I Investigated 15 Canadian Breakfast Cereals, Only 4 Passed
We tested 15 popular breakfast cereals sold in Canada, and only four passed our complete label test.
Liam Fraser compared each cereal using the same normalized 40-gram serving. We examined whole grains, sugar, fibre, protein, sodium, ingredient simplicity and whether the front-of-box promises matched the complete label.
Products examined include Froot Loops, Reese’s Puffs, Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Honey Nut Cheerios, Raisin Bran, Vector, Special K Original, Corn Flakes, Mini-Wheats Original Frosted, Nature’s Path Heritage Flakes, Weetabix Original, Original Cheerios and Post Shredded Wheat Original.
Which familiar cereal contained more sugar than its healthy-looking package suggested? Which simple-looking option failed because of fibre and sodium? And how did one cereal with only a single ingredient earn first place?
Our four passing products:
Nature’s Path Heritage Flakes
Weetabix Original
Original Cheerios
Post Shredded Wheat Original
A cereal failing our test does not mean it is dangerous or unsuitable for everyone. The result only means it missed one or more criteria in our comparative label scorecard. Formulas, serving sizes and Nutrition Facts can change, so always verify the package available in your store.
