The Independent said:
Kellog’s has taken rice out of family favourite cereals Rice Krispies and Coco Pops after the ingredient’s quality and cost has been negatively impacted by “changing weather conditions”, according to the company.

Rice Krispies have been reinvented to use rice flour instead of rice, and Coco Pops now contains a mixture of corn flour and rice flour instead of pure rice.

One of the biggest changes for consumers is that the new recipes mean the cereals contain wheat gluten, making them unsuitable for people with a wheat allergy or coeliac disease.

And how about all the other cereal producers? I just checked Lidl rice crispies are fine. We are saved!

No pop any more, apparently

Exactly. Big Brands are just big rip-offs now. Heinz Tomato Soup, Ketchup and their Baked Beans are so watery and tasteless now it's unreal. Supermarket own brands and stuff on the Eastern Europe shelves knock them into a cocked hat at third of the price.

They've removed the palm oil from my favourite peanut butter. It tastes weird now.

Can they still call them Rice Krispies if there's no rice in them?

There's still some rice flour in there, probably just enough to count for naming.

Peanut butter shouldn't contain anything other than peanuts.

This. If it tastes weird to you, that's because your taste buds have been trained to expect the wrong taste, you need to retrain them.

They can call them what they like. There's a cereal called "Grape Nuts", it doesn't contain any grapes or nuts.

Wot, no butter? And if there's no butter in there they shouldn't be allowed to use the word. Next thing you know they'll be allowing kids to buy a soft drink called Ginger Beer to enjoy with their strawberry vapes.

I'm surprised peanuts haven't been completely banned, given all the song and dance about them. What irks me isn't they no longer serve them on aircraft but they make anoouncements saying, "We have a passenger onboard who has a peanut allergy so nobody's allowed to eat any peanuts". It's completely nuts. (Heh-heh)

I mean even Sunpat doesn't have palm oil in it and I can't recall seeing one that does contain it.

What sort of council peanut flavoured spread are we talking about here?
