Cheerios makes major change to cereal boxes after years of consumer complaints

General Mills is partnering with Ziploc to introduce resealable bags inside traditional cereal cardboard boxes after years of consumer complaints. The new packaging features a Ziploc PantrySeal system designed to let cereal eaters open, pour, and zip the bag shut securely without using clips, rubber bands, or separate storage containers. Ninety percent of cereal eaters reportedly take extra steps to keep their breakfast food fresh. The collaborative effort aims to resolve a persistent issue with standard inner liners that resist folding and closing properly once opened.
