Food Trivia - #3

Named for the inventors, Forrest and Bruce, this food product was first made for use in the military. For 11 years from 1976 to 1987 one variety of this product was not produced, due to an action by the FDA, even though the FDA action did not effect this particular product!

Focus groups were held to decide the correct proportions for the gradual reintroduction of the banned variety during the Christmas season of 1985.

Name this product.
