"Love it!"
"This used to be a consistently wonderful mixture, with a great variety of nuts, safflower seeds, etc. (The use by dates on these were thru Dec 2026) The latest bag received (with a use by date Apr 2027) was nearly all large sunflower seeds, with a lot of debris."

If you can find an older batch, this is a good buy. Otherwise, consider looking for alternatives or verifying the manufacturing dates.
