Companies "Fixing," what wasn't broke in the first place! :/

So, I bought Nestle Bliss Natural Sweet Cream earlier this month. This usually tastes really wonderful, like melted vanilla ice cream, sweetened cream, or sweet milk. It's usually nonfat milk,heavy cream, cane sugar, natural flavors. I tried some of it this month, and it tasted slightly off.. I checked the ingredients and was horrified to read the new added ingredients. "Skim milk, cream, sugar, (Buttermilk, soybean oil, gellan gum)"

This was NOT the original wonderful natural ingredients Sweet Cream was known for. I did some research online and other dissatisfied Customers complained about the new ingredients. One particular dissatisfied Customer said something like,"I put Sweet Cream in my coffee and drank it like I've done so many times before with no problems. This time however, it landed me in the ER with a severe allergic reaction. I am allergic to soybean oil. I checked the ingredients when I got home and was horrified the new ingredients have soybean oil in it. The front cover says absolutely nothing about soybean oil and in fact looks the same as the old bottles(There is actually noticeable differences. . Old bottle label had cream pitcher and a sugar container. New bottle has no cream pitcher and no sugar container and has a splashh of cream and a spoonful of brown sugar). They should have put the new ingredients on the front label so there'd be no mistakes about the new ingredients. "

Nestle admitted they added soybean oil, gellan gum and buttermilk to improve the taste. Dissatisfied Customers replied something like,"We Customers were completely fine with the old taste and didn't expect the new ingredients. In fact, the new ingredients made Sweet Cream taste WORSE, not better. We want the old Sweet Cream back, not this new and unwanted version " Nestle replied something like,"Okay, we might have made huge mistakes with the new ingredients and should have thought harder before doing this.

Many have issues with soy products and it's a cheap cheap oil and the food industry thinks they are doing people a favor with it...balony....it's in so much and hard to avoid. Unless a person reads labels before and does not buy anything with soy in it.

I had a huge problem with soy years ago when it hit the U.S. and it did a bad job on my thyroid...that's one o f it's side effects, damages the thyroid.

Whenever you see the words "New and Improved" on the box, it's nearly a cinch that is just spin meaning ,"we found a way to make it cheaper, and almost as good".

Soy is like cattle feed. The fact that Nestle claims they did it to improve taste just proves how big of fools they believe their customers are.

The real problem here is the corporate business model. How many of their stock holders do you think even care about your customer experience? All they want is their loot. There no longer is a figurehead at the helm with pride in their product. This is true across the board, not just Nestle.

Yep, I don't know what Nestle was thinking putting soybean oil in a Sweet Cream coffee creamer. They're lucky that guy who had a severe soybean allergy and drank the soybean oil by accident because of them didn't sue them for inadvertently landing him in the ER with a severe allergic reaction. He most likely would win a huge settlement against them.

If there would have ever been a lawsuit even attempted, it would NOT have gone anywhere,,, people have allergies to peanuts and to soy stuff.... orive which one, ha ha -- a law firm would have NEVER even taken a case if one was to be attmpted.....

That's grounds for a lawsuit. They put new ingredient Soybean oil ingredient on the back and didn't say anything about it in the front. Guy mentioned he bought the old bottles that didn't have any Soybean oil in it, and he had no idea the new bottles had soybean oil in it until he landed in the ER after putting some of the new Sweet Cream formula in his coffee that contains soybean oil. MOST people would have assumed it was the same as the old bottles (No soybean oil, no buttermilk, no gellan gum). The packaging is only slightly changed(Cream pitchers and glass bottles are gone and replaced by splash of milk and spoon of brown sugar) but the shape is the exact same and the label look is very similar).
