United We Stand: A Day of Advocacy at Kellogg’s HQ with Wellness Warriors

United We Stand: A Day of Advocacy at Kellogg’s HQ with Wellness Warriors

Since our impactful gathering at Kellogg’s headquarters in Battle Creek, our mission has only gained momentum. Alongside over 1,000 dedicated wellness advocates, we delivered a powerful message backed by 417,000 signatures. Yet our work is far from over. Today, we are calling for a continued and strengthened boycott of all Kellogg products until they eliminate harmful additives from their food.

SIGN THE PETITION

The Boycott Begins

In response to Kellogg’s refusal to commit to their 2015 promise of removing artificial colors, flavors, and other toxins from their cereals in the U.S.—despite already doing so in other countries—we have initiated a boycott. Collectively we seek to pressure Kellogg to prioritize health over profits by aligning their U.S. products with their international standards.

List of Brands to Boycott

We urge all Wellness Warriors to avoid purchasing any products from Kellogg until significant changes are made. Below are images of the Kellogg brands included in our boycott. These include popular cereals such as Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops, and Corn Flakes, as well as snacks like Pringles and Pop-Tarts. By steering clear of these products, we can make our voices heard in a language that corporations understand: market demand.




How You Can Help

1. Boycott Kellogg Products: Refrain from purchasing any products from Kellogg brands listed in our boycott.
2. Sign and Share the Petition: If you haven’t already, please sign our petition urging Kellogg to eliminate toxic additives. Share the petition with friends, family, and on social media to help us gather more signatures and increase pressure on Kellogg.

Why We Showing Up To Support Taking Action Against Kellogg

Despite Kellogg's 2015 promise to eliminate artificial colors and flavors from their cereals by 2018, they continue to include these ingredients in many products aimed at children, such as Minecraft Frosted Flakes and Disney's Little Mermaid Cereal. Six years past their deadline, these products still contain substances that could harm our children's health.

The Concern with Artificial Additives

  1. Artificial Colors: These substances, derived from petroleum, have been associated with hyperactivity and disruptions in children's immune systems. In Europe, products containing these colors must carry warning labels.

  2. Artificial Flavors: These are cost-effective synthetic mixtures made from crude oil or coal tar, replacing natural ingredients, which raises significant health concerns.

  3. Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT): A preservative linked to cancer risks in animal studies and known as an endocrine disruptor affecting hormone balance.

Kellogg's Has the Means to Improve

Even though Kellogg’s is due for a complete overhaul— we are merely requesting they apply the same standards they’ve already established in Europe and Australia, where cereals like Froot Loops and Unicorn Cereal are sold without these harmful additives. It's evident that Kellogg’s can manufacture healthier cereals, as they already do in other markets.

How You Can Support the Cause

If joining us in person at Battle Creek isn’t feasible, you can still contribute significantly by signing the online petition. By doing so, you help us urge Kellogg's to honor their commitment and prioritize the health of our children over profits.
