Hello,
Apologies for not posting for a while. We just wanted to share some breaking news that has been making waves in the Kellogg's world. The CEO recently recommended that cereals are a good alternative for dinner, during the cost of living crisis. This has not gone down well with some, as they claim Kellogg's prices have increased rapidly over the last few years, fuelling inflation and wage poverty. Some consumers are boycotting the brand from April for three months, to put the pressure on to bring prices back down to pre pandemic levels. Anyway, have a read and you can make up your own mind:

In terms of palm oil there have been no new developments from Kellogg's but some interesting articles below:
