The illustration on the cereal box shows several yellow cartoon cereal pieces, all performing different activities, from juggling to bathing in a fountain.
One character, who appears to be dressed as a janitor waxing the floors, appears to be a darker shade than the others.
Kellogg's were quick to respond to Ahmed's tweet, apologising and saying that the artwork would be "updated and in stores soon."

The small things add up. This is wrong on so many levels. Glad you’re making it right.
