The New York Times fact-checked itself in an embarrassing attempt to fact-check Trump’s nominee for HHS

The New York Times fact-checked itself in an attempt to fact-check President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services ( HHS ) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made the claim in an interview with MSNBC that he questioned why the Canadian version of the cereal has fewer ingredients than the U.S. version.

Kennedy was wrong on the ingredient count, they are roughly the same, but the paper found fault with Kennedy because he failed to distinguish between artificial ingredients and natural ones.
