Crystal Farms Unveils Bold New Cheese Offerings Just in Time for Summer
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This summer, Crystal Farms Dairy Co. is turning up the flavor with the launch of bold new cheese offerings crafted to meet consumers' growing appetite for exciting, recipe-ready options. Hitting shelves throughout the Midwest, the new lineup includes the Seasoned Collection of shredded cheeses—featuring Garlic & Herb, a low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese seasoned with garlic and herbs, and Zesty Ranch, a white sharp cheddar cheese with ranch seasoning—along with Carolina Reaper Cheese Slices for those craving heat. The new products are a direct response to consumer feedback about evolving tastes. According to Andrew Cannon, associate director of marketing at Crystal Farms, the company took a hands-on approach to innovation. 'We conducted consumer surveys, analyzed market trends and even sat down with people in their own kitchens to understand where cheese could do more,' Cannon said. 'The desire for bold flavors and convenient, recipe-ready products came through loud and clear. That inspired us to explore new ways to bring crave-worthy flavor directly into the cheese itself.' Leveraging its seasoning application capabilities, Crystal Farms developed its Seasoned Collection to seamlessly add bold flavor to tacos, pasta, casseroles, salads and more—all without the need for extra sauces or seasonings. Meanwhile, the Carolina Reaper Slices offer a fiery twist on cheese that's perfect for burgers, sandwiches or straight from the fridge. 'We're incredibly excited to bring these delicious and unique products to consumers' tables,' Cannon said. 'They're fun, flavorful and make it easy to elevate everyday meals.' These new items will be available at Midwest grocers like Cub, Piggly Wiggly, Woodman's, Festival and more this summer.

FDA Announces Recall on Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal for Potential Metal Contamination
Post Consumer Brands, LLC, has issued a recall for select boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats because the cereal may be contaminated with foreign material, specifically metal. In total, more than 5,300 cases of Post Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds are being recalled due to potential metal contamination. Post initially issued the recall on May 28, 2025, and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) classified it as a 'Class II' recall, meaning eating the cereal 'may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,' on June 12, 2025. The recalled Honey Bunches of Oats cereal was sold at stores in two states: California and Colorado. To determine if you have the contaminated cereal, look for the following information on the packaging: 48-ounce (3-pound) boxes of Post Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, Sweetened Cereal with Oats and Honey with two bags inside; UPC 8 84912-01428 3; "Best If Used By" Date APR0926 RCA and APR1026 RCA No other Honey Bunches of Oats cereals or Post products are impacted by this recall. Because the recall was announced in May, the impacted cereal is likely not available for purchase anymore. However, you should check the boxes in your pantry. If you have the recalled cereal, do not consume it. Instead, throw it away or return it to the original place of purchase for a refund or replacement. Additionally, if you discarded the box, but purchased Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds cereal in California or Colorado and still have it in your home, you should not consume it out of an abundance of caution. At this time, the FDA hasn't reported any injuries caused by eating the contaminated cereal. Read the original article on ALLRECIPES

LAKEVILLE, Minn., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate National Volunteer Month, Post Consumer Brands employees from 18 U.S. and Canadian locations united for the company's fourth-annual volunteer initiative, Ingredients for Good, contributing more than 67,000 meals and snack packs and 24,000 pet food packs to local families facing food insecurity.

Post to shutter 2 cereal plants, cut 300 jobs
This story was originally published on Food Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Food Dive newsletter. Post Holdings plans to close cereal manufacturing facilities in Cobourg, Ontario, and Sparks, Nevada, as the breakfast staple continues to struggle. The facilities, which collectively employ approximately 300 workers, are expected to close by the end of December. The broader cereal segment has struggled as consumers turn to low-carb diets, cut sugar or shift to more convenient and portable foods, such as protein bars and yogurt. IBISWorld estimated cereal revenue will decline 1.7% to $11.8 billion in 2025. During its earnings call in February, Post said changing consumer preferences and niche brands with better-for-you ingredients have chipped away at the market share of the cereal giants. Cereal volumes during Post's recent quarter declined 2.3%. The St. Louis company behind Honey Bunches of Oats and Fruity Pebbles is now taking steps to bring its production in line with consumer demand. "The ready-to-eat cereal category continues to decline,' Nicolas Catoggio, CEO of Post Consumer Brands, said in a statement. 'To respond to this, we are reducing excess manufacturing capacity and optimizing our North American plant network to better utilize our production capacity." Post expects to transfer production to other Post Consumer Brands facilities and face pretax charges of $63.5 million to $67.5 million due to the closures and job cuts. Post said the Ontario facility has been run by the company since July 2017, when it acquired Weetabix. The Nevada location has been part of the business since June 2021, when Post purchased the Treehouse Foods ready-to-eat cereal business. A year after the acquisition, Post announced it would spend up to $110 million to expand cereal production capacity at the Nevada facility, but it never moved forward with the project.
