Kashi ingredients: what's banned overseas?

About Kashi

Kashi is a natural and organic cereal and snack brand owned by WK Kellogg Co., positioned around whole grains, plant-based ingredients, and minimal processing. It offers cereals, bars, and frozen waffles at major grocery chains, natural food stores, and mass retailers. Kashi products prominently feature whole grain content and Non-GMO Project Verification on many SKUs.

Common concerns with Kashi products

Kashi is generally one of the cleaner mainstream cereal brands, with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives in most products. However, EWG has flagged Kashi products for glyphosate residue from conventionally farmed oats, and some bars contain soy protein isolate (which can contain traces of processing chemicals). The brand's whole grain claims are legitimate, and Kashi is a significantly cleaner choice than conventional sweetened cereals.
