Kellogg was part of the Coalition Again$t the Costly Labeling Law, a group of companies that worked against Oregon’s Measure 27, which would have required the labeling of GMO products sold in that state. The company donated $60,000 to defeat the Measure.

Although Morningstar, a Kellogg owned company, emphasizes the healthiness of its line of alternative vegan and vegetarian frozen meals, the corporation admits that all of its products besides its organic line contain biotech ingredients, which have questionable health effects. Other disputed ingredients in Morningstar products include artificial flavors, artificial colors and corn syrup. In addition, most of the company’s products are based in soybeans, a crop that has become increasingly controversial as it is the second leading cause of deforestation in South America. Morningstar also states that is continuing to “explore” the use of cage-free eggs in its products but that it currently buys from suppliers that inhumanely cage their hens. However, Morningstar has made an effort to reduce its use of eggs in its products.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) threatened to sue Kellog over its advertising and marketing of unhealthy cereals and snacks to children. CSPI recorded 54 commercials for Kellogg products in 27½ hours of Saturday morning television; 98 percent of them were for foods the Center says had poor nutritional quality. Kellogg agreed to increase the nutritional value of children's cereals and snacks. The company said it won't promote foods in TV, radio, print or Web site ads that reach audiences at least half of whom are under age 12 unless a single serving of the product has no more than 200 calories, no trans fat and no more than 2 grams of saturated fat.

Kellogg announced that the company will begin using an oil named Vistive, made from Monsanto's genetically modified soybeans. Kellogg says it is one of the first food manufacturers to use the oil to lower levels of trans fat and saturated fat in its products. Vistive will not be added to Kellogg cereals that are already trans fat-free, but other products will contain the genetically modified ingredient.

Kellogg announced a voluntary recall in March 2001 of its meat-free corn dogs sold under the Morningstar Farms and Loma Linda brands. Greenpeace discovered a sampling of the corn dogs to contain StarLink, a genetically-engineered corn not approved for human consumption, that may trigger allergic reactions.

In March 2001, laboratory tests commissioned by Greenpeace suggested that Morningstar Farm’s veggie burgers and meat-free corn dogs contained not only genetically modified soy, but also the controversial genetically altered corn product, Starlink, which has not even been approved for human consumption. Kellogg, Morningstar’s parent company, had previously stated in 1999 that it used a soy protein not produced through biotechnology, despite its products not being labeled as GMO-free. A Kellogg spokeswoman blamed the scandal on the “supplier not providing ingredients to our specifications.”
