I  quote from the article titled "Kellogg Corn Flakes", originally 
published  February 15, 1980.... 


,,,"However, a number of cereals and other products enjoy the trust of the  
Orthodox community. This is no accident. Some reliable kashrus experts have 
 examined these products and found them to be acceptable. "This question 
was  raised recently by a well-known authority on kashrus. Those kashrus  
organizations who investigated Kellogg and found certain products to be  
acceptable have done accurate research. But, how can we be certain that Kellogg  
will continue to produce kosher corn flakes? ...

"Shall we assume that if  they decide to change ingredients in one of the 
"acceptable" cereals in order to  save some money, Kellogg will place a large 
advertisement in the Jewish papers  in order to notify us all. Far from it. 
The Kellogg company right now has no one  to answer to since nobody 
certifies their kashrus...."

....One could  still argue: Do such products need supervision or not?

>>>>>
The article you quoted gives one very strong argument in favor of  
hechsherim as opposed to lists:  if a company is under contract with a  kashrus 
agency, it can't change the ingredients in its supervised products  without 
informing the kashrus agency.
