Default Keto Foods out of business?

I've been having a hard time tracking down their shake mix, which is my
favorite, and I noticed the company website is down. In the
google-cached version, it says:

"Please accept our apologies. We are unable to continue accepting
orders. We are promptly crediting credit cards for all orders that have
been placed that we were unable to ship. If you have sent an email or
left a phone message, please accept our apologies as we are unable at
this time to respond. However, KETO Products are still available in
local health food stores across the country or via other on line
vendors.

Since 1998, our team has made an enormous effort to develop and produce
what many consumers and publications have called the best-tasting low
carb foods and snacks. We greatly appreciate the loyalty you have shown
KETO through the years. We are hoping to re-launch our very popular
KETO brand during the first quarter of 05! "

Anyone know the story behind this?
Can anyone recommend any other Splenda-based protein powders?

ISS Research's "Micellar Matrix" is sucralose flavored. However, note
that it's a casein blend, not a whey blend (it has some whey, but is
primarily casein).

Optimum Nutrition's "Any Whey" is an unflavored whey powder that is
great for mixing with other things. I mix a scoop in with flax-o-meal
and it doesn't noticeably change the flavor.

Both can be found at netrition.com. Note that netrition provides the
ingredient lists for most of their foods so you can check these things
yourself ;-)

Likely they are in trouble. I heard commentary in the financial news
regarding many low-carb food producers and their overproduction,
overstocking, and generally peaking production just when demand started
to dimish rapidly......

Other protein powders: Many whey proteins sweetened with Splenda are
readily available.....

Did you try www.vitacost.com or www.netrition.com? Both carry Keto
products. If you sign up with eBates and go to VitaCost through their
website you get a 6% rebate on your purchases.

Netrition is out of stock on the flavors I wanted (choc. and
strawberry), did indeed end up with VitaCost.
