Do Kellogg's Frosted Flakes contain Bioengineered ingredients?

Question

Accepted Answer

From the Kellogg’s website.

Why we make our foods with BE and non-BE ingredients

Kellogg is one of the largest buyers of grains in the world, ranging from common crops like corn and wheat to lesser known grains like spelt and amaranth. In addition to crops grown from bioengineered (BE) seeds, we are also one of the largest purchasers of organic grains for cereal in the US.

Our reasons for buying all types of crops are based on availability of ingredients and consumer preferences. For example, nearly all corn and much of the sugar beets available in the US comes from bioengineered crops. We do buy non-BE crops for our brands that are Non-GMO Project Verified™. However the BE vs. non-BE is not an issue for other common crops including rice, wheat and oats because there are no bioengineered versions of these items approved for farmers in the US.

Bioengineering, also known as genetic modification or genetic engineering, combines desirable traits from different plants or organisms (like resistance to a disease or pest) to produce stronger and more resilient crops.

As a company we are open to using BE ingredients because there are many studies supported by respected institutions that show that they are safe to eat and offer other benefits for farmers and the planet.
