The People's Union has called for a boycott of General Mills from April 21 to 28: https://thepeoplesunionusa.com/

I was really hoping for a lot better/stronger flavor for the new strawberry flavored Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.
Straight out of the box it's decently good. Once in milk, it loses the strawberry flavor almost instantly.
The cinnamon flavoring isn't as strong either, I guess because of the strawberry flavoring.
Overall, not happy with it and wish it were considerably better.
There are multiple protests and boycotts planned against the Trump administration between 28 February and 28 April 2025.
Some are for the USA, some are for everyone.
Make yourself aware and get involved. It is the only way we can topple the tyrant and restore democracy

#TIL American grocery store staples like #LuckyCharms cereal, Triscuits to #Cheetos & #Chewy brand #granola bars were revealed as being made by migrant children working in allegedly unsafe conditions at secretive processing plants in #GrandRapids, #Michigan?
The #PrivateEquity owned mfgr now seeking #Chapter11 bankruptcy protections has been hit with numerous govt probes, ranging from blocking #Unionization efforts to #ADA issues to exploiting #ChildLabor across 28 facilities in multiple states with over 12,000 employees.
A 2023 #NYTimes investigation found factory floors staffed with low wage undocumented staff, including kids and that has led to recent #bankruptcy filing of Hearthside #Food Solutions, a mass market production & packaging firm
"It would be hard to find a cookie or cracker aisle in any leading grocer that does not contain multiple products from #Hearthside production facilities,” said Richard Roscoe, manager of just one of the corp's four plants in the Grand Rapids, Mich area.
Hearthside , whose plants are largely reliant on non union #TempWorkers , has been publicly mentioned as a partner to #GeneralMills and #PepsiCo. In 2014 Hearthside Food Solutions was sold to #GoldmanSachs and 2018, it was announced #HearthsideFood purchased a #Kellogg cereal production plant in Indiana. Mgmt s proud of flaunt titles such as being named to lists of "Fastest Growing Private Companies" and is recipient of multiple innovation awards, and rarely touts or mentions its many labor law violations or legal troubles.

Eye-opening and atrocious.

Call on #CocaCola, #PepsiCo, #Unilever, and #GeneralMills to improve labor conditions for those who harvest their #sugar.

When #Lärabars first came out, a little over 20 years ago, I really liked them, but I got tired of them after awhile, and stopped buying them. I recently started buying them again, and now I remember why I liked them to begin with.
Sadly, they are owned by #GeneralMills, now. Creator Lara Merriken founded Humm Foods to market her creation, and sold out 6 years later. Since Clif Bar also recently sold out, I've sort of given up on trying to buy from small companies.
#US stocks wavered with #Nvidia dropping 1%. Key #inflation data awaited Fri. #FedEx +14% on outlook & buyback; #Rivian +20% after VW's $1B investment. #Southwest & #GeneralMills fell on weak forecasts. #Energy stocks down amid surprise #crude stock rise.
Tech rebounds but financials dip; #Nvidia down 1.8%, #Rivian up 30%, #FedEx up 14%, #Blackstone down 0.1%, #Albemarle up 6%, #Whirlpool up 13%, #Robinhood up 2%, #Chipotle flat, #VistaOutdoor up 10%, #Southwest down 1%, #Paychex down 6%, #GeneralMills down 4.8%. #US
General Mills $GIS reported an EPS of $1.01, slightly above the forecast of $1.00. Revenue was $4.71B, below the forecast of $4.86B. #GeneralMills #Earnings #Revenue
i got a fruit by the foot package with 2 rolls in it #blessed #blessedbythefoot #generalmills
Caught some #shrinkflation in action from #BettyCrocker / #GeneralMills at #Kroger.
I bought what I thought were 2 identical boxes of brownie mix. Nominally the same product, and they're the same price, but one box (expires in 2024) contains 19.9 oz of mix, while the other (expires in 2025) only contains 16.3 oz.
That's nearly 20% less product for the same price. And the instructions call for the same amount of eggs and oil, so you end up with shittier brownies.

"General Mills just paid a $300 million dividend to investors, bought back $150 million in stock to enrich execs and investors and pays its CEO $16 million. It makes 2.1 billion a year in profit.
It is raising prices on cereals 20% and blaming 'inflation.'"
