Why would a company go against labeling GMOs if they were so "healthy" for us and didn't require testing? To me, this just means they are trying to hide it. I have learned that 50 other countries require labeling, why not the USA or Canada?? We all care about our food and our children. Forget the nonsense they are trying to convince people to vote no on prop 37 and all their lies that go with it, YES ON PROP 37!! It's our right to know, darn it!

I'm with you! I also read somewhere on their FB page that they are censoring people as well as trying to suppress Prop 37 by giving huge sums of money to defeat it? I don't like that all of those other countries are allowed to know what's in their food but we're not. Shame on you Kellogg's!!

Well, if we're a pro-life, life-affirming country we would label things truthfully and encourage rational thought...

Can somebody tell me, what is going on? First the recall, now GMOs?? I have a right to know what my kids are eating for breakfast!

Profiteering. Fewer standards and quality controls, pocket the difference as "profit".

That seems to be what's going on.

Kellogg's now has genetically modified metal to go with their genetically modified corn, soy, sugar, canola and cottonseed oil. How much worse can it get??? YUCK! The GMOs are heavily doused with RoundUp. The GMO corn makes its own pesticide. Just what we need in our food. Metal, pesticides and herbicides! Kellogg's is already being hit by a national boycott because of their GMOs. Looks like they are having another bad day!

I've heard of GMO's but didn't know Kellogg's used them. They appear so wholesome. I went to their FB page and saw that not only is their customer service poor but they're censoring people's posts as well?

And I have been feeding this stuff to my kids every morning? How can they do this?? I am boycotting all Kellogg products until I learn more about this!

Diannnnnna -

Well, you'd be surprised that some metals are good - and are found in naturally-occurring substances... like Iron, for example... zinc... copper... of course, they're not large enough to rip through one's flesh...

Self-replicating GMO pesticides... I wonder if such things can mutate...

Sarahpuff108 -

Appearances can be deceiving, even to the most observant of people. We're all human.

GMO corn, most likely a product of Monsanto.

That person must be a complete fool! There is no way there would be THAT much metal in the cereal, and not be visible! What he's observing is the magnetic qualities due to the Iron added to fortify the cereal (I'm not joking - how do you think they fortify cereal? They actually use iron powder). So, now we're going to see people all over doing this and thinking they have contaminated product! Try this with other cereals - just make sure to use crumbled bits that aren't too heavy for your magnet to pick up.

Incidentally, problems like this arise from the daily wear and tear on the equipment. There are metal detectors to detect this so the real question is why didn't they catch it in this case?

There has only been one complaint and its likely a very isolated incident - the company is just being super cautious, as they should.

"product"?

We're talking about cereal; must the generic corporate placeholder be shoved in at every turn?

Great points in your second paragraph... maybe the electronic circuit to detect machine problems was defective... or there's no money made in quality assurance and Kellogg's was just doing things on the cheap like how any company would...

Ditto for the third paragraph; it sounds like an isolated case. Kellogg's being cautious is rather a good sign of having some responsibility and taking ownership in the matter...

Just a note. This exact same thing was just performed on a crushed up handful of Total cereal. I don't see this video as being of concern.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but could it be the iron in the cereal being attracted to the magnet?

I'm assuming when they say "mesh fragments" they are talking about larger pieces.
