Is this the most-wanted cereal killer? An ex-FDA employee has revealed what he claims is the most harmful breakfast cereal on the US market. Dr. Darin Detwiler, who previously served as a food safety expert for the agency, told the Daily Mail that Kellogg’s Froot Loops is the worst of the bunch, pointing out that the rainbow rings are “heavily processed and contain high levels of added sugars, artificial dyes and preservatives, which are linked to health concerns.” Given the laundry list of bad-for-you ingredients in the bagged cereal, Detwiler says excess sugar is the least odious. A 1-cup serving...

The “highly toxic agricultural chemical” is federally allowed to be used on oats and other grains imported to the US, according to the EWG.

Walk through your local grocery store and you’ll find many Kellogg’s products: Rice Krispies, Pop-Tarts, Pringles, Cheez-Its, Froot Loops, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes, and Special K. Some of the boxes will tell you that they are sweet and delicious, while others might claim to be heart-healthy. What Kellogg's products should tell you is that each sale supports open borders, rioting, and radical leftism. This is an indisputable fact, just like the number of calories in a serving. Each box of Special K that’s sold benefits the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Every conservative knows about George Soros’ support of left-wing...

A 'uterus-shaped' cereal has been launched with the goal of putting conversations about periods on the table. Feminine care brand Intimina developed its raspberry-flavoured 'Period Crunch' to encourage families to discuss menstruation more openly at breakfast. Despite being marketed as womb-shaped, the cereal actually resembles the entire female reproductive system. The wheat-based cereal — a PR stunt which won't actually ever go on sale — is dyed red to mimic the colour of blood. Intimina claims conversations about periods are not 'truly normalised' and it wanted to 'make a statement' about the issue. Although it won't ever be stuck on...

Kellogg raised its 2022 forecast on Thursday, banking on more price increases to help counter the impact of supply shortages stemming from a workers’ strike at the company’s US plants last year and the war in Ukraine.

Chances are, it's never struck you as particularly odd that there's an entire supermarket aisle devoted to nothing but cereal.

But voter ID is a very important thing.” As anyone who has purchased cereal might have noticed, you don’t need to show ID. Still, that didn’t stop Twitter users from milking the president’s comments for laughs.
