Medical Daily notes that the change is part of a larger effort by Kellogg to improve the nutritional profile of its products. Fox Business attributes the accelerated timeline to consumer demand for cleaner labels. The reporting does not yet specify how the change will affect the taste or appearance of the cereals.
Nor does it specify whether the change will affect the price of the cereals. The Boston Herald mentions the change in a ticker, but does not elaborate. Yahoo and Delish both use the same headline, but do not provide additional details.
