Check the nutrition panel per 100g before adding cereal to your basket: under UK rules, a “high fibre” claim requires at least 6g per 100g or 3g per 100kcal. Kellogg’s All-Bran Fibre Plus has the highest stated fibre figure among the compared products, but format, ingredients, allergens and the current delivered pack can be more important for your household. Review the exact listing before checkout and check the pack again on delivery.
For readers who want to compare fibre density and the stated serving contribution before adding cereal to an online basket. Compare fibre per 100g first, then consider whether the listed serving reflects the amount you expect to eat. UK food-claim rules and manufacturer nutrition panels support this approach.
For shoppers choosing between wheat-bran cereal, wholegrain wheat biscuits, oats and fruit-and-nut muesli, where wheat, gluten, barley, milk, nuts or possible cross-contact may affect the decision.
For readers who need nutrition and allergen information before checkout and want to verify the delivered pack, as recipes and nutrition declarations can change.
Start with the fibre figure per 100g, then check the serving size, format and current ingredient information for the exact cereal in your online order.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fibre comparison | Compare fibre per 100g before comparing portions. In the UK, legislation.gov.uk states that a high-fibre claim requires at least 6g per 100g or 3g per 100kcal. Then note the stated serving size. | I want a cereal with a clearly stated fibre contribution, rather than relying on front-of-pack wording alone. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredient list and allergen statement for wheat, barley, milk, peanuts, tree nuts and any “may contain” wording. Check the exact variant, not just the cereal type. | Our household needs ingredients that fit its dietary restrictions and allergen requirements. |
| Breakfast format | Choose between ready-to-eat cereal and oats requiring liquid and hob or microwave preparation. Check whether the listed portion matches your usual breakfast routine. | I need a format that works for the time I have in the morning, whether that is a cold bowl or prepared porridge. |
| Online pack details | Review nutrition and allergen information on the product page before checkout. For prepacked food sold online, legislation.gov.uk requires mandatory food information before purchase and at delivery. | I want to confirm the current product details, especially when an allergen or nutrient figure matters to my choice. |
Stated serving sizes differ between cereals, so a larger portion can show more fibre per bowl even when its fibre density is lower.
Compare fibre per 100g first, then decide whether the manufacturer’s serving size is close to the amount you will eat.
