Beeno Mellows Strawberry ... Not the Same as it used to be

Every month I buy 6 boxes of 320g mellows for.my 4 dogs which i buy from pick n pay, checkers etc. It is about R75 per box and I know my dogs love this treat however the past 2 months i have seen they making the size of each Mellow smaller and thinner which is not the standard i am used to. I raised this with the manager at one of the stores and they said its how it is made. I notice this as each month I pack every Mellow individually into my dogs airtight containers so they stay fresh and are available in their snack draw. I find this unfair as the product size has changed, colour looks lighter as well in terms of the pink and yet price is spiking high. I wouldnt even know if these are fresh for my kids. This is trult not cool
