I checked the carbs and the ingredients: milk and coconut oil, preservatives. I missed the
Partially Genetically Modified at the store.
I searched the tub wondering why the consistency and flavor is a little off. I think they added the coconut oil to try to cover the strange taste.
Would you eat this? I won't!

In two separate breakthroughs, researchers have revealed that they have successfully created a calf whose milk could be drunk by people suffering from lactose intolerance and a second animal whose milk contains high levels of "healthy" fat found in fish.
The cows are part of a growing effort by scientists to make food and drink products from livestock healthier by genetically altering the animals.
In the latest research, geneticists were able to introduce a gene which causes lactose, the main sugar in dairy products, to break down into other types of sugar that are more easily digestible by humans.
People who are lactose intolerant lack the ability to digest milk properly and can cause stomach problems in sufferers.
The calf, which has been named Lucks by researchers, was born two months ago and is expected to start producing low-lactose milk once it gives birth to offspring itself at around 25 months old.
The scientists behind the development hope to create herds of low-lactose cows that would eventually produce new types of dairy products to be sold in shops in between five to ten years time.
Dr Zhou Huanmin, director of the Key State Laboratory for Bio-manufacturing at the Inner Mongolia University where the cow was created, said: "Ordinary milk contains lactose, while milk produced by our modified cow will have relatively low content of lactose, or even have no lactose.
"Most people suffer the lactose intolerance in varying degree. We are attempting to breed a dairy cow that produce low lactose milk for supplying the market. We hope to commercialise it in the future."
To create the low lactose cow, the scientists injected genes from bacteria-like organisms known as archaea into cells from cow embryos using the technique used to clone Dolly the Sheep.
They created 14 embryos and implanted them into the wombs of surrogate cows. Five calves were born in April this year and three were found to carry the genes needed to create low-lactose milk, although two of them died within 24 hours of birth.
The scientists said Lucks, a modified Holstein dairy cow, was "healthy and strong". They will conduct tests on her milk once she starts lactating to assess exactly how much lactose the milk contains.
