Cheerios and Ziploc have partnered to introduce resealable packaging inside cereal boxes, responding to years of consumer requests. The new Cheerios with Ziploc PantrySeal uses a partially opening bag that creates a pour spout and can then be resealed to keep cereal fresh and prevent spills.
According to a December 2025 survey by consumer insights platform Suzy, 90 per cent of cereal eaters take additional steps to preserve freshness, including using clips, clothespins and cereal containers. General Mills said Cheerios and Ziploc receive hundreds of thousands of requests, comments and reactions annually about cereal packaging. Emilie Knox, vice president and business unit director for Cheerios at General Mills, said the new packaging 'takes a small, everyday cereal frustration and finally gives consumers the simple solution they've been asking for'.
Cheerios and Honey-Nut Cheerios with the new packaging launched on Walmart.com this week and will roll out to other retailers across the coming months. The change addresses a frustration that has been widely discussed on social media, with users questioning why resealable packaging has not become standard for cereal.
