I have been a regular consumer of Patties Gluten Free Lamingtons for many years.
On a recent visit to the supermarket, I noticed the addition of "New Improved Recipe" to the packaging.
On tasting the "New Improved Recipe" I was immediately disappointed. In my opinion, the original recipe was perfect and did not need any "improvement". The new recipe is very different and I, sadly, won't be buying them again.
As you can see below, the ingredients list will show the differences.
Original Ingredients:

cocoa (3%), vanilla flavour, raising agent (500), stabiliser (415).

New Ingredients:
