Yes, yes, yes. I used to buy a certain brand of fish sticks and all of a sudden, they changed their formulation and added milk. I emailed to complain (and they were losing a customer) but all I got back was a form email essentially saying, well, we want it this way. I have made it a habit to double check the ingredients of even my most trusted and popular brands. You just never know. Fortunately, here in Canada, most bread is milk free and as a result, I am getting lazy in checking bread! It was such a challenge in Michigan to find milk free bread. If ever you are in Canada and need margarine, Fleischmann's is also made here and is dairy free; and any store that carries PC (President's Choice) brand should carry their PC Celeb margarine, where they have a lactose free one (good for baking) and a low cal one (not so good for baking), which are tasty and safe and when not on sale, still reasonably priced.
