Revolution in the composition of iconic breakfast cereals. All due to climate change
Kellogg's has changed the recipe for Rice Krispies and Coco Pops due to rice supply disruptions caused by climate change. Traditional rice grains are now replaced with rice and corn flour. This change introduces wheat gluten, making the cereals unsuitable for those with wheat allergies or celiac disease. Despite the recipe alteration, the cereals still meet UK food standards for fat, salt, and sugar levels. The rice supply issues stem from severe droughts affecting key Asian rice-producing countries, exacerbated by climate phenomena like El Niño, which may persist until 2027.
