I used to buy this gravy often when the ingredients matched those listed above. I recently ordered a case (for myself and to share with friends) because I could no longer find it locally. The ingredients have changed and now milk is listed as a "natural flavoring." The allergy information has been changed to read: Wheat, Milk. HUGE disappointment!

My husband is a gravy lover with high blood pressure. Hain has nice flavor and no meat fats..and lower sodium than many other gravy mixes. It is lumpfree and very tasty. What more could you ask for in a healthy fast food. Buy with confidence.

My husband is a vegetarian who has not eaten meat since he was 12 years old. He does not even remember what meat tastes like. It is very difficult for the two of us to find a meat substitute that I will enjoy as well, and even harder to find one that I am willing to use instead of the real thing. Hain Gravy Mix is one of those rare gems that I am happy to use. The flavor is authentic and great, and it is SOOO quick and easy to make. Plus, it's a lot healthier (which is worthwhile when you don't have to trade in flavor). This one gets an enthusiastic 5/5 stars. Highly recommended!

As I was transitioning to a vegetarian lifestyle, the very last thing I gave up was meat-based gravy. In the fifteen years of being a vegetarian, I have consumed a lot of vegetarian gravies. Some were good and others downright awful. I recently picked up two of Hain's vegetarian gravy mixes -- one packet of the chicken flavored and one packet of the brown gravy. I tried the chicken flavor today and it was fantastic. I cannot wait to try the brown gravy. I love mashed potatoes and having an excellent gravy is simply joyous for me. I will probably be eating mashed potatoes for the next month.

The gravy cooks up quickly and the only ingredient you need to complete your gravy is water. The packet produces a cup of gravy (four servings total) and, depending on your stove, can take less than five minutes to whip up.

What is a little disappointing to me is that I will not be able to offer this to some of my family members as they are vegan. (This product contains milk.) I also found that you had to be prompt about serving the gravy once off the stove. It can congeal and become lumpy once removed from heat. In addition, a single packet does not yield much product. Due to the tendency of the product to congeal, I did add a little extra water, which made the gravy a little smoother and, naturally, provided a little more gravy.

This gravy mix tastes terrible!, and the powdered onion aftertaste unfortuneately lingers even after a vigorous toothbrushing, but a good mouthwash got rid of it, thankfully. It doesn't mix in water very easy bcause of sticky lumps too.
I want to return the rest of it for a refund.

Our family has used this gravy mix for many years now. We were horrified (a few years ago) to hear that it had been discontinued. To see it here is wonderful. I change the recipe a bit however, I use 1/2 water and 1/2 dry sherry. Makes for a lovely adult gravy. Enjoy.

My family is not fond of mushrooms and I'm vegetarian, so I had a hard time finding a gravy that worked. This one, although very hard to find locally, tastes great (meat eaters and non both agree) and is easy to make. I highly recommend!

I love this product so much, I've ordered it through the "Subscribe & Save" program so I never run out (plus it's even cheaper that way).

When I want a more intense flavor ('cause this is fairly "light" tasting), I combine this with Hain's Brown gravy mix (simply by using one pack of each). Frankly, the combined version is my favorite--lighter than the Brown on its own and richer than the Chicken on its own. It's my go-to, all-purpose gravy recipe. Give it a try!

The flavor of this mix is very good and the thickness is perfect. It always works well for me and I often use the water that I used to steam veggies in for preparing the gravy. Sometimes I saute chopped onion in olive oil and then add the gravy mix and cup of water to that.

This alternative to chicken gravy is fab! It's good on noodles, potatoes, or rice dishes. My non veg. friends love it too. Easy to prepare, fast and good price.
