In the US, Ovaltine is made and marketed by Nestle. From their website, http://www.ovaltineusa.com

"Before 2007, OVALTINE was owned by Himmel, and NESTLÉ is not aware of any recipe modifications made by the former company".

I still drink it and it tastes the same as always, but they've added a couple other flavors.

It's also made and sold, apparently, in the UK. Their website, http://www.ovaltine.co.uk, has lots of great historical information, but not much on US production...

1904 - Swiss chemist, Dr. Wander, invents Ovaltine

1909 - Ovaltine is launched in the UK

1913 - The first Ovaltine press ad appears

1919-20 Exports begin to Australia, then to India, South Africa and other parts of the British Empire

1932 - Ovaltine is served to athletes at the Olympic Games

1935 - The Ovaltineys make their first broadcast

1953 - Sir Edmund Hilary uses Ovaltine when climbing Everest

1974 - The Ovaltine 'lady' is reintroduced on new packaging

1997 - Ovaltine Power (Hot Chocolate) is launched

2005 - Max 4 Milk is launched

I believe it's still available in most US grocery stores. From the nutrition label, it's probably a good choice for adding to milk or even smoothies!
