BXP: What inspired the Peanut Butter Crunch cereal?
KS: Kashi always has its pulse on creating food innovations that taste good and are good for you, with positive, dense nutrition such as plant-based protein. It gets its plant protein from peanut butter, soy flakes, and grains. It’s also vegan and Non-GMO Project Verified. The crunch comes from perfectly toasted crispy, crunchy clusters made with rolled oats and puffed whole grain, which then get rolled in roasted, creamy peanut butter with the perfect balance of sweet and salty. It’s also vegan and Non-GMO Project Verified.
BXP: What is the cereal packaged in? What type of packaging is it?
KS: The carton is recycled paperboard and can be curbside recycled. The original paperboard comes from: trees, which are part of sustainably managed forests, grown specifically for paperboard. The fiber in these trees has the ability to be used multiple times, so recycling the paperboard is not only responsible, but purposeful. The film is polyethylene that can be recycled at stores.
