Love the cereal component, but the fruit is not a vibe. Rock hard pieces of apricot (hardened pieces of fruit roll up) and one or two sultanas. The cost does not equate with what you get. Show details
Bought this product for a change from usual natural muesli. As a first-time user, I was expecting something a little exciting. What I got is an awful tasting blend of old dried fruit which tasted like VOMIT. Apart from the flakes, It is quite inedible with a horrible aftertaste. I ill be dropping another Nestle product as they have lost the plot and theycontinue to degade what were once ok products.
Not nearly enough fruit in it, 98% is just the bran and cornflakes. the price is not worth the lack of fruit, may as well have put none into it. The photos are front and back, I was on an archaeological dig in my bowl to find any fruit pieces. Show details

While product is good they have shrunken the plus range further which is brutally sneaky. Effective price of a 770g pack has inflated to whopping $10.50! Show details
Very disappointing that the iron plus cereal ingredients have changed from nutty clusters and vanilla puffers to just crunchy clusters without the puffers. The clusters are full of sugar, why do you make changes for the worst without any consumer awareness on the packaging? I stocked up when they were half price and now stuck with this cereal that I once enjoyed having for many years Bring back the old version.
Shrink Flation – Package has shrunk from 775 Grams to 700 Grams while keeping the price the same. This is their insidious technique for reducing value to the consumer, hoping that the customer won't notice. Show details
Pantry bugs / insects – I bought couple of Uncle Tobys Plus Antioxidants boxes from Costco Marsden park last week. We have been enjoying the cereal untill today morning when we found the pantry bugs/ insects in the cereal. (Attached images). My kids were shocked to discover them and we have to stop consuming the product. Show details

Why is Omega 3 not on the shelves – I have been buying Uncle Toby’s Omega 3 for years and it is my favourite blend. I have not seen it on the shelves for a while now and am a bit disappointed. What has happened to my favourite cereal? Show details
Can’t believe you have discontinued it – Having been buying this cereal for more than 2 years now having to go from suburb to suburb, shop to shop looking for it. Delicious and no fruit in it. Very disappointed it’s gone. Show details
Uncle Toby's Plus Calcium – I can't believe you discontinued the Calcium. It is the only one with no dried fruit, it was the only one I could eat. Very disappointed now will have to try and find another one
Negative reviews
I thought we must have just bought a bad batch but reading through the reviews over the last few years the rock sultanas are still in the mix. Was so worried I'd get a broken tooth that removing them from the bowl is a must. Show details
As a lot of avid cereal lovers I too have been addicted to this particular cereal since it was introduced .. it had been my favourite as it was amazingly delicious .. i would literally stock up buying 2-3 boxes at once !! it truly loved to its name as it was full of the listed ingredients .. The best feature were the oat clusters ..that’s what… Read more
made it soo tasty and different .. it was packed with them and soft juicy peaches Naturally we all expect a product to live to its name .. in this case they lessened the oat clusters which were the best feature .. I could literally count them .. there were times where there were none .. I even rang and complained to head office many years ago but it fell onto deaf ears .. now they have the audacity to ignore everyone’s complaints and decided to eliminate the already deleted / obsolete ingredient charging a fortune !! How ironic .. the clusters were missing for years .. it’s just that they have the “ decency” to advertise it as such .. how gracious and considerate of them !!! Yes the taste is not the same it’s very boring bland and as for the sultanas .. what sultanas ??! There are no sultanas .. I have opened the box and emptied it into a bowl and there is NOT even 1 sultana !! I wish there were as this would’ve given it some flavour .. if people don’t like them take them out or don’t buy it because there are many of us that love sultanas .. As for peach .. what peach the 3 dry morsels in this box ??!!! Are you kidding me ?? Now it’s the peaches turn to become obsolete !! Shame on you uncle tobys absolutely disgusting .. don’t undermine our intelligence don’t lie don’t advertise falsely .. stop ripping people off !!

Agree with previous poster regarding "shrinkflation" – Agree with previous poster regarding "shrinkflation" FIBRE packet also reduced from 775g to 700g. Unimpressed with any supplier who does this. Now only buy if supermarket has it on "special" Mind you, $7 "special" used to be almost full price not long ago. Show details

Quality slide to trash – I’ve now had three bowls of the cereal I used to love, fresh packet, two bowls in, trying to remain positive, allowing for some “settling of contents” third bowl, not one oat cluster still to be seen, one lousy peach bit. All the good stuff has gone, now it’s a tasteless version of just right. Very disappointing to see Uncle Tobys reduce quality to this pitiful standard, won’t try again. Show details
Used to be great… but changed recently and now awful – I have been enjoying Uncle Tobys PLUS Muesli Flakes for years. They became difficult to find at Coles/Woolworths for the last 6 months from early 2023 Finally some re-appeared a week or so ago (Oct 23). Sadly the product has been wrecked by some kind of recipe change. It now tastes like the old super sweet “Honey Smacks”. We can’t eat it, it is… Read more
so sickly sweet. Please tell the product manager they have ruined a great product with their change. Reverse the change if they can, or expect the product sales to tank rapidly.

Where have the clusters gone? – Have loved the Uncle Tobys Plus with nutty clusters for many years but now struggle to even find one in a bowl anymore. Absolutely nothing like the picture on the pack! Now tastes cheap and plain with no flavour.
Just corn flakes – Freshly bought box, cracked it open and poured a bowl, and there was ZERO dried fruits. Literally just corn flakes. An absolute cheap cop out, and a very obvious example of stingy spending by Uncle Tony’s. Be better UT! Show details
The price has jumped up and the quality has dropped dramatically – I just opened a new box of this cereal to find that the delicious crunchy white straw pieces have been replaced with some downgraded substance. So more profit and substituted poor quality ingredients. Would have previously given this a 5 start review.
Hair is an ingredient – I'd been eating it for a while. This morning, I found a long hair embedded in it, in my mouth!! Made me dry reach several times. (Product code 212536071) Put off it for life! Show details
Sultanas like rocks ..dentist visit guaranteed – This cereal has sultanas. The truth is they are rocks in disguise. I had to pick them all out as broken teeth were a certainty if consumed. Called the number on packet for consumer services. Guy I spoke to about this issue was totally disinterested, in fact I think I heard a yawn. May as well rang the pope. Definately off my wanted list. If you purchase this product keep your dentists number handy. Show details
Fruit harder than stones – Second spoon of this cereal and about my third chew. I broke my tooth and wedged a hardened sultana where it broke off. Worst pain ever missing tooth from cereal Show details

Please bring back Plus Calcium – This is the only cereal that I like, don’t like the ones with fruit in them or clusters, this one was just perfect and I am VERY disappointed you discontinued it - I will have to go back to toast Show details
Why is the best breakfast cereal discontinued ? – Uncle Tobys Plus Calcium - the best of Uncle Tobys Breakfast Cereal. Much less sugar compared with other cereal, very delicious and healthy. Hope Uncle Tobys will manufacture this cereal again. Please Please Please!!!! Show details
Calcium Plus – We always bought this cereal, very disappointed that it has disappeared off of the supermarket shelves in Woolworths and Coles. The whole family loved this cereal,I hope it is brought back. Show details
Great breakfast cereal calcium plus – Love this and have been buying it for at least 2 years but I haven’t been able to find it on the shelves I hope it hasn’t been shelved and only short of supply? I love the shaved almonds and pepita seeds Show details
where is my calcium PLUS – we have been buying this for a couple of years now and really like it Why is it in short supply or has it been dumped ????? we have tried Cols and Woolies in five suburbs but "Where has it Gone"
Too much sugar, fattening – Bought for quick breakfast that had added iron. Now mix it with albrand to reduce sugar levels serviced with high protein yogurt and skim milk. This makes it healthier if your interested. Show details
I was told if it tastes good it can't be good for you,on the contrary it tastes brilliant and its good for me – As a 50ish female,I love the plus range. I find i can go all day with just 1 serve . And ladies I could go all night on 2nd serve.. Mmm and mmm
It's the Best – I am surprised to read that some reviewers would throw out this cereal. It is delicious and I particularly like the Almonds and Pepitas. It has less sugar than others in the Uncle Tobys Plus range. Unless you are eating raw muesli, cereal is meant to go soggy. Ever eaten Weet Bix or corn flakes? That goes soggy, but this cereal has lots more flavour.
