We have not considered temporary or seasonal work as it is not explicit whether the risk is present in the supply chain.

Pg. 5

“A variety of factors may increase human rights risks, including temporary or seasonal work status and weak enforcement of legal protections.”

Pg. 8

“Some raw materials have a higher likelihood of modern slavery risks due to conditions in the countries in which they are grown and/or the typical practices associated with their production. General Mills is conscious of this – especially concerning cocoa, vanilla, palm oil, seafood, and sugarcane – and has a range of measures in place to address those risks.”

"This assessment identified forced labor and child labor as the most salient issues associated with our value chain. Shift also identified wages, earnings, and working hours; freedom of association and collective bargaining; and land rights as important salient issues. A variety of factors may increase human rights risks, including temporary or seasonal work status and weak enforcement of legal protections."

I did not find the sentence saying temporary or seasonal work was not consider as a risk.
