However, some customers have complained about a recent formula change, which has resulted in a significant difference in taste. They found the new formula unpalatable, gritty, less fresh, unhealthy, and having flavors as a strange maple syrup or artificially sweetened candy. Some users faced side effects such as feeling nauseous, sick and exhausted, more hungry than usual, or having watery texture. This change has led some long-time customers to switch to other brands, and they found it false advertising.
