FAQs

Why are Rice Krispies banned in other countries? ›

Japan's ban on Rice Krispies is part of a larger initiative to reduce the presence of legal food additives which are linked to health risks. One such additive, Trisodium Phosphate (TSP), is used in small quantities in some food products, including Rice Krispies, as an emulsifier or nutritional supplement.

Besides the fortified cereal's iron, folate, and B vitamins, the packaged version of Rice Krispie Treats has virtually no nutritional value. It also has too much added sugar which can affect blood sugar. The homemade version is significantly less unhealthy.

Allow to thaw at room temperature before serving. Make-ahead- I truly believe the best rice krispies are the ones fresh from the pan but if you want to make them in advance remember to make them no more than 3 days before you plan to serve them or freeze them right away.

Rice represents only 48% of the Rice Krispies Vanilla – from 89.8% in the original. Corn flour (13%) (which may be genetically modified, according to the company) as well as whole wheat flour (10%) are some of the new ingredients. In addition, the company added much more sugar to “enhance the crispiness”.

Three of the most popular cereal brands, Frosted Flakes, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Rice Krispies, are banned by Japan and the European Union. Why? They contain BHT, a preservative which some fear is cancer-causing.

In 2014, a man recorded himself urinating on a conveyor belt of Rice Krispies. He waited two years to upload the video online. The products were distributed to customers and presumably consumed. Kellogg took action and prosecuted the employee.

“Rice Krispies are an awesome source right before a workout because they hit your stomach, they get digested really quickly, they enter your bloodstream, and boom, you have carbs to power your workout. This is why as sports dietitians, we recommend cereal as a pre-workout snack,” Klinger says in a video post.

Many of these foods also contain high levels of sugar, which can cause plaque build-up if not brushed away properly. Also, be wary of hard foods that can harm your orthodontic appliances. Avoid eating hard taco shells, chips, Rice Crispy treats, hard candy, beef jerky, and popcorn.

If you melt the marshmallows too fast, it might result in a Rice Kripsy treat that is harder and crunchy than chewy. Take your time and let the butter and marshmallows melt slowly. Use an 8×8 or slightly smaller pan. Use a small and deep pan if you want thick and chewy rice Krispy treats.

Should you refrigerate rice krispie treats? ›

Do Rice Crispy Treats Need to be Refrigerated? No. I recommend keeping these Rice Crispy Treats in an airtight container at room temperature. Refrigerating will make the marshmallow in them super hard, so I advise to leave them at room temperature.

Rice krispie treats do not need to be refrigerated because they contain so much sugar, which acts as a preservative. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, but I doubt they will last that long!

Despite the public's obvious and vocal disgust with the product, Kellogg's decided to stay firm in their decision on replacing the original Rice Krispies with the new Rice Krispies Vanilla, until 2020 when Kellogg's returned the original product to shelves.

Rice Krispies Treats already taste like nostalgia, but the brand is coming out with a new "Homestyle" version of the snack that are bigger than the packaged sweets you know and love. With more marshmallows in every bite, new Homestyle Rice Krispies will taste as if you made them yourself...but without the actual work.

Kellogg's decided to test what it initially called “marshmallow squares” developed by Mildred and Malitta. Day took a train to Kansas City where she set up a temporary kitchen. For two weeks, working daily from 6:30 AM to 10 PM, she made batch after batch of the treats.

Frosted Flakes and Rice Krispies

You can't share breakfast with Tony the Tiger or Snap, Crackle, and Pop in the EU and Japan. That's because these cereals contain a flavor enhancer called BHT.

Danish health officials banned cereals containing added vitamins because they claimed Kellogg's Special K wanted to add extremely high levels of vitamin B₆, calcium, folic acid, and iron, which would reach toxic levels when eaten on a daily basis.

A labour dispute, supply-chain issues and the pandemic have resulted in a shortage of family favourites such as Kellogg's Rice Krispies and Cornflakes. Bereft breakfast eaters have noticed a distinct lack of the staples on supermarket shelves with many taking to social media to voice their frustrations.

Froot Loops

The beloved, Kellog's colourful and fruity cereal contains yellow 5, red 40 and other potentially harmful artificial dyes that are banned in the EU. The American cereal is banned in many European countries; France, Austria, Norway and Finland.
