TFA Strawberry (Ripe) is being made by a different flavor manufacturer than it had been previously. We are not discontinuing Strawberry (Ripe).
We lost our primary manufacturer for Strawberry (Ripe) in October and are simply having it made by a different company. To be transparent, we alerted many of our customers who would be affected the most by sending the flavor from the new manufacturer along with a letter explaining what was going on. Nearly all of our flavors are made by multiple manufacturers, so this is nothing new.
Strawberry (Ripe) from the new manufacturer has undergone thorough âtriangleâ flavor tests and passed. A Triangle test is where two samples of the original manufacturerâs product are compared with the new manufacturerâs product. If the taste tester cannot identify which sample is different, then the flavor is a match. We were completely satisfied with the results of our Strawberry (Ripe) testing.
If you have questions, we invite you to reach out to the owner directly via phone. (831) 345-8311
Thanks mate, not good news⌠but still, letâs hope for the bestâŚ
Better then INW anyway, that they did it without telling anyone⌠Gabriela GabrielaâŚ
That is hilarious! I mean I get having multiple manufacturers and all. A lot like assembly houses. But it all comes down to Mr. Taster? I hope they have insurance on his or her tongue. Iâd love to see tongue qualification testing. Mr. Taster please report for re-certification.
DO NOT âŚI repeat DO NOT report to @SmilingOgre for âre-certificationâ!! When he expresses interest in âexactly how do you taste?â âŚitâs not what you think!
