As of August 31, Yamazaki Nabisco, a subsidiary of Yamazaki Baking, has stopped manufacturing the biscuits "Ritz" and "Oreo." It will be sold from Mondelez Japan from September 12th, and since "Ritz" will be manufactured in Indonesia and "Oreo" will be manufactured in China, there are opinions on SNS that "the taste may change". . I got the Mondelez Japan version of "Ritz" and "Oreo" one step ahead of the release, so let's compare them with the Yamazaki Nabisco version.
Yamazaki Nabisco's "Ritz" and "Oreo" and Mondelez Japan's "Ritz" and "Oreo" I tried to eat and compare |
Slightly salty cracker "Ritz"
Let's start with "Ritz". "Ritz" has changed the product logo, and the new version has a three-dimensional effect. The slogan of the old version was "The world's favorite delicious Ritz cracker," but it was changed to "The world's long-selling Ritz cracker."
Left is the old package, right is the new package |
In terms of raw materials, "wheat flour", "vegetable oil", "sugar", "high-fructose corn syrup", "malt extract", "salt", and "expanding agent" are the same, but the new version "Lecithin (derived from soybeans)" and "antioxidants (V.E, V.C)" are added. Soy was added to the allergen label.
Old version on the left, new version on the right |
Open the package and eat. The size is almost the same, and something like streaks can be seen on the surface of the new version. The color is darker than the old version. Compared to eating, the old version has a firm texture and a buttery flavor. The new version was light and crisp like pie crust.
Individual packaging (old on left, new on right) . Both contain 13 pieces |
Old version on left, new version on right . The old version has a darker color, and the new version has streaks. |
When asked to compare the tastes within the editorial department, "the new version has a lot of salt", "the old version feels like a snack, but the new version can be eaten like a snack", and "the old version It has a familiar taste.”
Old version had a firmer texture and a buttery flavor there is |
The new version was crisp with a light texture |
Oreo, which has many fans for its chocolate and vanilla flavors
What about the other Oreo? Here, "Original" has been added above the product logo, and "Cream Sandwich Cookies" below has changed to "Milk's Favorite Cookie". The package is also designed to look like a cookie jumping into milk. The katakana notation "Oreo Cream Sand Cookie" has also been changed to "Oreo Vanilla Cream".
Left is the old package, right is the new package |
In terms of raw materials, the "fructose fructose liquid sugar" that was in the old version is gone, and "antioxidants (V.E, V.C)" are added. Also, "corn flour" was changed to "corn starch".
Old version on the left, new version on the right |
When I opened it, there was almost no change in appearance. Almost the same color and shape. Even after eating it, I didn't feel much change.
Individual packaging (old on left, new on right) . Both contain 9 pieces |
Old version on left, new version on right . no difference in appearance |
Almost no change in cream Unable to see (old version on left, new version on right) |
However, when asked to compare the tastes within the editorial department, "the new version is more refreshing", "the old version of the cookie is more moist", " The old version has a relaxing snack, and the new version has a fresh flavor." I don't know if those who know will know, or if I'm just incompetent, but some people seem to know the difference.
The old version is said to be slightly moist and sweet |
The new version of the cookie has a strong crunchiness, and it has a refreshing taste compared to the old version. |
When I compared the two, I couldn't find a clear difference. When asked about the taste of the new product, Hiroshi Morishige, Category Manager, Mondelez Japan Marketing Headquarters, said, "We improved the Ritz and Oreo recipes owned by Mondelez International to suit Japanese tastes. Research It's the taste that we arrived at after repeated development and consumer surveys."
Mondelez Japan handles “Ritz” and “Oreo” as well as “Premium” crackers. On the other hand, Yamazaki Nabisco changed its company name to Yamazaki Biscuits on September 1, and released the cracker "Levain" that applied the technology cultivated in the manufacture of "Ritz". Next time, I would like to eat and compare “Ritz” and “Levain”.
