FTC urged antitrust suit against top cereal firms
FTC staff urged a landmark suit against Kellogg and General Mills to break up oligopolistic control of the cereal market. The agency’s five commissioners were to decide within a month whether to file, with Kellogg, General Mills, and Post making up most of a $900 million annual business. The study cites high ad spending and profits as inflating cereal prices by 15 to 26 percent and notes that the three firms hold about 83 percent of the market, locking out rivals.
