Bouth brothers started the Sanitas Food Company to produce their own grain cereals around 1897. In the 1890s, Kellogg established a laboratory at the sanitarium to develop more nutritious foods. His brother, Will Keith Kellogg, joined in his research. In 1895 they developed a breakfast cereal of wheat flakes called Granose.

1. The cereal consists of rice-corn-wheat-barley-oats and rye. Plants above the rice-wheat and maize are the most important.

5. Some cereals, such as shredded wheat, are fairly resistant to damage from moisture. They may be placed directly into cardboard boxes lined with plastic. Most cereals must BE PACKAGEDBE PACKAGED in airtight, waterproof plastic bags within cardboard boxes to protect them from spoiling.

6. An automated machine packages the cereal at a rate of about 40 boxes per minute. The box is assembled from a flat sheet of cardboard, which has been previously printed with the desired pattern for the outside of the box. The bottom and sides of the box are sealed with a strong glue. The bag IS FORMEDIS FORMED from moisture-proof plastic and inserted into the box.

• The product it doesn’t contaminates, the peeled of the cereals it contaminates because it’s product caustic soda, the problem is when it’s thrown to the sea and contaminates the water and the agricultural land.
