More than 80,000 consumers have added their names to a petition by food activist and one of Time Magazine’s 2015 ‘most influential people on the internet – Vani Hari (aka Food Babe) – urging Kellogg’s to eliminate synthetic additives from its breakfast cereals targeting children. It’s been done elsewhere, so why not the US?
Consumer Reports tested 85 food items sold at supermarkets and by fast food chains finding potentially dangerous levels of plastic chemicals in 84 of them.
The Kellogg Company has split into two separate, publicly traded companies - WK Kellogg Co and Kellanova - effectively to ‘create substantial value for shareowners’, however, shares of both fell in their first day of trading after the separation.
