@eatlovebird having worked at a big food company, this almost always happens to some degree. not at first, but usually within 2-4 years depending on the business. think about it, a lot of these “health brands” are a fraction of the big food company’s crown jewel billion dollar brands. they are bought for 3x sales meaning they need to triple their sales to return value. when growth stalls, cheap ingredients follow. either to amplify taste or squeeze more margin out of the product. not always the case - i think primal kitchen and hu chocolate have done a great job staying true to their mission but likely racing to make lofty growth expectations set by the big food parent. always read your labels especially if your go-to brand has been bought out. ✌️
