Dive Summary:
- Kashi, owned by Kellogg's, released two new cereals that were USDA certified organic.
- While this may seem business as usual for the natural cereal brand, the company was rocked last summer on the internet and social media when it was found that 100% of their soy beans were GMO and some even contained traces of harmful pesticides.
- Kashi, which usually keeps it's Kellogg's affiliation under wraps, markets itself to consumers looking for all natural, organic and often healthy foods.

This is the first step in our phased approach, and we’re committed to this journey!”
