Composition of first class Fancy Nut Mix has changed
Flying DTW-DCA this afternoon with an upgrade I started eating my Fancy Nut Mix and it seemed different, but I wasn't quite sure how. I took the empty bag home with me and compared it to a bag from a flight a few weeks ago that I hadn't eaten.
Ingredients:
Few weeks ago
Cashews and almonds roasted in soybean and/or canola oil, salt, honey roasted sesame sticks... (lots of ingredients in multple parenteses).
Today
Cashews roasted in soybean and/or canola oil, salt, soybeans roasted in soybean and/or canola oil, salt, and then it goes on with the sesame sticks....
The weight of the bag is 33% greater -- 28 g versus 21 g in the old mix. Calories now 160 versus 120 before. And protein is up 67%, froim 3 g to 5 g.
We can even buy these on the King Nut www site -- $4.99 for 10 1 oz. bags -- sold as (New!) Northwest Fancy Nut Mix with a note that This new product is on "rotation"-it will change every several months.
