What are the nutritional changes?
The KetoCal 4:1 powder recipe has been updated to include:

  1. Reduced levels of saturated fat and trans fat
  2. Added essential fatty acids
  3. Added soluble and insoluble fibres
  4. Upgraded vitamin and mineral profile including increased Calcium and Vitamin D
  5. Now aspartame free

Are there any changes in the appearance of the product?
The new product is darker, coarser and less uniform in appearance, which is a result of removing the trans fatty acids.

Will this affect the nutritional composition of my ketogenic recipes that use KetoCal 4:1 powder?
