THREE YEARS???
If food mfrs cannot make changes in a short amount of time, they deserve to go under.
After college I worked for a big name food manufacturer. Every day they had a schedule of what was running on the line that day. Sometimes it was a product for a smaller manufacturer that hired us to produce it for them according to their specifications. The entire system was efficient, fluid, and surprisingly small and compact -- not some behemoth that could not adapt to change quickly. .
Changing a few ingredients is not that hard, particularly with something like COLORING that has no effect on the taste of the product.
That's just ridiculous 🙄
These people 🤦
