Nestle Criticized On Social Media for Changing Milo Recipe

Nestle, world's leading nutrition, health and wellness company has been bashed on social media after changing the recipe of their famous drink Milo. The chocolate malt drink was added with vitamin D, B3, B6 and B12, while Vitamin A, B1, magnesium and added flavoring were removed from the ingredients list.

Drinkers didn't seem to like the changes made and many have expressed their disapproval and objections to what Nestle did to the chocolate energy drink.

Australia and New Zealand's Milo Facebook page is now filled with negative comments about the new taste of the product, mostly from its long term consumers.

One comment from Sue Trotter says that she's no longer happy with the new Milo, which now tastes like malt and no longer chocolatey. Many similar comments are flooding the page, talking about the disappointing taste of the energy drink.

A comment from Delphy Ferrier states that, "When I found the new milo I thought my milk was off. Milo now tastes like rotten milk. Then I found out that actually the milk was fine its the rank change with the milo."

Due to their rage, some threatened to stop buying and supporting the product. Those who suggested this believe that many will follow suit after tasting the new Milo.

Many are asking the food and beverage company to return the old flavor of Milo. One loyal drinker of the product for 30 years named Gary Youdale gave his advice saying, "I suggest going back to the old version before your customers try other brands and dont come back."

Milo is the world's leading chocolate and energy drink made primarily from milk powder, malt barley, sugar and cocoa. The delicious taste and nutrients of the product makes it a hit among kids and adults alike.

It was first developed in the 1930s with the purpose of providing nutrients to children who receive insufficient amount of nourishment from their daily diet.
