Capn crunch, Kroger, Tiffin Avenue, Findlay, OH, USA

3 years ago •reported by user-ddkk2775 • details

I felt nauseous almost immediately after eating Cap’n Crunch. Normally, I eat healthy food, without food additives, so I believe this is related to the food additives found in cereal. | Symptoms: Nausea
