Texas Launches Another Investigation into Healthy Claims in Cereals
Thursday, May 15, 2025
Print Mail Download info_icon_img/>i
  • Yesterday Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that it had sent General Mills a Civil Investigative Demand as part of a new investigation regarding the company’s marketing of its cereal products as “healthy” and a “good source” of vitamins and minerals despite containing what Texas calls “petroleum-based food colorings.”
  • The announcement alleges, without pointing to evidence, that a host of negative health outcomes can be attributed to these synthetic food colorings and voices support for the Trump administration’s battle against such colorings.
  • This move follows the Trump administration’s announcement of its planned phase-out of the use of synthetic dyes last month as well as a similar investigation against Kellogg by Texas, which was announced last month.
