I find it unconscionable that SE doesn't hold itself accountable and deflects with "apologizing for the error" and that "some batches became diluted." WOW. They either didn't have a quality control process in manufacturing, or they did and were aware of the problems. Both are inexcusable. Unfortunately, nutritional supplements are not regulated by the FDA, and one of a few reasons I don't use them. Thanks for your series and shining a light on these issues.
Yeah, this goes WAY beyond an error in the cooking process. I’m seeing a lot more runners start looking into using real food for refueling since this all broke. 🤓
This definitely changes my willingness to use this product both at aid stations and my own purchases
I know a lot of people were already turned off by the high price. I’m glad someone brought this out into the open though! I hate to think of how many people were under fueled as a result of using these. 🤓
Another great update. Thanks, Heather. Yes, it sounds like they're in the deep stuff. It seems to be a small operation without a lot of resources--they're offering this as a defense--and one that depends on positive vibes to justify its high prices, which they've lost at this point. In any case, if their process control is actually that poor, they shouldn't be selling products for human consumption. But out and out fraud appears more likely.
I’m thinking it all started out close to what they promised, but then they tried to cut corners to simplify the process. Definitely not worth what they were charging, which was why I seldom restocked with Awesome Sauce. It’s going to be a long time for them to rebuild the public trust, if they can at all. 🤓
That is a real scandal! You presented the info in a really clear way thanks, Heather 👍🏻
Spring energy were too expensive to buy in the UK last time I checked so I've thankfully not missed out on any calories! 😅
They’re pretty pricey here as well! Sad to see that it wasn’t worth the price tag! 🤓
I love it, RunningGeekGirl keeping 'em honest. Never tried Spring products. I'm pretty much a GU person. Good to see GU and all the others are pretty much spot on to what is on their label.
It’s been a roller coaster following this story! Glad to see it confirms that other companies are on the level! 🤓
Thank you for presenting the results. That's really interesting! 👍
No problem! This has been fascinating to follow! 🤓
As a precision fuel user, good to know that it what it says it is.
Definitely! I was glad to see so many other brands tested well. 🤓
Very interesting! I've never used Spring Energy, as they were too expensive for me. Nice to see the other brands' labels are accurate.
I’ll admit, I was worried about now other gels would test, but it’s nice to see that they’re consistently testing well! 🤓
