Favorite soup randomly went up 100 calories with no ingredient list change
Currently mourning the Progresso Southwest-Style Black Bean Soup 😭. The worst part is I don’t notice a change in the ingredient list so it might’ve been 310 all along.

That’s so frustrating when they change the recipe

Worth sending an email to ask!

The ratios can change. Can’t quite make out the full can nutrition facts, but on per-serving you can see the carbs went up, along with dietary fiber. Also possibly they got a more (or maybe less!) accurate measure.

At least the fiber went up!

the only thing that changed is the fiber….is it possible that they started counting insoluble fiber (non absorbable) calories like they do in europe?

I work in the food industry. In New Zealand and Australia it’s required to have ingredients percentages listed for the “characteristic ingredients”. I’ve never considered that other countries didn’t have this as a legislative requirement.

Half of the gain is clearly the carbohydrates at 12g/can increase (can’t see the label on the old can, but 6g per serving difference of what you can see). At least it’s offset by the 3g/serving increase in fiber. Rest of just may be test batch difference, methodology, or contamination of testing equipment since the next suspect would be the fat but it supposedly hasn’t increased.

Oh no. I buy this all the time (just checked the pantry and mine still say 210). I wonder if they found out 210 was a mistake or if they reformulated. 🙁

It’s gotta be more beans with how much the fiber skyrocketed.

If you’ve been eating it all this time and overall weight loss was on track, I wouldn’t panic too much. I know 100kcal can be a huge margin for those of us with low TDEE, but this is still a really nourishing low cal meal.
Just log it what it says on the new label and enjoy your soup

Carbs/fiber went up too. Probably increased the quantity of the current ingredients which altered the overall calories.
