I have noticed a change in taste of all the soups I buy now and whether it's due to the change in salt/sodium content, I don't know. but they leave a bad after taste in my mouth too...........
Weird tasting stuff. Probably cutting corners and using cheaper ingredients. Hubby said the label listed a salt substitute besides using sea salt.
I have a chest freezer so I'll have to make some and freeze it for when I want it.
