Hello Shellbell923! We completely understand that you are upset right now about the change made to these products (removal of red stick). We do take your thoughts into consideration and that is why we are passing your concerns along to our quality and marketing teams. We do believe that any changes we make to our products are for the better. We have decided to remove the stick from the packaging due to a potential choking hazard and due to the stick puncturing the packaging, leaving the product exposed. This is to benefit our Consumers and our Company. There has not been any reformulation to the product itself. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
