What happened
Extreme weather and drought in Spain severely reduced the availability of specific rice varieties used by food manufacturers. Consequently, Kellogg’s reformulated products like Rice Krispies and Coco Pops. Rice Krispies now use rice flour instead of whole rice grains, while Coco Pops switched to a mixture of rice and corn flour.

Why it matters
The drought impacted rice planting in the Spanish province of Seville, where rice planting fell 96% below usual levels. This disruption in agricultural output and supply chain availability forces major food producers to alter their ingredient sourcing and product composition.
