I just saw this posted on a SW group I follow on FB that someone's consultant had passed on:
"The decision to make the change across all three Fat Free Onken products was due to the overwhelming negative response to artificialsweeteners in our recipes coupled with recent Mintel customer research that told us that people are looking for more natural yogurts. We believe that thequality and taste of the product has improved as a result of the recipe.
We developed the "flash" that you can see on the front of the Onken pots (which are being rolled out into the retailers fromnow) so that we could make our shoppers aware of this change to the recipe andcalorie content. Please be assured that before making the change we spoke toSlimming World to make them aware as we know that the recipe with artificialsweeteners is Syn free so that they could alert their members and update theirrecords.
However, I am sorry if this had caused an issue for you and your members and, as requested, please find attached the nutritional valuesfor all 3 new Onken Fat Free Yogurts; Strawberry, Vanilla and Mango & Applewhich I hope will allow you and your members to continue to enjoy our products."
Fat Free Strawberry 450g pot (per 100g) Energy 334kj/79kcal Protein 4.5 Carbohydrate 13.4 of which sugars 12.8 Fat 0.1 of which saturates 0.1 Fibre 0.3 Sodium 0.07 Calcium 123mg
Fat Free Vanilla 450g pot (per 100g) Energy 3315kj/74kcal Protein 4.4 Carbohydrate 12.6 of which sugars 12.1 Fat 0.1 of which saturates 0.1 Fibre 0.1 Sodium 0.06 Calcium 193mg Fat Free Apple & mango Energy 375kj/88kcal Protein 4.4 Carbohydrate 16 of which sugars 15.5 Fat 0.1 of which saturates 0.1 Fibre 0.2 Sodium 0.06 Calcium 125mg
That apparently works out as follows: Vanilla is now 1 syns per 100ml and 4.5 per pot and strawberry is now 1.5 syns per 100ml so 6.5 per pot

That'll be the original recipe. The new pots apparently have a circle on the front with "no artificial sweetener" written in it. Don't know how long they'll take to get to show like :s

Yes thanks we cross posted.
I ran the strawberry one through the calculator and based on that info it was 5.5 syns for the 450g tub, vanilla 5 syns, apple and mango 8 syns

hmm- i wonder if they'll change their minds when their sales go down rapidly after most sw members stop buying their yogs and go somewhere else (like muller!)
silly decision- i don't use lotsa syns on yoghurts!! tsk!
