INGREDIENT LISTS
You may also have noticed that some of our ingredients lists have changed ever so slightly as well.
The majority of our formulas are completely unchanged and those with tweaks are effectively unchanged unless indicated otherwise.
These changes are mostly down to ingredient labelling updates driven by the Brexit process and not due to actual formula changes. This includes minor changes to the order or format in which ingredients are listed or changes to ingredient nomenclature as advised by our suppliers. The majority of our formulas are completely unchanged and those with formula tweaks are effectively unchanged unless indicated otherwise.
