Frito-Lay (not that I buy their products) does that all the time with their chips but the changes are so slight at a time that people don't notice (I was actually taught this by a FritoLay marketer).

Not a problem for me. What i see as a bigger problem is the EU food companies starting to use trangenics food products and not saying so on the labels. The EU has recently opened the door to transgenics products, against the will of most EU consumers. It wonŽt be long untill they allow also transgenic crop seeds, and in a flash we have just as big a problem as Canada does now. Their crops have been over runned by the stronger transgenic species, and their biologic brand was lost. IŽd say that is a bigger worry.
