Oh no. Don't say this. Is this by accident the old formula? Do the ingredients list oxygen bleach and a bleach activator? Can you post a pic of the bag, with the ingredients list? If so, I can tell you if you got the current (good) formula, or the last/old formula. Thanks.

So I don't know which ingredients would be the oxygen bleach or the bleach activator but both packages look exactly alike . . . including "NEW enhanced formula" on the front. Ingredients are exactly the same. Tell me how to post a pic of the bags (still have the old one) and I will.

Same story here. I had no problems w the smaller 24ct bags. I ordered a 60ct. (Is that the one you got too?) smells off. Weird. They look different too but same "new" packaging.

Maybe just older. Most people may just get the 24 bags hence those being fresher and others older.

Kpyeatt do the ingr list percarbonates?

miami - yes, I got the 60 ct bag from Amazon. The previous bag I had was the 24 ct. Did you get yours off Amazon too? And have you used it yet? If so, what's the verdict? Mine just doesn't smell anything like the 24 count. Wondering if I should return.

mama - here are the ingredients:

sodium carbonate peroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, sodium citrate, sodium metasilicate, tetraacetylethylenediamine, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, fragrance, c9-11 pareth-6, hydrated silica, citric acid, protease enzyme blend (subtilisin), lipase enzyme blend, alpha-amylase enzyme blend, polyvinyl alcohol

Looks to be the newest GG and does have the TAED bleach activator.

maybe it's just old then. maybe i'll send it back to amazon.

This has been such a good product. Hope they have not messed it up. I got a new 24 bag of lavender/vanilla and noticed a slight ammonia smell thats a bit different. But same result. BTW gg has a website gghome and they send the occasional coupon. Might call and ask if there has been a reformulation. Fingers crossed this is OK.

Roc, I sure hope they haven't messed it up either. I LOVE the lav/vanilla. I actually visited their website last night and I plan on calling them today. When I find out, I'll report back. Thanks for the coupon tip : )

Partial Update - I called Grab Green and explained the "issue". She said that they use different "strains" or "lots" of lavender and this is what is probably going on with this new bag I received. She told me it's probably not old product. Had me read the black numbers on the back of the bags and said she would check into it and call me back. That was 2 hours ago. Haven't heard back yet. We'll see.

Just heard back from GG. So they compared the lot number on my 60 ct bag I just received to the same lot they have there in stock. She said that their bags look just as I described to her. She confirmed that it's the crop of lavender that was used. She said that the weather makes a difference as far as the color/smell of the lavender so it probably won't always be the same. I haven't tried the new bag yet but I'm hoping I get the same results/smell as I did before with the 24 ct.

Kpetyatt-I also ordered this 60ct bag from amazon. We probably got the same batch. I'm not sending them back as I've already gone thru probably 1/2 the bag. That's very interesting about the different strains of lavender but makes sense I guess. I'll keep ordering as I love this detergent, but that's weird.

I'm sorry didn't answer all your questions. They definitely smell different and left a different scent to the finished laundry.

miami - I'm a bit disappointed that it left a different scent to the laundry : ( All my laundry is done so I can't test it yet. But yeah, I thought the different crop of lavender thing was kinda weird too. Seems like there'd be more consistency to a product like this. GG was very nice. They offered to send me a 24 ct free of charge so I accepted the offer. Kinda wondering what this 24ct bag is gonna be like.

There are different types of lavender however this sounds more like GG changed their source for lavender which could be a different type. Maybe they found a different source was cheaper or easier to get. Lots of reasons they could be using a different type. This would not please me. If I liked a scent of something and it changed I'd be very irritated. Its not good for business. keep the scent consistant if you use english lavender continue doing so, if its french lavender continue. You don't see other manufactures doing this. Ok P&G does lol.

Agree mamap what's up w product consistency. Kind of disappointed.

mama - I'm willing to bet you are EXACTLY RIGHT - changed their source and using a different type. The explanation about the weather sounded suspect to me ????? Really??? People want a product they can rely on to be consistent. They want to know what they're getting each and every time they purchase. This is definitely not good for business. We'll see what the outcome is after I use it. If it's not the same or I just don't like it, back to Amazon it'll go and I won't be purchasing anymore. Very disappointed.

I grow several kinds of lavender and there are definitely different types and it can be affected by the weather or even soil in the smell and strength. It might also depend on whether you use the leaf or the flower or both.

Looking on their website it looks like they use oils from two kinds of lavender, patchouli, eucalyptus and maybe a synthetic vanillin for the vanilla.

I also used to work in a food lab and we bought lime and lemon oil. One of the tests we ran on lots they were considering buying was running it made into product against a standard to see if it could be picked out so it would be consistent. Maybe they don't do that and it might be really hard/expensive to do that to all of the components and when you mix them, it might be much harder to control. It might be more like wine. "2016 was a great year". I think I have to try this though. I have the vetiver and water lilly and like those.

wekick - very helpful info. I guess I should've stocked up on the "2016 was a great year" bags. At least I know now.
