General Mills Cereal Brand ‘Loaded’ With Toxins, Report Says
By Danielle
A new report claims the General Mills’ cereal brand called ‘Trix LOADED’ tested for high levels of heavy metals and agrochemicals.
“General Mills, Inc. on Feb. 1 launched ‘LOADED,’ a new cereal line with ‘puffed-up larger-than-life squares’ of General Mills’ Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Trix, and Cocoa Puffs cereals filled with artificially flavored vanilla creme,” The Epoch Times reports.
Trix LOADED cereal is certainly loaded! I hope this article will shame General Motors into doing something to improve the quality of their cereals.https://t.co/tSuuz48bX9
