We recently completed a thorough review of all Late July products and recipes. As a result of this review, we determined that the optimal recipe for this product includes peanut oil/whey. Because we are fully committed to providing consumers with transparency, clarity and the highest quality ingredients across our snack portfolio, we made the decision to update the front of the packaging and the ingredient statement to reflect the new ingredient.
