Mexico wants to improve children's diets, so it seized 380,000 boxes of Corn Flakes, Special K and other Kellogg's cereal, claiming the boxes had cartoon drawings on them
Mexico has seized 380,000 boxes of Corn Flakes, Special K and other Kellogg’s cereals, claiming the boxes had cartoon drawings on them in violation of recently enacted laws aimed at improving children’s diets.
While Corn Flakes or Rice Krispies are clearly not the worst thing Mexican children eat, the laws prohibit food companies from using marketing tactics that might appeal to children, like cartoons or mascots.

Mexico’s consumer protection agency also said Friday that the cereal boxes did not clearly state nutritional values like calories, fats, salt or sugar, or didn’t have the proper warning signs for levels of those ingredients that are considered excessive.
Agents raided 75 sales outlets and seized pallets of Kellogg's products there, but the vast majority of the seizures were carried out at a warehouse north of Mexico City.

Is Cholesterol misspelled on purpose?
They send us marijuana and cocaine and we send them cereal.
Even Mexico is sticking Biden’s nose in it. They wouldn’t have done this if Trump were in office.
Went ro Trader Joe yesterday for their organic version of rice crispies. Not a box in sight. Asked an employee and he said the employees of the company decided to go on strike.
We agreed that it could not be a stupider time to strike. No store in my ‘hood has any version of Rice Crispies.
Sux.
“Just like the trains in CA being raided of their amazon boxes...”
Very perceptive, Grace.

After I had my gall bladder removed, my poop was very greasy but the Buds fixed it. Also, the fiber is good for the intestines, too. I've been using it for about 15 years. After my colonoscopy I asked the doc what he saw and he said "Nothing, I'll see you again in 10 years."
The parents are the ones buying the cereal, not the small children.
Where is beheading by drug cartels on their health scale?
This is just a shake down.
I always hear that.
How does that square with people from 25 different nations traipsing thru to everything free in America???
Yes!! Our super knowledgeable and benevolent government gave us the food pyramid.
Have 50 servings of carbohydrates a day!! For your health!!
Good! Hopefully anti American Kellogg’s loses money.

Here’s a link for you, a funny movie about the good Dr. Kellogg.
