isn’t this more important than the Taliban getting nuclear weapons?
Oh hell no! I loves my Cheerios!
So do I! Honey Nut is my favorite!
Oh good G-d!!!! While they’re at it go after Quaker Oats for their cholesterol lowering claims on oatmeal.
Because some people are naturally stupid (aka the Dems) the Lord Protector must see to these people are saved from themselves.
Meanwhile I’m having my bowl of Cheerios every morning and we’ll see the results next time I’m at my private non-government employed physician.
Go get ‘em Bambi! Take on those evil rolled oats! They’re destroying America! Cheerios must be stopped!
Next, it’ll be Shredded wheat and Quaker Oats.
Next comes Maypo and Wheaties.
You have been warned, America. No more breakfast cereal for you!
The Food and Drug Administration scolded the makers of Cheerios about the way they promote the cereal's health benefits. The FDA sent a letter of warning to General Mills accusing them of making unauthorized health claims.
Current boxes of Cheerios are touting what the company calls exciting news -- the cereal's ability to help lower cholesterol 10 percent in one month.
. . .
According to a letter from the FDA General Mills' advertising violates the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The agency said claims that Cheerios ingredients can lower cholesterol within a certain amount of time, all while providing cancer-fighting and heart-healthy benefits, essentially makes Cheerios "a drug" by their definition. And no drug in this country can be legally marketed without an approved new drug application.
. . .
People CBS 2 HD spoke to say this dispute over the cereal's health claims won't change how often they buy or eat Cheerios.
. . .
The FDA gave General Mills 15 days to explain how it will correct the statements on Cheerios boxes.
In a statement issued Tuesday, General Mills said this dispute is over language, not science. The company pointed out that the FDA'a complaint doesn't actually question whether Cheerios can help lower cholesterol levels -- it only talks about how the health benefits are advertised.
The List, ping
I know, let’s let Obama run the company.
FUBO, leave my O’s alone!!!
The FDA doesn’t like General Mills’ approach to advertising the facts-—namely, that Cheerios, made from oats and high in soluble fiber, reduces cholesterol, up to 10% in one month.
Well, that makes it a ‘drug’, and the FDA gets to boss around makers of drugs, right?
Doesn’t matter that it’s true, or anything, and that it is patently a food, not a ‘drug’.
Chicago politics controlling DC. Be prepared for more ludicrous shakedowns. This is nothing but a pay to play system.
Cheerios is a drug? I’m an addict?
LOL, seriously, I have just about met my limit with this BS.
Cheerios VS. Cheery Che.
Since their stock is up, I’m assuming that they didn’t donate heavily to Zer0, thus this stupid a$$ stuff.
