ST. LOUIS, May 21, 2019 – As a follow up to his widely successful Bueno Mojo Salsa, Matt Carpenter is now taking on breakfast with his very own cereal, Carpenter’s Crunch.

Carpenter’s Crunch is a Honey Nut Toasted Oats cereal that is packaged in a 14oz limited edition collector’s box featuring the third baseman. The cereal is available exclusively at St. Louis-area Schnucks locations while supplies last, and as an added bonus, Schnucks will donate a portion of sales of the cereal to the Folds of Honor foundation.

“As the St. Louis hometown grocer, Schnucks is once again proud to partner with Matt Carpenter to offer our customers an exciting and exclusive product,” said Schnucks Breakfast Category Manager Ranse Streng.
