Common concerns with Post Consumer Brands products
Multiple Post cereals contain concerning additives: Fruity Pebbles uses Red 40, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, and Blue 1 — petroleum-derived dyes restricted in the EU. Cocoa Pebbles contains BHT and Class IV caramel color (a source of 4-MEI, a probable carcinogen under California's Prop 65). Honey Bunches of Oats contains BHT. Post has been slower than General Mills and Kellogg's to announce comprehensive dye-removal timelines.
