This seems to be a great example of something mentioned in the article that R' Michael Poppers linked to, by Rabbi Chaim Jachter, at http://koltorah.org/ravj/14-3%20Pat%20Akum%202.htm --

If someone has access to that issue of Mesorah, or any other relevant source, I hope they can enlighten me: If Oleh Al Shulchan Melachim includes even a king's breakfast and snack food, what is left? Perhaps it would include name-brand Cheerios and Jelly Belly, but not the cheaper brands?
