Increasing transparency with first sustainability on pack message
We know that people are interested in understanding how their foods are made and want reassurance that it's not only delicious, but that it also is made responsibly. That's why for the first time, the company is sharing this exciting news in a very prominent way. The message 'Responsibly Sourced Corn' now appears on the front of all packages of Kellogg's Corn Flakes cereal sold in stores across the region (Europe).

Why focus on corn and Corn Flakes? Well, it's THE original Kellogg's cereal dating back to 1906 and remains one of the most iconic foods in the entire breakfast category. Based on a very simple production process and a short ingredient list – just corn and three others – the recipe has changed very little over the years, validating that the cereal addresses people's desire for pure and simple food.  

And this is where our responsibly sourced corn plays an important role!
The corn used in Kellogg's Corn Flakes in Europe is a special variety grown by farmers in Argentina, where the conditions are ideal for this crop to thrive. The criteria to determine that the corn is responsibly sourced includes environmental, social and governance, based on a standard developed by Kellogg and modelled on those used by well-recognized, international non-governmental industry groups. Our regional corn supplier and partner DACSA also played a crucial role in ensuring that the farmers they work with embrace the best practices for growing responsibly sourced corn, and meet the criteria to be labelled as such.
