Cinnamon Cheerios
I bought a box of Cinnamon Cheerios yesterday (9/3/2021) and they're stale. The best if used by date is 28may2022. Lot number is RBRB20:3110B. I don't know if this is something that happened on your end or during transport or if my box is the only one affected or if there is multiple boxes of stale Cinnamon Cheerios out there.
Fiber one cereal
A few weeks ago I purchased box of Fiber One Cereal. When I opened the box, one of the two pouches was open, with some cereal spilled at bottom of box. Other pouch was fine.
For some odd reason, I suppose, glue did not take.
Not sure from which grocery store item was purchased and, of course, no longer have receipt.
Discarded the open pouch and contents.
Desired outcome: Refund for discarded cereal or coupon for new box. Thank you. George Cotkin/557 Stoneridge Dr. San Luis Obispo, CA. 93401
Lucky Charms
My 6 year old child was eating your cereal yesterday morning and kept trying to bite down on what he thought was cereal when he spit out a large piece of plastic that looks like it came off of a machine. I have the plastic and the cereal box that it came from. I am worried that this has happened another box and this is a huge choking risk. My Cell number is [protected] and my email is [protected]@yahoo.com
Desired outcome: I want a call back to let me know this is being addressed.
Chex cereal
To Whom It May Concern:
I find it appoling that General Mills would use Chrissy Telgen and John Legend on the boxes of the Chex cereals. Majority do not care what the elite in Hollywood have to say or do about anything anymore let alone on what they are promoting. They must be desperate for money to put themselves on a box of cereal.
They announced their hate for our president by announcing they would be moving out of the United States if our President Donald Trump was re-elected. I hope they have their bags packed!
Broke 2 teeth as there was a small pebble in the bar.
On March 7, on the first bite of the Bar I broke an upper and lower tooth. This occurred at my home at 82 Old Yankee Rd, Haverhill, Ma.
I made the first appointment I could and saw the dentist on Mar 10. I have the dentist statement, x-rays, a letter written by myself, a photo of the pebble, and the adjusted bill from MetLife. I am requesting the reimbursement of my actual liability. Do you require any additional information before I mail this? Also, what is the most accurate address to send this information?

old el paso bold nacho cheese flavored taco shells
This is our favorite taco shell, but there usually is one to three broken. But, last night when making dinner, I opened the box and we had two whole shells and one "almost whole" as it had a large hole in the bottom. The other 7 shells were in little pieces. We ended up eating the three "whole" ones and three of the larger broken shells on soft shells. Good thing I had some soft shells on hand so we could have dinner! I buy these at Walmart in Rosewood, NC. The expiration date was 10Sept2017 EH 02:49 H1 (product of Mexico)
An occasional broken shell is understandable, but every time? really? and this last batch was VERY unacceptable! They were to be for guests, but the guests left early - I am now so glad as that would have been so embarrassing !
I am going to try and include a photo - of what was left after we picked out pieces, minus the tiny ones that just fell elsewhere.
Tasteless soup without ingredients
I was really disappointed in the products of Progresso Soups General Mills Inc. I bought soup for my lunch from this company, and when I opened it, I noticed that it didn’t contain any rise or other ingredients. It was plain cream only and that’s all. Also the soup was without taste. I never again bought production of this company and wouldn’t recommend to any other people. Post your comments about their production. It might be a good idea, if people write about their experience with this seller.

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
yes cereal does expire, but it is the store's responsibility to make sure it is off the shelf before that date. If you take it back with your receipt they will have to give you a new one because stores are not allowed to knowingly sell expired food.
Objectional substance on top, very soggy.
These (RQRQ214908B) Exp: 02 May 2013 RQ2B Golden Graham Treats were falling apart as soon as you opened it. Really soggy and had a layer of shiny moisture on the top. Not like they normally are at all. I was afraid to eat it because it was so different. I love these treats and I have been buying them for years and have never experienced what came in this box.
General Mills - False Advertising deadly ingredients
General Mills' Chocolate Cheerios say "All Natural Ingredients" on the box, however, the ingredients list "Artificial Flavour" as one of the ingredients. When I asked General Mills about this they said the cereals Artificial Ingredients are proprietary and secret. Cheerios contain a number of ingredients that are NOT good for you including chalk, and...

I'm a person that's not allergic to any type of food or ingredients. However, two days ago I poured a bowl of the new Total Cranb. Crunch cereal and ate it. Less than 2 hrs. later, I began sever itching, which has progressed into hives, welts, rashes, itching, etc. The only factor outside of my normal routine was the cereal. As I said, I'm not allergic to anything - not to wheat, not to cranberries, not to nuts, etc. I wrote to General Mills to notify them of the matter in case others experience this major inconvenience. They may also want to look into the processing of the cereal - maybe something was toxic and that's what I'm reacting to. This complaint is just an FYI for others. Thank you.

2/28/2024 bit into the granola bar there was a small stick in it. the date on the bar is 09Jul 2024 HN3H 1822. I tried to call at 8:20 and only got a message to call during business hours at 7:30am. I'm not sure why there would be a stick in my granola bar. Purchased at Costco in Enfield, CT
Not very happy about finding a ‘foreign’ object in my breakfast bowl 🤢. I have photos. Bought it from either Meijer or Kroger’s. Today, right now, January 8, 2024.

Just wanted you to know that the Gardetto picture is very misleading. The picture is showing numerous forms of product BUT pretzels is more that half of the bag. Got a good lesson. DO NOT believe what you see.
The bag of Chex mix had no cchocolatey candy. This happened on Aug 12, 2023. Feb 24, MG 164918
Keep finding black and brown chunks that look like burnt pieces. Have found numerous pieces in last 2 boxes I purchased - have a picture to show if interested.
Product was purchased at Zehrs in Orillia, On. Canada. During last week in July - not sure of exact day as I go there multiple times a week.
I'm returning my bag of chex mix saw that this is a product bioengineered food ingredients product no, thank you, i am not a lab rat...
Bought this packet yesterday at Publix I’m Tarpon Mall, Tarpon springs FL
Only 12 bars in the box instead of 24
Serial number on the box [protected]
Opened up a brand new box and the inside bag was never sealed properly. Please see pictures.
Sorry to see my favorite taco shells which I used for quite sometime come to an end. I and the 50 members of my email list will not eat Synthetic biological food ingredients. i am sure they are using these GMO's in all their products in which I will also not use!
I found two clear plastic sequins in my Progresso Soup... Now I'm terrified because I don't know if I ingested any additional ones that could hurt my organs.
Progresso Soup (99% Fat Free Chicken Noodle) can purchased from Food Town in Williamsburg, NY in early 2023.
