Nevada: Upset Hindus are seeking the resignation and apology of Kellogg’s CEO John A Bryant for non-disclosure of beef in some of its cereals and other products, and immediate recall of all such items from the market. Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement, said that it was shocking for Hindus to learn that some of the cereals they had been eating for years contained beef while there was no mention of it under the ingredients mentioned on the packages.

Consumption of beef is highly conflicting to Hindu beliefs, Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, said. Kellogg has admitted that Gelatin derived from beef is found in some of the products. Rajan said that it was a very serious issue for the devotees and would severely hurt their feelings when they would come to know that they were unknowingly eating beef-laced cereals. Rajan said that it was the time for Kellogg to demonstrate its “commitment to integrity and ethics” by admitting their error of not being transparent enough to mention what is inside the package so that an ordinary consumer could make right and appropriate choices.
