This is the best summary I could come up with:


Ken Bennett, an avid hiker and recreational hockey player, wanted a cereal packed with protein.

In Vector's case, Health Canada spokesperson André Gagnon said Kellogg can add milk to the protein count, because the product isn't a cereal.

U.S.-based WK Kellogg Co. said Vector's label is not only compliant, but voluntarily discloses on the box the protein count without added milk.

According to Canadian regulations, if a cereal shows a real food on the box that is simulated in the product with flavouring, it must be made clear on the packaging.

Kellogg Co. said Mini-Wheats Blueberry is compliant, because the front of the box states "natural and artificial flavour," and the nutrition label lists all the ingredients.

Andréa Daigle, spokesperson with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, told CBC News it's heading up an investigation into grocery retail practices that hurt Canadians.


The original article contains 759 words, the summary contains 140 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Oh my god, will people ever understand that companies can and will do anything to decieve you. Why are you even giving them a second thought of trust...why..

It seems we have a regulatory body to handle the lying. Aside from pointing that out, what are you trying to signal, here?
