A number of widely consumed cereals in Texas are facing scrutiny.
Attorney General Ken Paxton has raised concerns that some General Mills products marketed to children may not be as nutritious as they claim.
He specifically pointed out popular cereals like Trix and Lucky Charms, accusing them of misleading consumers by labeling themselves as “healthy.” Paxton mentioned aspirations to encourage the company to produce goods for international markets that are free of synthetic dyes and additives.
In a statement, he expressed pride in partnering with the Trump administration and Secretary Kennedy to take action against oil-based synthetic dyes. He emphasized his commitment to ensuring that businesses don’t engage in deceptive practices regarding food sales.
Under Kennedy’s guidance, the Department of Health and Human Services and the FDA have proposed plans to eliminate certain synthetic dyes and food additives from the nation’s food supply by the end of 2026.
General Mills has yet to respond to inquiries made by News Nation.
Additionally, Paxton announced a survey this month targeting the popular cereal brand Kellogg.
