Q: Does this item contain Red40? Or the nasty blue stuff or is it made using natural food colourings (like beets)

submitted by EmmaInWashington - 1 year ago
  • A: Yes, it has red 40 on the ingredient list. :(

    submitted byChristina - 1 year ago
  • A: Look where it says 'Details' and you can read all the ingredients and nutritional values, it will show you how much sugar and sodium there is per serving.

    submitted byTlynfav - 7 months ago
  • A: The General Mills Honey Nut Cherrios Cereal does NOT contain any Red 40 or any other food coloring, check the ingredients listing for each specific Cheerios flavor.

    submitted byTlynfav - 8 months ago
  • A: It shouldn't. But it does.

    submitted byAJ - 10 months ago

Q: Why aren't you showing pictures of the entire box? A lot of food items Target sells has bioengineered ingredients and consumers should be aware.

submitted by No Thank You - 2 years ago
  • A: Confirmed these have bioengineered food ingredients

    submitted byhpycmpr - 2 years ago
  • A: You don't need to see the entire box, look where it says 'Details' and you can read all the ingredients and nutritional values. To answer your question NO the cereal has NO bioengineered ingredients.

Q: is this gluten free like other Cheerios?

submitted by gf - 5 years ago
  • A: It is gluten free don’t confuse consumers! It doesn’t have any GLUTEN

    submitted byDe - 1 year ago
  • A: No, this isn't a Gluten Free cereal. Please refer directly to the product packaging, as formulas can sometimes change.

Q: dry cups per serving?

submitted by tall - 2 years ago
  • A: It states 12 serving per container but that would be equal to 2oz. per serving. The box is 24oz. so if you want a 1cup serving there would only be 3 servings per box as 8oz. is equal to 1 cup.

    submitted byTlynfav - 2 years ago
  • A: You are confusing weight and volume. The box is measured by weight but the serving is measured by volume. These are very different I have ir and you get quite a few servings er box.

    submitted byUSA - 1 year ago

Q: is this cereal gluten free

submitted by Maggie Mae - 5 years ago
  • A: No, this cereal isn't Gluten Free. Please always check the product packaging to verify whether or not one of our cereals is Gluten Free, as recipes can sometimes change.

    submitted byPublished by General Mills - 5 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: It's as gluten free as any of the cheerios actually labelled gluten free. They use whole grain oats in all, not certified gluten free oats, so even the ones labeled gluten free may have traces.

    submitted byKatisGlutenFree - 4 years ago

Q: What is the expiration date?

submitted by Unuque - 7 months ago
  • A: It will depend on the individual box you purchase. The box(s) shown in the advertisement online could have been taken in the past. You would have to go to the store and look at the specific box you want to buy or add a note to your shopper if you purchase online.

    submitted byColoradoTarget - 6 months ago

Q: Why is the sugar content not shown on the boxes pictured nor in the details?

submitted by Fred - 9 months ago
  • A: If you look at the ingredients label and click on “show more” and you’ll find the information about sugar content.

    submitted byColoradoTarget - 6 months ago

Q: Are these cereals high in sugar?

submitted by deeangel557 - 1 year ago
  • A: It depends on what Cheerios you get, read where it shows "Details" it will give you all the ingredients and nutritional values of everything in the Cheerios you chose. Original are very low in sugar.

    submitted byTlynfav - 1 year ago

Q: Percentage of sugar?

submitted by yola - 1 year ago
  • A: Depends in which flavor you buy, check out the "Details" to see all the ingredients and nutritional facts. Original are very low, Pumpkin and Fruit are higher, check out in DETAILS for exact values.

    submitted byTlynfav - 1 year ago

Q: can anyone explain the errors on the nutrition label? first of all something is missing in the micronutrients, and apparently milk adds zero protein.

    Too many out of date grocery products.

    This at least the second time I’ve received out of date grocery items that were out of “sell by” or “best by” date. This particular purchase was out of date almost 5 months.

    Waiting for the removal of Trisodium Phosphate

    I remain at 3 stars for the Trisodium Phosphate being in the ingredients list still. It is not a safe substance for anyone with kidney issues, cardiovascular/heart issues, or those with osteoporosis. It is in so many foods these days that every little bit adds to the phosphorus buildup and it is absolutely NOT a necessary thing to put into food. Hopefully one day it'll be removed and we can enjoy these tasty little O's once again.
    Good foods only
    From Cheerios team
    We appreciate your feedback. Trisodium phosphate is a water-soluble salt that is used in a wide variety of food products. It is approved as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We use small amounts of trisodium phosphate in some of our cereals to help improve the texture, making every bite crunchy and delicious. Actually, the trisodium phosphate does its work in the dough stage, and then mostly dissolves as the dough is made into cereal, so very little – if any – TSP is present after the cereal is made. Rest assured, we will share your feedback with our team.

    Original apple cheerios was much better

    The apple cheerios used to have bits of apple and was tastier. The move to apple puree has lowered this products quality.

    New favorite cereal

    So freaking good. I’ve always loved the Honey Nut Cheerios, but these are my new favorite Cheerios! It’s like an insanely good combo between Cheerios and honey bunches of oat. I’m obsessed

    Delicious, easy, high protein!

    These have become a pantry staple for me. The consistency of the protein Cheerios are a bit different from regular oat Cheerios (they’re a bit denser because of the pea protein), so that’s something to keep in mind. If you can get past that part and are looking for a way to boost your protein in the morning, these are a great option.

    Pleasantly Surprised

    Okay, I know the protein trend is out of hand and I’m not buying into it fully - who needs protein in their water?! But my dietician and I were coming up with alternative ways for me to get protein at breakfast as I was getting bored or after felt I had too much to eat in order to get my exchanges. We landed on Protein Cheerios as a starch/protein option. I tried it one day last week and it was great. It was a new way to get protein and it sustained me until snack time.

    Bio Engineered Honey Nut Cheerios

    I love Honey Nut Cheerios but noticed on the back of the box they are Bio Engineered! For god sakes why? I will stop eating them now and pass that info onto others!!!!
    Carolyn
    From Cheerios team
    Hi! GMOs are used very commonly in the food industry, and if a food or a beverage product lists corn, soy, canola or sugar as an ingredient - and the product is not organic - it likely contains GMOs. GMOs are safe – we would not use them if we thought otherwise. Safe food is, and always has been our number one priority. Global food and safety regulatory bodies including the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) and the WHO (World Health Organization) have also verified their safety.
