How healthy is your Post Cereal really? Well it turns out that is actually the question when it comes to a current Class Action against the cereal company.
Don’t get me wrong, I know that not all cereals are as healthy as they say they are. But at the same time, companies need to be careful when they use certain buzzwords, such as healthy. After all, that’s how confusion happens.
According to Totally the Bomb, there is currently a Class Action against Post Cereal over their claims about certain cereals being healthy. It turns out that while they were touting these cereals as being good for you, they were actually filled with a lot more sugar than you may have thought.
As someone who has had their fair share of Honey Bunches of Oats and Raisin Bran Cereal, it is a bit surprising to learn about this Class Action. It’s not that I expect my cereal to be the height of healthy eating, but at the same time, if you say something is better for you or part of a healthy lifestyle, I guess I expect more.
Post Cereal is involved in a Class Action over how healthy some of their cereals really are
It seems that this Class Action involves multiple cereals in the Post family including Golden Crisp, Honey Comb, Raisin Bran, and of course Honey Bunches of Oats, and it goes back as far as August of 2012 (that’s a lot of cereal!). While there is no set amount that someone who is eligible for a payout will receive, it looks like maximum amount a person will receive as a settlement is around $14.28.
As a cereal lover, I can admit that just because there is a Class Action against a brand I love, that doesn’t mean I am giving up my cereal. In fact, this just reminds me I need to check the nutritional panel more often when I am grabbing the cereal.
