Kellogg’s is waging a war here over Tigre Toño and Sam el Tucán.

A 2019 policy requires companies that make unhealthy foods to include warning labels on the front of any boxes they sell in Mexico to educate consumers about things like excess sugar and fat. Any food with a warning label — like Kellogg’s Fruit Loops or its Frosted Flakes, which typically contain more than 37 grams of added sugar in a 100-gram serving — is also banned from including a mascot on its packaging.

    I saw this while in Mexico and really liked the idea. I was then immediately bummed out when realizing almost everything had that label on it and buying food without excess sugar and salt was a lot trickier.

      Awareness is the first step. It will take time for people to incentivize production of clean food

      It’s not tricky. You’re just in the wrong aisle. Get a delicious mango in Mexico.

          You can easily live without cereal though, billions of people don’t eat it. Grab some still cut oats and make oatmeal for a healthy breakfast

            Yeeeeeppp. Eating cereal in the morning is a very recent invention by American megacorps. Why would you load yourself with carbs first thing in the morning? Eating proteins or not eating at all until lunchtime is better.

          I suppose this thread is full of clean eating herbivores and I’m the only one that enjoys a packet of chips or cheese.
