- Texas AG Ken Paxton has opened an investigation into WK Kellogg Co. in connection with allegations that the company misrepresented whether its products contained artificial dyes and preservatives in violation of state consumer protection laws.
- In the AG’s press release, he alleges that Kellogg advertises its products as healthy, despite the fact that these products contain artificial dyes and preservatives that have been linked to adverse health impacts.
- The AG further alleges that Kellogg previously announced it would remove these artificial food dyes and the preservative BHT from its products, and that, despite removing these ingredients from products sold in Canada and Europe, it has not done so in the United States.
