Changing weather forces Kellogg's to change Rice Krispies recipe
Original: No more rice grains in Kellogg's Rice Krispies due to changing weather
Kellogg's is changing the Rice Krispies recipe because of changing weather conditions affecting rice crops, meaning the cereal will no longer be made purely with rice grains. The reformulated product will contain other grains, and packaging will now carry a 'contains wheat gluten' warning. The news has drawn attention as another example of how shifting climate conditions are altering everyday food products and supply chains.
Why now: The change is a tangible sign of climate change affecting a familiar everyday product, prompting consumer reaction.
