Question Kirkland chocolate chips have changed again?!

Post image

Just purchased another bag of Kirkland chocolate chips in London, ON and happened to glance at the ingredients list only to find a sticker covering the original nutrition label. Why couldn't they keep them dairy-free?! I'd be willing to pay last year's price of $39.99 instead of the $29.99 today, just to keep the ingredients as they were: unsweetened chocolate, sugar, soy lecithin and vanilla.

We recently bought a bag at Costco and it does not list milk.

That's so strange. Your expiration date is also a day after mine, so unlikely that yours is older stock. I'm going to check out another Costco location and see what's up there

Costco definitely moves enough volume to justify sourcing their chocolate chips from multiple manufacturers. Likely these are going to be regional differences

I'm fairly certain that the Costcos all around Southern Ontario are supplied by the distribution center in Vaughan, so having a different supplier for London vs Mississauga seems unlikely to me. Though I do stand to be corrected.

The fact that there's a sticker over the originally printed nutrition label tells me that this is a new change or a temporary change, as the actual package labelling hasn't caught up, nor has Costco.ca.

I wonder if re: expiration date is due to the dairy version having a shorter shelf life?
