Kashi (company) - Controversies

Controversies

In April 2012, a grocer in Rhode Island found out Kashi used genetically engineered, non-organic ingredients, and pulled Kashi products from his store's shelves and later posted pictures and notification through social networking tools, some customers began to call into question Kellogg's use of the term "natural" used on Kashi product labels. Kashi's general manager responded by stating, "The FDA has chosen not to regulate the term 'natural.'"

In 2012, the parent company of Kashi, the Kellogg Company, donated $790,000 to the NO on Prop. 37 campaign, which asked voters if they wanted foods containing Genetically Modified Organisms to be labeled in California.
