Cocoa Krispies contains BHT in packaging which migrates into the cereal — BHT is banned in Japan and restricted in the EU. The cereal also contains high added sugar and caramel color. Some varieties include artificial flavors. As part of Kellogg's broader product line, Cocoa Krispies is among the cereals flagged by food safety researchers for BHT presence, alongside Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, and Rice Krispies.
