    Had pack today and thought it tasted different to what I expected. A very fatty aftertaste.

    Checked ingredients and they now use hydrogenated coconut oil which is extremely high in saturated fat and now is over 20% fat content.

    Checked online and up to recently they used vegetable oil and less than 14% fat content.

    New taste is yeuch and greasy.

    Did it definitely say hydrogenated coconut oil?

    Coconut oil is used in many cinemas, it's usual melting point is near that of the human body and so is more melt in the mouth.

    Though high in saturated fat is thought to be very healthy by many people, but not the hydrogenated kind. As we have cooler weather here I would not see the need to use hydrogenated.

    Though I think it can possibly be hydogenated and not have trans fats, which are the real nasties to watch for.
