Kellogg's Nutri-Grain with Chocolate Malt made me vomit! We've always like Kellogg's Nutri-Grain but recently by accident took home a pack of the vile version with Chocolate Malt balls (if indeed they are actually chocolate). A revolting chemical taste with a texture like cardboard. A couple of us were actually sick due to this garbage. It was… Read more
so bad we'll stop buying the original Kellogg's Nutri-Grain for a while, as the memory of the filthy poisoned version remains long. Needs to say, the box with the Chocolate Malt rubbish was immediately thrown out. at least it will poison a few rats at the rubbish dump!
Terrible. Nutri grain was our family staple since it came out. It doesn't taste anything like the odd one. The company states that is new and improved. Unfortunately I do not like the new and improved. I have stopped buying it. Last time I purchased it was a month ago. I used to buy three of the biggest boxes a fortnight. Show details
I bought the Nutra grain because it was on sale and I could afford it. I didn’t notice that it as malt I did notice 12.7 protein.it doesn’t taste like the nutra grain I liked before at all very bland I will read labels properly of any cereal before I buy from now on & it’s only 64% Aust owned Show details

This time Black contamination looks similar to charcoal. Last year I Complained about bluish coloured particle blobs in Special K Cereal and was given an apology and a $10 voucher. They then said it was accumulated product from on machines. Now what alarms me is that within one year I've had 2 contamination problems - only in kelloggs brand and I… Read more
don't buy too many of theirs a year, because I also use Aldi brands! I don't have the docket cause it was bought a month or so ago at Woolies Tweed Heads South on special in the back to school catalogue. I wonder if others have had it. It bothers me that large contaminants pass by any Quality Control and potentially into the mouths of families. I don't care much for an another apology, rather people need to know and be cautious when they serve foods to their children.
Cardboard tasting cereal – Kellogs nutri grain choc malt flavour don’t buy it should of stuck with the original nutri grain the choc malt flavour with choc balls it’s like eating cardboard close your eyes and eat it has no flavour whatsoever and upon that $5 on sale stick at what you guys do best the original nutri grain because these spoiled the brand name Show details

And nearly every time ) And it's not a complaint about this product, but it is annoying to cut myself because of the sharp box of it. I love this nutri grain , so healthy, kids love it, beautiful But - Box.

I love it! – Nutri-grain is my favourite cereal to eat! I've eating it for a while. I missed eating it for 3-4 years! The taste is so good! Buy this kind of cereal, you'll be happy. Show details
THE PRICE IS RIGHT @ $5 FOR 809G – How cereal makers/supermarkets can justify almost $10 for a box of air, corn, oats and wheat is beyond me !. Finally some relief, as huge cereal specials have hit the shelves in the past 2 months and we're back to where the prices should be of 2016 (NG was $4.95 for 809g). Ironman food shouldn't come with an iron made price !
Healthy & yummy – I quite like it, doesn't need added sugar and its a quick breakfast. Most of you are wrong saying that its unhealthy. Everything in moderation is ok. Those of you who over indulge, learn to moderate what you eat instead of stuffing your face :p
Negative reviews
New taste – I must say that the chocolate range of Nutra grain to me is a failure why mess around with a great taste I’m going back to the original,much better. Show details
Not the same – After many many years I felt like some Nutri-Grain so I bought a large box. Oh boy it was I disappointed. It was a lot lighter in colour and absolutely tasteless. Probably the best use for it I can think of is feeding the chickens. Why did they stuff up a once great product?
Not the same as it use to be – Hubby brought this back with him (to Canada) on his last trip to Australia. It was my childhood fav. But this is not the Nutri Grain cereal I grew up on. I wouldn’t buy this again. Tasteless. The stuff I grew up on was half the size, a LOT darker, and sweeter. This stuff is bland. Show details

Not the same as the 80's version – You poor kids of today will never know how much better these tasted in the 1980's. Today they taste like light, foamy, dry cardboard. The 80's version was a crisp glazed sugary wonder.
Such disappointment – Chemical after-taste Flavour has been altered I haven't eaten it in years, decided to have some and the recipe had been completely altered. Such a shame! Will never buy again! Most concerning is the chemical after-taste Show details
They've Ruined Nutri-Grain – Just bought a huge value box after not having this product in ages. It's terrible!!! The flavour is gone and its not even the same brown colour. I'm so disappointed. I was ready for childhood memories and got a giant box of wth homebrand misery. Never buying this again - it's chook food. Show details
Sadly, It's all about the $$$. And it's our kids who r unwittingly putting up with inferior products – Here's a thought instead of slowly over time reducing the flavour year after year, try improving it or leaving it alone. Sadly disappointed
F**king disgusting!! – Tastes like FISH SAUCE!! I am not even joking it literally tastes like fish burley I don't know what the hell they are doing bit this isn't edible Show details
My son went from eating these everyday to not eating them at all – My son used to eat these everyday, yes they maybe healthier but he doesn't like the new recipe.
Nutrigrain – Just tasted some dry Nutri Grain pieces it has a strong distinct chemical taste it has left a weird feeling in my mouth. Thank goodness i didnt add milk as I may not have noticed, its terrible.
Don't buy – Always had nutrigrain in my earlier years. Thought I'd give it a go again. It tastes nothing like it use to. A very Bitter strange taste these days. Almost has a chemical taste. Will never buy again Show details
Funny taste – We’ve always had Nutri-grain but in the past few months I’ve noticed a strange bitter taste and that the pieces stick together and go hard. I didn’t think anything of it because I thought maybe I was just being fussy, until my mum also said something seemed off.

Horrible - not the same as it used to be – I haven't had for years and just bought (as my fav Crunchy Nut was not available due to pandemic supply chain lol). It has a funny taste now not the nice flavour it used to, and as other reviewers have noted it goes soggy super-quick. Show details
Changed so much – I thought I would try Nutri Grain again after a few years and was extremely disappointed. Tastes nothing like the original and turns soggy fast. Not sure why they changed but will never buy it again. Show details
Horrible, not like it once was – I had a craving for it after not eating it for quite a few years. I remember it being crunchy and a malt type flavour. I'm so disappointed, the colour is not the same and its tasteless, turns to mush in milk with on seconds! Don't buy, it's terrible.... Show details
Different taste to original recipe – The Nutri grain has changed recipe. It is now very bland and tasteless. Often the bulk buy box seems worse than the smaller more expensive box. It is often stuck together, and there seems to be a different coating. The taste is not the same and it is very bland. Show details
Nutrigrain – Really disappointed I used to buy this cereal for my children so haven’t had it in years. Thought I’d give it a go and was appalled at the lack of quality and taste. Come on Kellogg’s you can do better than this. Also what’s with the angry people on the back? Have they just eaten nutrigrain as well? Show details
Tasteless, dry and all stuck together – Just purchased 805g box on special at Coles. Use by 27/10/21. Box felt strange as the product was quite solid. When opened, the cereal was stuck together and had to be crumbled into a bowl. Added milk and found the product to be completely bland and flavorless. Back to muesli and fruit for me. Show details
Hard as a rock and tasteless – Fact ... hard as a rock and tasteless .. cost the same of course" Made in thailand... what is wrong with us Australia!!!! (we need some factories to produce something decent please) Will not be buying O stars Show details
Horrible – Should never have changed recipie. Just awful now. Knew instantly it wasn’t the same. Big blunder Kellogg’s! Shouldn’t fix something that ain’t broken. Never buying again. Threw it in the bin. Show details

NutriGrain CRAP. hab to throw the box in the bin and wont get another for another 20yrs.
SOOO disappointed – I bought a few boxes on sale for my British husband ("check out this weird Aussie cereal"). We felt like having some rubbishy junk food in the cupboard and I thought this would be great as we can have it with milk or dry for snacking. It's better than lollies, has some fibre, tastes good. Well, disappointed on all fronts - not the firm, crunchy,… Read more
almost malty delight I remember, but puffy packing noodles that turn to mush, instead. Personally, I think people can choose what to eat - anyone who EVER fell for the marketing and thought it was healthy was distinctly dim. Like fruit loops, we only ever had it for an occasional treat, like cakes or chocolate. Now, we can't even do that because the flavour and texture are all awful, unlike what I remember from childhood. In an attempt to keep sales, they lost more sales... cutting off noses to spite faces? Never again.
Shame!!!!!! – My wife from asia is in australia after a long road, eager to show her the be all, end all of australian breakfast cerial that isnt weetbix, I happily purchased a big box Trying a dry piece she told me it taste like popcorn and nice .. Confused how in anyones mind nutrigrain taste like popcorn.. I had a bowl full with milk Well! What the… Read more
absolute hell is this?
A defective box? Missed ingredients? Another brand? Another dimension??
Puffy bloated slightly crunchy things in no way resembling the classic ooo shape, That.. As my wife rightfully said.. Taste like popcorn
YUCK! Complete fail kelloggs, Everyone knew the original stuff was loaded with sugar, malt, honey.. It was breakfast lollies... That everyone loved
Anyone who thought this was healthy and took the box at its word are likely the kind of people who cant use a can opener in thier mid 30s
Like many here.. My port of call is now woolworths MAX CHARGE
You have fun catching snowflakes with the new recipe
Heres a hint... Most vocal snowflakes dont have jobs.. So.. Poor sales for caving into a minority
So alas.. On her first week in australia My wife will be enjoying generic brand cerial that tastes better than the original
Lets see trolleys full woolworths, coles and aldi's version be flying off the shelves now in full rejection of a change no one wanted
Makes me proud to be australian really :)
How crapful – New nutri grain is absolutely dog crap. All I can say is damn you for turning my favourite breakfast item to cardboard dog crap. Will never buy again. Stick to corn flakes Show details
Idiots – You need some new marketing people in there. I would buy it every week if i saw a girtl on an add. Listened to a few shows where your marketing team is a joke you are bagged. I would buy it tomorrow if the boys club woke up Show details
