Investigation: Breakfast cereal “fruits” and “berries” are faked; made from crazy chemicals

Call it consumer fraud! Many of the “fruits” used in popular breakfast cereals are really just fake fruits made out of refined factory ingredients like:


• Artificial coloring chemicals

• GMO corn starch

• GMO soybean oil

• Corn syrup solids


So which breakfast cereals can you really trust to deliver REAL fruits versus FAKE fruits?


In this investigation, we examine nine popular cereals. In each picture below, you’ll see the cereal box image, a microscopy photo of the “fruit” in the cereal, and a snapshot of the ingredients label.


Frosted Mini Wheats Strawberry Delight Cereal

Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Cheats

Don’t trust the cereal box to tell the truth! As you can see on this box of Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats, the front of the box shows a picture of fresh strawberries. But the cereal doesn’t contain any strawberries.


Instead, it contains petrochemical-derived food coloring chemicals and soybean oil almost certainly derived from GMOs.


The box claims the cereal is made from “100% Whole Grain” but never mentions the artificial chemical colors, corn syrup, soybean oil or questionable ingredients.


The box imagery also falsely implies that you’re buying and eating real strawberries, and this same deception is repeated across nearly all popular cereals.


In fact, this microscope image shows that the “strawberries” in Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats are really just artificially colored bits containing no real fruit at all!


As you can see from the ingredients label shown on the right, the real ingredients used to fake the strawberries in Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats are:


• Corn syrup

• Artificial flavor

• Soybean oil (most likely from GMOs)

• Gelatin

• Citric acid (most likely from GMOs)

• Red #40 (artificial coloring chemical)

• Blue #2 (artificial coloring chemical)

• Blue #1 (artificial coloring chemical)


That’s not fruit! When you eat Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats, you’re eating a mouth full of chemicals!


That’s why I think the product name should be changed to Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-CHEATS!  More details
