Stop the halt in production of Ricicles due to the sugar tax bring Ricicles Back
Due to the governments introduction of the sugar tax, Kelloggs have decided to cease production of the Ricicles brand. I believe this should be upto the consumer whether or not they want to buy a high in sugar content cereal not the government.
Ricicles are only produced in the UK and was a staple part of my up bringing, even when living in other countries. I understand obesity/ un-healthy living needs to be combated, however why should a manufacturer be forced to stop producing a popular product that is enjoyed by millions of healthy children throughout the UK.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
In any case, the "sugar tax" is a levy on soft drinks, not on other products containing sugar. You can find out more here:
