E.g "Brooklea" Low-Fat Yoghurt 6-packs up until a few months ago were coming from Muller UK in Shropshire. Then they went off the shelves for a bit, and returned but now made by TF Dairy, Telford. The same company are currently making Morrisons own-brand yoghurts.
I suspect part of it is trying to deal with price changes and supply problems caused by the B word.

They change suppliers/quality with little or no warning on the packaging, most times keeping the old packaging !Today I bought some Lidl own brand Floralys Kitchen Towels 4 pack, they came in the same packaging as usual.When I got them home I noticed a "New and Improved" label. Comparing them with the old ones all I can see is that they have changed from 3 ply to 2 ply so not improved at all, definitely feel poorer quality and at the same price.Please Aldi and Lidl change the packaging for these so called New/Improved/Better/Best products that simply aren't so we are pre warned.1

Lidl's Soup in a Cup have had a repackage, and I think the Tomato variety has lost its veggies and croutons.
Lidl's Muesli bars - the no added sugar varieties have been repackaged.
Lidl's Bran Flakes currently on offer at an implausible 45 - 49p. (500g)3 -

Two out of three of those are okay (haven't tried the Chicken).1 -
Wish they add more flavours to their cup a soups. Hate Minestrone with a passion. Sometimes its worth going to the other supermarkets/B&M type places, to get different flavours.

A lot of bruised apples from Lidl at the moment.1

The Aldi oranges from Egypt are both tough to eat and contain a lot of pith/internal skin - good for juicing but not eating.

Noticed on this weeks shop quite a few price increases, not so much on the meat but on veg and treats like chocolate and sweets as well as cold meats.1
