I was so excited when I spotted Polish Farina, which the package said was made from 100% buckwheat. It was in a clear plastic bag with a label affixed. Since Farina made in the U.S. is made from wheat, I decided I should look up the Polish name on the Internet to be sure it was made from buckwheat. Lo and behold, I discovered that it was made from wheat.
I emailed the company to report the labeling error and they called me within a couple of hours. They blamed the label on an outsource company and profusely apologized to me. They said if I ever was in their vicinity, I should tell them I was the Gloria who discovered the mislabling of the Farina and they would give me something for free. Ha! Why don't they just mail me some buckwheat?
Anyway, I'm glad I checked. As usual, let the buyer beware.
