UK supermarkets share cereal update following Kellogg’s ‘disgusting’ Rice Krispies change

Résumé détaillé

Metro checked with M&S, Aldi, Lidl, Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury's, and more.

Cereal lovers are still in mourning for their beloved Snap, Crackle, and Pop.

Kellogg’s recently confirmed it has made a major change to the Rice Krispies recipe, and the cereal is no longer what it once was.

The puffed rice cereal no longer contains actual rice, and is instead made from rice flour, causing the traditional snap, crackle and pop sounds to become ‘quieter’.

Coco Pops also changed, with the rice being swapped for rice flour and corn flour.

The cereal giant blamed ‘changing weather conditions’, saying the ‘quality and availability of the rice and grains’ they use has been affected and they’d made the changes to ‘help maintain consistent quality’.

Those disappointed by the ‘disgusting’ new cereal have taken to social media to reveal the supermarket own-brand versions they’ll be buying instead – from Aldi’s Crisp Rice to M&S’s Choco Pops.

Metro contacted UK supermarkets to find out if they have plans to remove rice from their takes on the iconic Rice Krispies and Coco Pops.

And the update is positive! The vast majority of retailers have confirmed they have no plans to change their recipes.
