. It is the same info that automatically updates on our website as you add ingredients to your cereal. The number of servings for each ingredients are displayed in brackets right after the ingredient, i.e. “Apples (2)” means that you added two servings of apples to your mix. 
Finally and most importantly, the mix ID and date of preparation of your custom gluten-free cereal is displayed at the bottom of the backside. Especially the mix ID is important as it allows simple reordering by entering it on our homepage. You also find information on how to contact us at the bottom of the label.
