Cheerios, Betty Crocker and Pillsbury’s parent company are changing their ingredients – don’t eat this

When it comes to the impact of inflation on supply, sometimes you just have to be creative and deal with it. That’s what General Mills intends to do so, as the shortage has affected pizza, hot snacks, cereals and chilled cakes of the multinational brand in particular – so much so that it changes the recipe.

Materials, including starch, packaging, fats and oils, were the most demanding for him company found, leaders in an earnings call with investors at the end of March. Difficulties in obtaining ingredients are due to work challenges, logistical bottlenecks and, ultimately, the availability of things involved in foods such as Annie’s, Betty Crocker, Bugles, Cheerios, Cookie Crisp, Lucky Charms, Nature Valley, Old El Paso, Pillsbury, Yoplait and more.

“The biggest problem we see is really the choice of material. So the ingredients that come into our plants,” said Jon Nudi, president of North American retail, in the tender. “We’ve redesigned some of our products more than 20 times since.”

Part of the problem is the global shortage of supply resulting from the war in Ukraine, which has further strained oil and starch. These two ingredients are usually made from wheat, which is strong exported by Russia and Ukraine. Both countries are currently stopping sending resources. Earlier this month, General Mills said it was suspended investment in advertising and grain business in Russia in the midst of conflict.

The company has taken steps to alleviate the shortage, in addition to changing recipes such as full employment of distribution centers and setting up more teams to help logistics in sourcing products. The multinational producer will also turn to suppliers to request prioritization of some ingredients and add capacity for other products, including fruit, potatoes and cereals.

While General Mills hopes these efforts will improve its inventory, the company does not believe it will return to normal inventory levels by 2023, “where hopefully we will be able to return to more historical inventory levels,” Nudi says.
