The total carb count hasn't changed per serving, but if you're very strict about avoiding any kind of sugar or starch, you'll want o find an alternative to this product. Unfortunately, I've tried other brands and didn't care for them. Lesson learned: Always read the labels on the food you buy, even if it's an old trusted product.
