Rice Krispies Will No Longer Contain Rice Grains After El Niño Summer

Kellogg’s is removing whole rice grains from Rice Krispies and Coco Pops, replacing them with corn and rice flours. This decision follows extreme heat caused by El Niño, which has disrupted rice production and availability across Asia. The company aims to ensure consistent product quality despite changing weather conditions. Consequently, packaging will now feature a "contains wheat gluten" warning, replacing the previous "may contain gluten" label, as the cereals are no longer gluten-free.
