Oversalted Organic Cereal
I bought a box of Cascadian Farm’s “Purely O’s” yesterday at Sunflower Farmers Market to start giving to Xander. (Cacadian Farm is General Mills’ organic brand.) When I tasted one that Xander dropped on the floor, I immediately tasted the bitter saltiness. It turns out, this organic version of Cheerios contains almost 25% more sodium than the regular bee-branded Cheerios—250mg per 30g as opposed to 204mg. This is accounting for the difference in the two brands’ serving sizes.
Right now the comment submission on Cascadian Farm’s website is not working (maybe it’s never working?). I’m not about to stay on the phone for hours to complain, so there will be a snail mail letter headed to Cascadian Farm.
