Ekströms has changed the recipe for its classic Jackys chocolate pudding. The change has sparked strong criticism from customers.
Ekströms Jackys chocolate pudding has been a common dessert in Swedish homes since the 1970s. The consistency is now fuller and softer, says Ulrika Enström, communications manager at Orkla Foods.
Many customers are unhappy. Negative reviews have poured in on the Ekströms website, with requests to return to the old recipe.
Enström has acknowledged the criticism. She writes that Jacky is a classic dessert many have a relationship with since childhood. Orkla Foods Sverige customer service has received 15 comments about the change.
