Has Nutro been recently reformulated?

I have fed my two cats Nutro for about 10 years and never had a problem. However, recently one of my cats has developed skin issues (but doesn't have fleas) and the other one has developed diarrhea (but has absolutely no signs of being sick). I'm wondering if something has changed in Nutro food that is causing these issues? They are both showing signs that generally come about if I change their food suddenly (which has happened if I run out of their normal cat food and can't immediately get to the specialty store where I buy the Nutro). I'm just baffled that these things are coming about when I haven't changed their food.

I have a new food recommendation from a coworker that I'm going to try before I drag them both to the vet. Just curious if anyone knows anything about a recent reformulation?

Mars bought Nutro 3-5 years ago (iirc) and reformulated shortly after and had wheat added to it.
I've not heard of anything recently but maybe the Nutro rep that post sometimes will know and whether there were any issues. (Though Mars does positive release so a lot of recalled foods are never on store shelves to begin with)

Which Nutro product have you been feeding?? They have decreased the size of the kibble in the Natural Choice 24% and did a package change. The ingredients are the same. My Chester is eating the Natural Choice right now and is doing ok with it.

As far as the itchy skin goes have you ever noticed a problem with the dry heat this time of year for them before? Sometimes that can be the culprit. I have seen that a few times here and there with Chester. Luckily not this year.

The diarrhea is not something I have heard from anyone at all recently with the kibble change in the Natural Choice or any of the the Nutro cat foods. Is it possible they could have gotten into the trash or something outside if they go out? I am sure you thought of that but I just thought I would ask.

I hope they feel better soon. If you have any other questions feel free to private message me or ask on this thread.
