Pesticide in oats

Read recently that for some time oats used in Old Fashioned Quacker Oats are laced with an outlawed pesticide. Please prove me wrong!

Nowhere to be found: lemon frosted cheerios! - Image 2
I am extremely annoyed at Cheerios and General Mills! All my life, I have been a plain Cheerios with no added sugar (sometimes a sliced banana on top) kind of person. Theres very few of us left in the world. Suddenly, along came lemon-frosted Cheerios for a limited time! I was obsessed with this cereal for a couple weeks and then reaching the last one on the shelf at Frys Food and drug store, I called someone over to tell me where theres more, and he said that it had been discontinued. My heart broke! I went on to go to various Frys Food and drug stores, Safeways, Albertsons, WalmartNONE of them said they sold this product and they didnt even have a space for them on the shelf (except for the one Frys) I went on the Cheerios website, and they show them there, and they show them as being populated in all sorts of Walmarts in my area. This is completely untrue and there is absolutely no lemon, frosted Cheerios at any Walmart, nor is it even on walmart.com! What is the hold up with these delicious little bites?! Theyre elusive and its disturbing the *** out of me that I cant find them and that Cheerios website does not offer direct delivery to the consumer! What kind of crap is that when theres no place nearby for me to get your product or online! I cant be the only one that likes these since I was that plain Cheerios kind of girl, but now Im starting to get a beyond aggravated! I wish somebody would help me! By the way, yes, I already tried Amazon! They dont exist! These places even have the veggie Cheerios on their websites, but NO LEMON?!? The locator option that you have on your website sucks! Dont say you have a product at a place that you clearly without a doubt dont! What kind of game is this?

I found a magnet at the bottom of my Cheerios this morning. I purchased a double box of cheerios at Sams Club in Erie PA. At the bottom of the second box I found a magnet and almost ate it. Perhaps a machine broke and a piece broke off. This is a safety issue and customers should be made aware if a machine broke and there could be parts in other boxes

Recall

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
You wont find glyphosate listed among the ingredients on Cheerios or any food product. Scientists know its there by testing foods for traces of herbicides and pesticides. They measure the level of glyphosate and other toxins in parts per billion (ppb). The EWG found that levels of glyphosate in Cheerios were 729 ppb and in Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch the levels reached 833 ppb. The EWG considers 160 ppb to be the highest level safe for childrens food. Even with glyphosate levels that are much higher than the EWGs maximum recommended amount, its not entirely clear whether Cheerios actually poses a cancer risk. In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans.

There was a piece of either glass or plastic in my cheerios pumpkin spice cereal

There was a piece of either glass or plastic in my cheerios pumpkin spice cereal
It should not have been in the cereal. I almost broke a tooth when I bit into the cereal. Im sure it was a piece of a plastic toy or something similar. Im hoping that they will be no more in my pumpkin cereal. Its about the color of pumpkin. How could a piece like that get into cereal unless you use it to color the cereal.

I was having my favorite cereal. Pumpkin spice cheerios and bit down on something hard. I spit it out and low and behold it was a piece of either plastic or glass in the cereal. I could have broken a tooth. Im sure it was an error when cereal was prepared but this should not have happened. It could have ended up very bad.

I can't find fruity Cheerios

Well even though the person that I talk to was really nice calling you didn't help the situation none how can a big company like you guys not be able to get that kind of cereal I have to go 50 miles away from my house to get it and the guy told me I could get it on Amazon guess what can't get on Amazon and the little balls that it used to come in it says that you stopped making them in August so a big company like you asking me is what can you do I wouldn't be able to give you an answer if you can't figure something out to help a customer that has been looking for a few years for this cereal then what good is it but thank you for asking nonegood

Very poor rep initially could not hear me continued to say hello - hello - hello " going to disconnect" hello- I was speaking "I am here I can hear u can u hear me(?) I am here" rep apparently had MUTE on reps phone evidently, very rude spoke over me did not listen constantly interrupt while I was attempting to provide info on issue, idiotic did NOT understand issue not interested not able to resolve in any way. VERY VERY RUDE. Finally told rep I would NEVER buy GM products again NONE if this issue not resolved. It is Promotion from March 2022. Ashamed of General Mills & Ice Tea for promoting SCAM. Have emailed ICE TEA to advise him of shameful treatment to ling time customer by GM.
