I e-mailed Nature's Recipe a couple of weeks ago when I noticed the new batch was darker than the old. They wrote back within two hours (I was much impressed each time I contacted them with questions) to let me know it was a change in suppliers. Why the change in color? It was suggested by someone on the FML that maybe it now has more chicken parts. Maybe. Why not? My kids still love it. Mr. Wylie, my blind "I won't eat anything but Nature's Recipe" 5 year old has not stopped eating. That is a good sign that it is not too different. Debbie F. [Posted in FML issue 3159]
