Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats

In response, to a recent media report in the Sunday Times Extra (30 June 2002) it is important for consumers to know that ALL of Kellogg’s ready-to-eat breakfast cereals are free from animal ingredients and are suitable for consumption by vegetarians.

All Kellogg’s ready-to-eat breakfast cereals are grain based, made from wheat, rice, corn, rye, barley or a combination thereof. We add malt, salt and sugar to flavour our breakfast cereals. To ensure that we provide an optimum balance of nutrients for breakfast, we add vitamins A, B vitamins, C and iron. Kellogg’s Special K contains milk powder and is therefore not suitable for the vegan community but is suitable for the lacto-ovo or lacto vegetarian.

None of our foods use egg or egg derivatives.

Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats is a healthy snack food that is produced on separate premises from our ready-to-eat breakfast cereal plant and contains gelatine derived from beef.

Local certifying bodies have certified our facilities, processes and have fully investigated all ingredients used. All Kellogg’s breakfast cereals meet the standards set by these organizations and can guarantee that our breakfast cereals are free from animal ingredients.

All packaging reflect detailed ingredient lists in strict compliance with the current labelling regulations stipulated in the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act. Act Number 54 of 1972.

Thank you for contacting the Kellogg's Nutrition Advisory Service with your query. You have asked if there are any animal ingredients in Kellogg's Cereals-specifically in Kellogg's Fruitful Bran, Kellogg's Coco Pops Crunchers and Kellogg's Frosties. There are no animal ingredients in these products.

Glycerine is not a an animal product but rather it is the commercial name for glycerol, a colourless, odourless, syrupy liquid chemically, an alcohol obtained from vegetable fats and oils and used to retain moisture and add sweetness to foods.

Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards,
