I posted this in the gripe thread, but I thought I would put it here in case anyone else uses these chocolate chips.
The other day, I went to buy the Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate chips to make some muffins, and out of habit, I checked the ingredients. The newest ones are now made with whole milk powder. I should have known something was up because they were moved on the shelf to a new location. The previous recipe did not include milk, just the typical allergen warning of *may* contain such-and-such. I can't believe in this day and age of lactose-intolerant people that they would add milk to something that previously had been made without milk. I'm so not happy about this. They will be getting a nasty email from me. I go through a lot of chips because I bake a lot, especially when the weather gets cold. This means I will now have to schlep to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's to find vegan ones. I like Trader Joe's, but they aren't exactly around the corner. Boo.
