Milk chocolate recipe was recently changed - a completely different flavor

Fiber supply I have tried several other brands and flavors but this was the only one I found acceptable. And it worked - so well that I had a subscription and was able to save. Until now. The last delivery (this month) has a different wording. I didn't even notice because until you read the labels (and who does that for products they've been consuming regularly for a while?) the bottles look the same - same size, same colour, same brand, but nutritional information is in small print and the ingredients list is different. I noticed this morning when I opened one of the new bottles, although it tasted funny. Other. Not correct. Almost like the diet version of the "original" that I'm used to. I'm one of those people who can tell a huge difference in the taste of regular soda and diet soda - the artificial sugar just leaves this weird (and nasty) aftertaste that I can't get over. I thought it might have expired but when I checked it turned out it hadn't. So I got one of the bottles from my last delivery to compare and noticed the difference. In my photos, last month's shipment is on the left, most recent shipment on the right. They changed the formula (without notifying consumers) to reduce the amount of sugar and calories and slightly increase the amount of fiber. And judging by the taste, they made it with artificial sugar. Which might be good for those who aren't sensitive to the taste of artificial sugar or appreciate calorie reduction. But since I can feel a difference (not a good one) and have used it to increase nutrients and calories for a growing person, it no longer works for me. I am frustrated - both because I am now back at the drawing board looking for a decent solution to my problem, and perhaps even more so because Be sure has attempted to implement this change without notifying consumers or announcing the change. misleading in my opinion.

Pros
  • Ready to drink
Cons
  • Mild
