I don't know if this is the right forum, but I'd like to get information (not speculation) from someone with knowledge on this.
I see a little label on some cereals in the grocery (I live in Trinidad & Tobago) with the label in the thread title. There are a few variations as well, including "Made in the USA for Export Only. It's usually displayed quite prominently. I see it a lot on Quaker cereals.
What do those labels mean, exactly? It's reasonable to suspect that they've been deemed unsuitable for the US market for quality/safety reasons, and dumped in the developing world, but I see a lot of other cereals that don't bear that label. Is it some sort of price- or shipping-related technicality, or should I start avoiding these foods?
