    Please tell me what is the nutritional value... vitamins? minerals?

    Your syrup is brown rice and water.  What makes it syrup-y?
    I like it.

    I like the product but would love it in a squeeze top container.  Less mess.

    what is the shelf life of unopened sweet dreams?  i found a bottle in my pantry that i bought a few years ago, & now that i am gluten free i need some for a recipe. there is only a code, no expiration date.

    The shelf life for the Sweet Dreams syrup is 18 months. The code that's on the package is a Julian Date code and we have a calendar on our website that will help you figure out the day the syrup was produced. You can view it at http://www.lundberg.com/Info/Date_codes.aspx.

    Hi, I found the following information concerning brown rice syrup:

    Brown rice syrup, also known as rice syrup, is a sweetener derived by culturing cooked rice with enzymes (usually from dried barley sprouts) to break down the starches, then straining off the liquid and reducing it by cooking until the desired consistency is reached. The final product is 45% maltose, 3% glucose, and 52% maltotriose.

    I was wondering if this holds true for your syrup? If it is cultured using an enzyme like dried barley sprouts, then it would not be a gluten-free product.

    I just want to be sure of the product before purchasing since I have celiac disease.

    Thank you

    I second the squeeze-top idea!  Would love it

    @Amy - for our brown rice syrup, the rice is cultured with fungal enzymes NOT barley sprout enzymes so it is Gluten-Free :)

    My jar has totally hardened (it's been around for a while). Is there a way to soften it back up again?
    Thanks.

    We love this syrup!
    We would also love a squeeze top version.  I've been funneling it into a squeeze bottle and it's a messy project.

    There have been several reports linking rice and rice syrup to high cancer causing arsenic levels, have your products been tested?  What are the levels?  Love your product but need to know.

  11. Nancy 16 Feb

    Do you test this product for arsenic?

  12. Bozena 16 Feb

    What can you tell about arsenic amount in your syrup?
    All over the news it is a big issue right now.

  13. christina 17 Feb

    Is there a recall on this product?

  14. Kim 17 Feb

    Do you have any information regarding arsenic in this product? Although the news is general and not brand specific, it sounds like all syrups contain it.

  15. Peter Huff 17 Feb

    I notice that your Sweet Dreams brown rice syrup has a label that says "distributed by" Lundberg Family Farms. This is compared to your rice label which says "manufactured by".  Does this mean you do not make the actual syrup base, or is it your base processed and packaged by someone else?

  16. Lundberg Family Farms 21 Feb

    Hi everyone, thanks for your questions regarding the recent study of Arsenic in rice. We never have and currently do not test our products (including the syrup) or rice fields for Arsenic. In light of this study, we have assembled a team that is looking into testing. Until then, we have created a page on our website that is dedicated to this topic: www.lundberg.com/Info/Arsenic.aspx. You can see the action steps our team is working on as well as the peer-reviewed Arsenic data they are reading. There is not a recall on this product and we stand behind it's safety, nutritional value, and health benefits. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.

  17. Lundberg Family Farms 21 Feb

    Hi Peter, very good question! We use a co-packer to process and package our rice syrup. This means we send them our rice, they then process, can, & box it all up, and then send it back to us to distribute. Products like our raw rice, couscous, risottos, & rice cakes are all produced in-house so they are labeled as "manufactured by".

    Hi,
    Im wondering if you have had your brown rice syrup tested for its Glycemic Index.
    It wwould be helpful for you to have it tested by an independent lab aand verified, then posted online,
    for those of us who watch our consumption of high GI foods.
    Thanks fr your consideration--
    AMJ

    Hi AMJ, At this time our Brown Rice Syrup has not been tested for its Glycemic Index. That information would indeed be helpful to our consumers though, thank you for the suggestion.
