Warning Letter (To General Mills from the FDA regarding Cheerios)

FDA ^ | 05/05/2009 | W. Charles Becoat

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Any take on when we’ll start seeing Cheerios sold OTC?

[SJSAMPLE]

Waiting for DEA choppers to start circling above ota fields.

[nina0113]

This is a joke, right? Like the visit-from-Santa military requisition? If not, I’ll have to buy some of the dam’ things, and I **HATE** Cheerios.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Is this a joke?

[Sam's Army]

When they outlaw Cheerios, only outlaws....

[Gay State Conservative]

I guess the FDA has a 20 page regulation regarding the use of the word “crunchy”.

[RC2]

Do these people know how stupid they sound? If they have nothing better to do than to go after Cheerios, they need to be fired.

[skinkinthegrass]

....the "G8d D@mn" F**d @re @t it @t @g@in....GRRRRR.

What Big Pharma company made big donations to Obama?

Any take on when we’ll start seeing Cheerios sold OTC?

Does that mean I can pay for them with FSA?

[Lurker]

I can't wait for the tar and featherings to start on pencil necked idiots like the FDA flunky who wrote this letter.

And just for the record, I love Cheerios.

If it’s a bullshit claim (and let’s face it, it probably is), then it shouldn’t be on the box or in their commrecials.

Is this a joke?

Under a Hussein Administration? Care to retract the question?

[La Lydia]

I happen to like Cheerios and eat them occasionally because they taste good and their texture is pleasant. I don’t eat them for medical reasons. The FDA needs to make this a little clearer. Either eating whole grain foods is good for you, or it isn’t. Or is this yet another government power grab for a non-reason?

[reagan_fanatic]

They can have my Cheerios when they pry them from my cold, dead cereal bowl.

[bboop]

This JERK works for We the People? And they have time to prosecute Cheerios?

Sure this is not the Onion?

[org.whodat]

This is not the first product the FDA has warned about making unfounded medical claims. Some of you people need to get a grip!!!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

They should just change the name to “Diversios” or “ShovelReadios”. They’d have nothing to worry about.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I’m glad Mr. Powell has made this asinine letter public. If you think socialized medicine is benign, think again...
