Kellogg's removes rice grains from Rice Krispies and Coco Pops
Kellogg's has reformulated Rice Krispies and Coco Pops to use flour instead of whole rice, citing changing weather conditions.
Kellogg's has taken rice out of Rice Krispies and Coco Pops. The company cites "changing weather conditions", according to The Guardian.
Rice Krispies now use rice flour in place of rice. Coco Pops now use a blend of rice flour and corn flour. The Guardian reports the change is meant to keep quality consistent.
Kellogg's said the shift reflects the effect of the climate crisis on the quality and supply of certain rice and other grains used in its best-selling cereals, The Guardian reports.
BBC News reports that the new recipes mean the packaging will carry a "contains wheat gluten" warning.
