Kashi can have up to 100% GMO's in their grains.<br />There was a federal class action lawsuit against Kashi for misrepresentation of product ingredients, omitting ingredients, false advertising, and a whole myriad of infractions. <br />We are being fooled over and over again. Unless we protest by not buying into their scams, complain to them directly, then they will win. Boycott these companies and do not buy their products. <br />Read labels, ask direct questions! It is too bad we have to do this to ensure that what we are eating is healthy. But, that is the sad state of the world we live in, here in the USA.<br />Unlike other countries, like most of Europe, our regulations are slack. Europeans totally banned GMO's and the poisonous chemicals that the US permits in their foods. American companies are raking in billions as they poison our food supply. Everything we eat is tainted and messed with, unless it is certified organic. <br />So, that said, we have to take action, spread the word, complain and boycott. That's the only way to make a change before it is too late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631492063252179728.post-70451364793962948202011-01-20T09:12:21.738-05:002011-01-20T09:12:21.738-05:00Anonymous....I totally agree.

How difficult is it going to be in the future to purchase true organic due to this cross-pollination? It's a scary thought.<br /><br />My issue with Kelloggs is that attitude of "why bother." If they would stop purchasing GM ingredients, there would not be as much demand for GM crops resulting in a decline in the risk of that cross-pollination. As a really large company, they could make a huge impact.<br /><br />Speaking of new GM crops, within the next couple of days, the USDA is going to announce their policy on GM alfalfa. Organic alfalfa is primarily grown for feed used for organic dairy farmers. There's a big concern on the potential of cross-pollination of these crops.<br /><br />Thanks for leaving a comment.

If your field of non-GMO crops has a field containing GMO crops nearby, then some of the pollen from that crop can cross into yours...and now your field is tainted.<br />While I share your skepticism here on Kelloggs, the cross pollination excuse isn't totally off-base.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631492063252179728.post-29159928677132718122011-01-19T08:54:38.319-05:002011-01-19T08:54:38.319-05:00thank you so much -big help!thank you so much -big help!Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631492063252179728.post-55749784674289554072011-01-18T13:52:54.559-05:002011-01-18T13:52:54.559-05:00Hi Laura. Thanks for the comment.
There are only...Hi Laura. Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />There are only a few cereals at TJ's that aren't labeled for peanuts/tree nuts. I purchase the Frosted Shredded Wheat (bite size) for Abigail. She loves these. I also purchase the Triple Berry O's. These taste as good or better than Cheerios and have dried raspberry, strawberry and blueberries in it. My son likes these.<br /><br />Also, you can find Cascadian Farms cereal at Wal-Mart for under $3 a box. We like the Fruitful O's, the Cinnamon Crunch and the Clifford Crunch. Here's a post I wrote on Cascadian Farms not too long ago with links to their site: (http://peanutclinicaltrial.blogspot.com/search/label/Cascadian%20Farms)<br /><br />My favorite is the Kashi Organic Cinnamon Harvest Cereal. I still haven't found a good replacement for my son's favorite Blueberry Clusters from Kashi. I'm pretty confident it has GM ingredients so I need to make that change pretty soon.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Mom with a MissionMom with a Missionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05866959253295136237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631492063252179728.post-54804100925528470372011-01-18T11:24:10.190-05:002011-01-18T11:24:10.190-05:00which safe cereals do you purchase at Trader Joe&#...which safe cereals do you purchase at Trader Joe's? I noticed last night Kellogg's now makes a Crunchy Nut cereal - peanuts is 3rd on the ingredients list! I looked into organics and Annie's - but they list may contain nuts. I don't know what to do for cereal?!Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631492063252179728.post-73530165698825546362010-10-28T13:07:40.216-04:002010-10-28T13:07:40.216-04:00Kelly, thanks for all of the comments you're l...Kelly, thanks for all of the comments you're leaving!<br /><br />I just went on Kraft's website to look at all of their brands (Honey Maid, Cool Whip, Cadbury, Chips Ahoy, Jell-O, Kool Aid, to name a few) and none of the ones that I recognized, which were most of them, promote being GMO free. Given the size of these brands, I feel pretty sure that they utilize GMO ingredients. They have several brands that they sell only to European companies which are probably GMO free because most other countries refuse to eat genetically modified foods.<br /><br />It has to be a pretty special occasion for me to purchase one of the Kraft branded products.Mom with a Missionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05866959253295136237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631492063252179728.post-22516265148310147152010-10-28T12:35:45.868-04:002010-10-28T12:35:45.868-04:00What about KRAFT?
