Kellogg’s is waging a war here over Tigre Toño and Sam el Tucán.

A 2019 policy requires companies that make unhealthy foods to include warning labels on the front of any boxes they sell in Mexico to educate consumers about things like excess sugar and fat. Any food with a warning label — like Kellogg’s Fruit Loops or its Frosted Flakes, which typically contain more than 37 grams of added sugar in a 100-gram serving — is also banned from including a mascot on its packaging.

    If nutrition labels bothers them so much, why not just make the cereal more nutritious and less full of shit? It’s not hard to see that there is a solution that doesn’t involve looking like a villain with an army of lawyers to fight a label.

      Because changing your product, which specifically appeals to the target purchasers because of what you’re changing, is going to make your product revenue take a nose dive? It should be obvious why they’re fighting it with lawyers. Hopefully the laws are ironclad and upheld so Kellogg’s gets their shit pushed in.

        But their products are known for being high fiber content, so unfortunately, they’ll push their shit right back out. 😆
