<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I received this from Duncan Hines, I assume others that responded to them may have as well received this, but I thought I would forward it on to everyone anyway. We appreciate your concern on the addition of the Malt Syrup to the Duncan Hines Homestyle Vanilla Frosting. There was a change to the Vanilla Frosting, but we are in the process of reformulating the Frosting and the Malt Syrup will be removed. This change will take several months before it will be available on the shelf. Thank you again for your concern and please feel free to contact us if any further information is needed.
