Orgain was created by a cancer survivor because he couldn't find clean protein shakes on the market.

He created his own company with all clean and organic ingredients, natural sugars, and using a wide variety of vegetables and fruits.

But sometime around mid 2022, he sold a majority of the company stake to Nestle, of all companies.

Here's one of the articles about it: Nestlé to buy majority stake in protein powder maker OrgainThe deal accelerates the CPG giant's push to grow its health and wellness business while selling parts of its slower-growing food and beverages.

I noticed a change in taste right away, but since the owner had improved the formula two other times over the years, I figured he did it again.

Nope.

The goal of Nestle is to make as much money as possible while not giving a shit about the human cost or what they do to the environment. I can't say for certain, but I'm pretty sure they were behind the changes to Orgain powder.

Now there are several unhealthy sugar substitutes in it, almost none of the vegetables they used to have, and they no longer list the ingredients as clean sourced.

I was thrilled to find Orgain years ago because multiple family members have cancer, but for well over a year I was feeding them this new formula because I didn't realize what happened to the company.

If you use this product, check the ingredients again just to make sure you're still comfortable with what's in it.

Part of the agreement in 2022 included the option to acquire the rest of the company in 2024, so if you use Orgain, keep an eye on the ingredient list since it will most likely change again this year once Nestle fully owns the company.
