The chain sent a letter home to parents last week stating that Kids & Co. would replace Cheerios with Chex Mix in all nine of its Chicago locations and another in Boston. Meanwhile, local pediatricians caution that while parents and child care providers should do what makes them feel comfortable when it comes to protecting children, the report from the Environmental Working Group should not spark panic about dangers in popular breakfast foods.
