My understanding is they were bought out by Mount Aire about a year or so ago, and the name went with the sale. I don’t know all the details, just what I was told by people that work there.
With that said, I don’t buy their products either — because it’s too high-priced.
Your local Gourmet market should have it!
I never paid more than $5. it is a blessing when ever you want to make soup it is there in frige
