Verified Reviewer |A foreign object found in my Syria when I was eating it
- - Foreign object found in cereal; it stuck.
- - The company won't reply to calls or emails.
- - They seek resolution without attorney involvement.
They sent me Cheerios coupons. However, my primary concern regarding the foreign object that was found in the cereal has not been addressed.As a result of this incident, I sustained an injury, and I am disappointed that I have not received a meaningful response regarding the circumstances surrounding the contamination or the steps your company is taking to investigate and resolve this matter. They had the nerves to ask for the object I sent a picture of it, I said "nice try"
I contacted the Cheerios company, and they will not return my calls or my emails in regard to a foreign object that was found when I was eating my cereal. I consumed it, and it got stuck in the back of my throat, and they will not try to resolve the issue.
I was trying to keep anything from escalating to an attorney. It's really bad. They are very incompetent, and they refuse to speak with me. I left a contact number for them to reach out.
I haven't heard anything. I wish an attorney would reach out to me if they read this.
- Delivering products that are not clean of debris
Preferred solution: I’m going to be reaching out to and Attorney
User's recommendation: Might as well get the generic product because their products are faulty

Verified Reviewer |Coupon question I haven’t received the replacement coupons yet
I was told that I would get replacement coupons after I sent pictures of the 3 expired coupons. I have never received them.
I dont know why or what happened. I did appreciate the offer but now Im wondering what happened.
I was never a pissedconsumer and didnt appreciate the terminology
- Heathy cereal except for the large salt contant
- Too much salt
Preferred solution: When I called several months ago I was told that I would be receiving replacement couplers for the 3 coupon free boxes of cereal. I have never received them. Even after sending pictures of the unused expired ones

Verified Reviewer |Hard Sharp piece of something broke my tooth
I was eating a bowl of cereal, and a hard piece of something broke my tooth. It was the same size as cereal, but it looked gold in color and was the sweet part of the rock.
- Good for me and helps my heart
- I broke my tooth very painful
Preferred solution: Full refund
Found material in cereal that should not be safe
Poured a bowl of honey nut Cheerios and a long piece of fiber type material came out of the box. Definitely not happy!
You are poisoning everyone with glyphosate

You are poisoning our planet!!!

Verified ReviewerNot taken seriously
- - The reviewer says Cheerios are unchanged and marketing is woke.
- - Shelf space is squeezed for flavors they enjoy and new flavors roll out quickly.
Woke is dead. Your company keeps making plain Cheerios with woke intentions.
Same product ... only making them for amigos, grandpa, daughter, etc. You are choking out all the shelf space and there is no room for the flavors we enjoy.
I am not even going to tell you what my favorite flavor is since no one listened before. And you keep rolling out new flavors so fast ( that are frankly quite gross ) that you have no time to listen to what consumers really want.
User's recommendation: Stop the woke and DEI
Found a bug in Cheerios
- - Bug found this morning while serving my daughter.
- - I have a video; this is unacceptable; friends suggested contacting customer care.
Hello Team,
I found a bug (same color as cheerios loops) this morning while serving it to my daughter. I even have the video of this whole thing.
This is highly unacceptable.
I know, its an exception but don't think I will be able to have trust on Cheerios and I don't think I will give this cereal to my kids. I have shared the video with some of my friends and even they suggested I reach out to the customer care.
Preferred solution: Apology

Verified ReviewerDoes Cheerios still contain ROUNDUP?
Does Cheerios still contain Roundup? I've always heard Roundup causes cancer; please advise.
I can be reached at email: caroljacobs1@***.net or phone: 973-769-****. Thank you.
- Tastes good
- Gluten free
- Roundup
Preferred solution: Info on Roundup, do you still use this in your products?

- - Plastic object found in Cheerios.
- - Batch number provided.
- - User asked what plant this was.
- - User refused to provide credit card details.
I just wanted to report on plastic object in my cheerios. I did this because I fear for someone else’s who might break a tooth.
I refuse to give you my credit card number.
I gave the batch number already. What plant was this?

Verified ReviewerI would love to see a commercial showing a female bee since 50,000 WORKER BEES are FEMALE!!!!
My issue is not with the cereal but with the advertising. The ad shows a cute bee telling the people how delicious it is.
The problem is that the character is a male bee. They rarely leave the hive and do NO work. There are 100 male drones and about 50,000 FEMALE WORKERS.
We would love to see an ad with the appropriate female worker! Thank you!
I use Cheerios. Not the problem.
Every commercial shows a male bee talking to a customer YET ALL WORKER BEES ARE FEMALE!!
Please produce a commercial with a female bee!
THANK YOU!
Preferred solution: A correct advertisement showing a female bee talking to a consumer.
User's recommendation: My issue doesn’t involve future customers except for viewing the commercial.
Down sizing ripoff
I paid $3.68 at Walmart for this tiny box of Cheerios. Not only is it a ripoff, but it's also insulting. You should be ashamed.
- Been satisfied for years
- High pricing and down sizing
Preferred solution: A normal size box . Not a family size or mega. Just normal.
User's recommendation: Quit ripping people off

Verified BuyerNowhere to be found: lemon frosted cheerios!
- - Lemon-frosted Cheerios were a limited flavor and are discontinued.
- - The site lists them as available, but none are found online.
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?
- Delicious and nutricious
- Unlocatable
Preferred solution: Way of locating a real product or delivery service or something
User's recommendation: Don’t bother with the product locator on cheerios.com because you’ll be disappointed
