VERY disappointed to read that the Kashi GoLean cereals use GMO soybeans among the ingredients. It was my understanding that this was an all natural product as claimed by the packaging. As well by consuming the product I was supporting my effort to consume natural, healthy food and not to poison myself with toxins. You should be ashamed as you have betrayed your customer base and I will never purchase another Kashi product (or Kelloggs product for that matter!).

Perhaps it’s time for Kellogg’s to creeate a new kind of cereal, one that more clearly represents it’s brand, name it Monsant "O’s! Pure GMO goodness, sprayed, doused, and drenched in chemicals, and you can still use your all natural label on it. I certainly feel like you owe me for overpaying for years for subpar cereals, thinking you were doing me better by your higher price, but I am feeling, cheated, lied to and purposely misled. Is there any chance you can do better in the future?

I am sure if the former owner of this company still owned this company, instead of being bought out by Kellog, they would STILL be organic and non-gmo. Sorry, you just lost a good customer…

I will never buy a Kashi product again and will continue to urge others not to. The point is if you are all about organic’s, you don’t ever expect a company who puts themselves out there as such to deceive you in such a horrific way. Kashi, you are now in bed with Monsanto and can never be trusted again!! I threw out all of your products, You are dead to me!

I recently read about the GMO in my favorite- kashi go lean- and I am IRATE. I have long trusted this brand and recommend it to all of my pregnant and nursing moms for a great source of protein and fiber to keep them and their wee ones healthy. I am glad to hear that there is a move to nonGMO and I am glad- keep it up and I will continue to trust this brand but will not buy any product unless it is nonGMO. Please aim to make your ENTIRE line this way- for the health of your consumers and this planet too.

We feel misled by Kashi. I thought they were a cereal to be trusted. I want healthy food, not genetically modified. Won’t be buying ANY Kashi until they fix all their products.

We used to enjoy kashi but the kind that we like has GMO’s in them. Goodbye Kashi. We believed in the quality of your product and now know that you sold out to increase your profit. Never again!!!

Total lack of transparency! Your commericals show many “Natural” fields and selection of ingredients. Why do you not show a crop duster spraying Roundup on the same? If you want to be a leader – be one! Otherwise get out of the way and let others lead. This attitude of saying/showing one process and selling another will only make Kashi (Kellogg) a former favorite in many stores. Put up all the video messages you want about why you do not specifically tell us what in in your products but it is the message in your ads that is misleading consumers.
Shame on you!

Like the no gmo project! Do not like your use of the term natural on things that contain gmo ingredients. It is dishonest and misleading. Also Kellogg’s openly admits that it’s food in Europe is gmo free because of consumer demand but that it has gmos still in the US. I have lost all respect for a company that would knowlying give us gmos when obviously they can make the same thing without it. Shame on you. What do you feed your own families?

WHAT A ROYAL SCREW UP!
KASHI (KELLOGG)WILL NEED TO GET THIS RIGHT QUICKLY OR LIKE THE OTHERS YOU WILL DIE A QUICK DEATH AT THE HANDS OF LOYAL CONSUMERS…CONSUMERS HAVE REALIZED FOR SOME TIME WHO HOLD THE POWER TO CHANGE THIS…THERE IS NO TURNING BACK AND NO MORE TIME FOR DECEPTION…
PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ALL ABOUT THEIR FOODS, BUT OVER THE YEARS HAVE COME TO TRUST COMPANIES LIKE KELLOGG WHO USED TO STAND FOR A HIGH LEVEL OF QUALITY…THIS IS NOT THE CASE ANYMORE…CONSUMERS NOW TRUST NO ONE…NOT YOU OR ANYOTHER BRAND…TODAY KEEBLER STILL USES HYDROGENATED OILS (TRANS FATS) IN MANY OF THER PRODUCTS EVEN THOUGHT THIS STUFF GIVES YOU GLOGGED ARTERIES AND HEART DISEASE
WHATS SAD IS…IT IS THE COMPANIES LIKE KELLOGG THAT HAVE THE RESOURCES AND POWER TO EASILY CHANGE THIS AND THE INDUSTRY..AND LIKE THE OTHERS HAVE SUBMITTED TO WALL STREET IN FAVOR OF PUMPED UP PROFITS AND EARNINGS!

Good work Kashi – keep us informed!

I find it sad that with all that has been published online about how consumers want GMO’s labeled (not to mention eliminated) that Kashi only has 7 products that are verified non GMO and that recently with the Green Grocer taking off the shelves non GMO Kashi products that you had to post a video saying that it is inevitable that GMO’s will get into our food supply – so what direction are you taking here? I have to say that I will no longer purchase Kashi products, since selling to Kellogg’s you have gone the way of bowing to the large food conglomerates who want to give the impression of being ‘a healthy and natural choice’ but actually it is all smoke and mirrors. Goodbye Kashi.

I enjoyed eating my Kashi cereal each morning. Now I am perplexed as to what I should do with the remaining boxes I have (Heart to Heart oak flakes and blueberry clusters and Heart to Heart warm cinnamon oat cereal). Not only is this a GMO problem I am now reading about pesticides. Please tell me what should I do about the remaining 4.5 boxes of cereal I now have in my pantry. Thanks!

I am hopeful that Kashi will continue to move toward total non-GMO ingredients in their cereal. Unfortunately the two products we have bought in the past include GMO products(Heart cereal, Go Lean)…so I will have to look at other alternatives. I am sure you are aware that there is a picture floating around on the web, and social media of sign posted in a grocery store that says why they pulled your products from the shelves(use of GMO ingredients). It is unfortunate that Kashi when bought by Kellog had to sell out to sell more cereal. The movement for non GMO foods and the labeling of them is growing. Be ahead of the curve and move toward total non-GMO. Thank you!

It’s great to hear that Kashi has joined the Non-GMO Project. What saddens me is that my kids loved your products and I truly thought it was a healthy choice. But having GMO’s is not natural. How can Kashi interpret that as Natural. When you see a major corporation like Kellogg’s, getting involved in the “Natural” food business, I will think twice or investigate and see if their products are non GMO"s.

I unfortunately agree with the last comment. I read a very disappointing article yesterday that I am still reeling about. The article was from the Cornucopia Institute. The article states that 100% of the soy in Kashi cereal is genetically engineered soy, equating to what they call in their research as “high levels” of GMO’s.I am a mother of two and a very health conscious, active, Colorado woman. I looked in my pantry this morning and currently have Kashi Go Lean, Autumn Wheat, Cherry vanilla Cereal Bars, Kashi Trail Mix bars, and Kashi Sea Salt crackers…I am a HUGE customer of Kashi. It’s disappointing that when you feel like you’ve been treating you and your families bodies well by feeding them “good” food and you find out it’s the opposite is an awful feeling. I hope you can provide your customers with some truthful explanations that speak to this. Thanks. For now, I will not be purchasing your products and will not be able to praise the brand to others the way I have been any longer. :(

As demonstrated, we the people will demand, more and more, that our food supply chain remains safe. I’m glad to see Kashi taking the lead in consumer awareness and hope that its parent company, Kellogg’s, will adopt the same scrutiny to its products across the board.

I am stunned to learn about this. I knew the Kashi brand was bought out by Kellog some years ago (virtually all nationally marketed organic brands are owned by one of the large conglomerates, though often operated separately), but supposedly the Kashi branded products were to retain the previous standards. I buy Kashi and other organic products in large part to avoid Monsanto’s frankenfoods; having been made a widow by Agent Orange, I am painfully aware of their history and reputation, and now follow their predatory marketing of GMO.

I recently purchased two lots of Kashi products through Amazon, and was about to purchase a third; nowhere in the product information was there any mention of this issue. Moreover, having purchased Kashi products for more than a decade, I trusted the brand, so believed I was buying organic products without having to read the fine print on every label. I just checked, and the the Strawberry Fields cereal does say “organic” (though I am not so confident of that now), but the Oatmeal Dark Chocolate cookies don’t even say “natural”, let alone organic. (And as others have noted, the package contents are minimal, making it expensive indeed.) It seems this wasn’t an ‘accident’ or or mishap; they have subtly changed the packaging to quietly shift to substandard ingredients, hoping no one would notice.

I feel betrayed… and ripped off. So much for brand loyalty. Caveat emptor.

Kellog’s owns Kashi, Monsanto owns USDA and FDA

censored by Kashi

Why is everyone so surprised? Kashi is owned by Kellog’s the king of GMO and the FDA and USDA is run bought and paid for by Monsanto

Kashi has been owned by Kellog’s since 2000. The USDA and FDA who approved untested GMOs (without labeling) is bought and paid for by Monsanto. Why is everyone so shocked? “USDA Organic” means nothing

I am thrilled that you are in the process of verifying your products through the Non-GMO Project. That is wonderful news! Thank you! At the same time, I can’t believe that the following garbage is on your site: “Are foods that contain GMOs harmful to your health?
The scientific community has not established a causative link between GMO and any impact on human health.” Oh, please! What a joke! The science and the studies are in! Do you want to eat the upcoming GMO Agent Orange corn? Are you happy with the fact the we all have Roundup in our blood and groundwater? Do you want me to cite the independent studies that have proved that GMOs are toxic to human and animal health?

By the looks of the seven items above that are non-GMO it would seem that most of you products are GMO. This is very disappointing and disingenuous to say the least. So much for Kashi being the healthy, green, compassionate alternative.

Folks Kashi is owned by Kellog’s. There is nothing Organic about Kashi. The “USDA Organic” label?
The USDA and Dept of Ag is owned, bought and paid for by Monsanto…..

Please wake up! We have a choice as to what we eat, our kids don’t

All natural does not equal GMOs, wake up everyone, GMO is a product of the LAB, NOT NATURE

money grubbing GMO sellouts! They are lying about thier commitment to non GMO, seven products out of what? 100? you guys lost all credibility after becomming sellouts

KASHI = KELLOGS = they will never give up GMOs – GMOs = $$$$

why are you censoring me? you GMO assholes

KASHI = KELLOGS = behind the public relations, they are really pro-GMO. KELLOGS cereals are mostly GMO, high pesticide products, soon kashi will also be the same if not already. Kashi is hiding behind the thin veil of this 7 products and are clinging to their ‘all natural’ roots with this type of advertising, DONT FALL FOR IT, demand an across the board NO GMO policy

I’ve been eating Golean for many years now, it WAS my favorite cereal. It never occurred to me that an honest company like yours would use GMO round up ready Soy. I will no longer buy that cereal until verified non GMO. I’m terribly disappointed in you!

I just found out about the GMO bit with Kashi …. not good. I am willing to give them a chance to do right, but not until the products that I am interested in are certified by Cornucopia or Non-GMO project. I’ve already switched to several of the Nature’s Path products, so time is ticking. Hit’em where it hurts … on the bottom line. And don’t forget to spread the word at the supermarket next time someone picks up a Kashi product.

I am truly disappointed that Kashi’s organic products actually contained GMO Ingredients but am glad that they are pursuing sourcing their ingredients from non-GMO sources. In the meantime, I will have to give up some of my favorite foods until this is rectified.

I am furious to hear that Kashi has been selling us GMO-laced “Organic” foods without verifying that the products do not contain GMOs. If anyone hears of a class-action suit against Kashi for lying about their food products, I would be most interested in joining, and I have many, many receipts for my supposedly “Organic” Kashi purchases.

Keep up the good work!

I, too, am hoping to hear about more Organic and/or NON-GMO products. This was not as much of an issue when it seemed more of Kashi’s products were organic, but it seems, they too, have changed labels to say natural and yet charge the same higher prices with smaller box sizes.

This is such an IMPORTANT issue!!! The research on GMO birth defects and products is shocking! Thank you for creating NON-GMO products!!!!
