Consumer watchdogs say 'skimplfation,' otherwise known as ingredient changes in foods and beverages is being more and more noticeable amid supply chain delays and shortages.

Many food manufacturers have changed some ingredients in foods and beverages due to shortages, supply chain delays, and rising prices. However, watchdogs say what's called Skimpflation has been happening for years.

In response to hundreds of negative reviews, Smart Balance states on its website, "we are working on getting the old formula back on shelf and consumers can expect to find their old formula on shelf late fall/early winter."Founder Dana McCorvie says several Campbell's soups have changed over the years, including its Cream of Potato Soup.

"There are no longer any almonds noted in the ingredients in this cereal, just organic natural flavor. We just have the flavor of almonds now, instead of the real almonds," said McCorvie. • As of January 2020, all shell and liquid eggs solid in our dairy cases and used in our kitchens now go beyond cage-free and are audited to one of four production systems to meet our Animal Welfare Standards for Laying Hens. This is an enhancement of our 2005 quality standard, where all the shell and liquid eggs sold came from cage-free hens.
