Are Kraft and Mondelez the same company? They now own British chocolate company Cadbury and have received a lot of criticism for changing recipes there (amongst other things). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/features/7-ways-ca...
... and this is why people with severe allergies always always always read the ingredients list, even if the packaging has not changed. And always carry emergency medication.
At least in Brazil, every time the formula of a product, or the quantity in the package, is changed, companies have to disclose that on the packaging.

Isn't doing this illegal? Since it makes people think they're buying the same product they always have but it has actually changed. At least in Brazil, every time the formula of a product, or the quantity in the package, is changed, companies have to disclose that on the packaging.

Would be a cool app project. "Scan" each label as you put it in your cart, and see if it rejects it or not
The problem is, the ingredients can change without the UPC code changing. You would need manufacturers to purchase and use unique UPC codes for each version of their food formulations.

I don't remember new Pepsi, but new Coke had a huge backslash which lead to pulling the product off the market, reversing back to original formula. And if I remember correctly, this original Coke, dubbed Coca-Cola Classic saw much better sales than the same coke did before that. Making people wonder if the new coke fiasco wasn't intentional.
They didn't actually use the original formula. They used the opportunity to switch from Cane sugar to Corn Syrup. Since people didn't have the ability to taste the difference any more, no one noticed. This let them cut the cost of a major ingredient which then translated into profit. They gained a LOT more from the failed product.
