Dick Smith's Bushfoods Breakfast

Not much bush food. Too much sugar – This used to be my favourite cereal, however since the ownership changed, the cereal is bland. The formula seems different. The amount of 'bush food' is very low ( wattleseeds <0.1%, lemon myrtle <0.1%, macadamias <1%, wild rosella extract <0.1%, forrestberry herb <0.1%. It is now sweet ( although less sweet than many mueslis), containing sugar,… Read more

golden syrup, honey and dextrine. The sugars constitute 20.9 grams (10%). I'll stick to Vitabrits which has less than 1% sugar and a lot more flavour.

Change the recipe back – What have you done to the recipe? It used to be my favourite and was always sold out. Now I know why it’s always available. Please please please go back to the old recipe. This new blend is bland, floury and just not nice.I won’t be buying this until it changes back to original recipe. Show details

Just love this for breakfast sometimes it’s not available so buy up – Yummy really enjoyable also with berries or banana. I buy a few boxes so I don’t run out Show details

My cereal of choice – I loath muesli but really like this breakfast cereal. Its pricey and the cost has continued to increase over the last 18mths I have been buying it. $5 to $5.65 for my last packet. I agree with one comment that there seems to be heaps of crumbly bits in the bottom now and not many macadamia nuts in my last packet. Guys I dont mind paying a bit… Read more

extra for a healthier and very tasty breakfast but with increased pricing and reduced quality I will have to look for alternatives if this does continue. Come on guys you had a good product so keep the same quality it originally had.

Devastated to find Woollies in Brisbane have just stopped stocking Bush Foods! – I love Farmers Company Australian Bush Foods! It is light, not too sweet, and Australian. Periodically I'd try the all the other toasted mueslies, granolas, etc that Woollies stock. I find them all over-sweet and cloying by comparison. to Bush Foods. The recipe did change when Dick Smith handed it over to Farmers Company but luckily those key factors remained. I'm hoping Coles keeps stocking it. Show details

Good but diminished in size – Have been eating this cereal for a number of years now, what we have noticed is that it is quite often missing from shelves at Woolworths and Coles, ?? The biggest dissapointment now is the package size has diminished very noticeably recently, and was already more expensive than other brands, we want to buy Australia products, but the producers can't expect consumers to keep being loyal when they are reducing value in their products. Show details

Not as good as it used to be – For the most part I really enjoy the cereal, but it is not what it used to be, but generally that is ok. This box I have however is full of what is normally the bottom of the bag crumbs! Where was quality control when that bag was filled?? Disappointed that the quality is suffering under the new owners Show details

Bad puffed wheat – Since the decision to change the puffed wheat a while back it still has not changed so time again to stop buying it for another period so the company might get the hint again and maybe change it. As for the other ingredients the product is good. Hoping this review might get to someone in the company and eventually get it to 100 percent again.

Telletstraight – Great cereal lots of natural seeds! What happened to it! Not available in Coles or Woolies anymore! Where can I buy it! Update: 12/7/24 It had returned to shelves after a hiatus! Yay! Show details

Don't listen to the haters. This cereal is elite! – I'll tell anyone who will listen, there is no better cereal out there. Don't listen to the haters there's plenty of fruit and macadamias inside. I've been eating this cereal for 11 years. We're lucky this cereal exists. This cereal stays crunchy, has a great amount of fruit, isn't too sweet, is 100% Australian and 100% delicious. Show details

My favourite cereal – I’m a child and one taste of this cereal with some fresh grapes and I was hooked. A healthy alternative and tastes better than every sugary cereal. I don’t even care about eating healthy, I choose this cereal because it tastes elite.

Definitely a winner in my house – This is great cereal without needing sugar and not being too sweet like most cereals out there today, as well as not getting soggy. And I like blackcurrants better than sultanas in cereal. Support Aussie products.  Show details

Aussie breakfast for Aussies – A great mix of healthy cereals to start the day. Just the right amount of nuts, fruit & cereal - adding milk & yoghurt completes the meal. Knowing it is 100% Australian makes it even better. Show details

After years of looking, Ive finally found the perfect cereal – It is instant, has a great texture and taste - not too sweet and not bland. Goes well with yoghurt and fresh fruit. Perfect for me! Show details

My choice of the cereals for the contents and quality – I really like this as the bush foods taste amazing and I don't eat carb based cereals and sugar cereals and wheat cereals or oat based ones at all, so this one is the only way I eat cereal, thanks !

Bush foods fantastic idea but – Great product using bush foods loved the idea of eating our great bush food but. .. was so disappointed at the small amount of actual bush food it contains and there's way too much sugar and hidden sugar in it.big pic of honey very deceptive imagine if that pic was replaced with pic of sugar... Tut tut tut Dick....your slipping . Show details

Bush cereal- super disappointed – Was once my fav cereal. It used to be summery and tropical. Full of flavour and dried fruit and macadamias. Now it's literally a bunch of different grains & some currants. Show details

Not happy Dick – Please please please bring back the old one my husband and I absolutely loved it the new one is ok but not the same to much puff weet not enough nut and fruit

Most impressed – I will certainly keep buying this product from Dick Smith. Simply add milk and it is delicious. I also found that it is very filling (I wasn't hungry again half an hour later). Show details

Original cereal – My family loved original recipe of Dick Smith cereal. Was an all round favourite. New recipe to much puffed wheat no nuts and frankly a bit tasteless. Why the change. Would have happily paid more for original recipe. Show details

Very Happy – As I did not try the old version of this product I cannot compare. Sadly, manufacturers change/go out of business so new ones have to be found. I really enjoyed this product and certainly don't find it tastes like cardboard unlike Uncle Tobys Shredded Wheat which I used to eat and now find totally unpalatable. The weight is the same as other brands except they are not wasting cardboard by filling it with air.

Yum! – Love this cereal! There is a slight difference but otherwise it’s the same! I love that profits go to charity and that it’s up to 93% Australian! If you keep making it I’ll keep buying it!

Why call it BUSH FOODS when there are no bush foods in it??? – This is false advertising. My wife is European and thought she would try some Australian bush food, only to find that there are no bush foods in the cereal. Could not find 2% of the wattle seeds in it. I used to admire Dick Smith for trying to do the right thing but I think his wealth has changed his attitude. Don't lie to us Dick!

Is anyone still buying this stuff? – Is anyone coming back for seconds? This used to be hands down the most delicious cereal around. Thankfully version 1.0 was still around just over a year ago when I was going through my morning sickness. It was the only thing I could keep down. If I was given version 2.0 back then, I'm sure I would have projectile vomited the contents right back in your face!

Bring back the old one! – Bush foods was the only relatively nutritional food my partner loved to eat. Now his snacking has turned to chocolate and sweets and has told me not to bother buying it again. Disappointing when you spend near $6 a box and there are so many other cereals available much cheaper.

Once my favourite, but no more! – What a pale imitation of what this cereal used to be! Every ingredient is the same beige colour and dry, dusty texture and I'm yet to find any of the promised mango Even the amount of currants seems to have been halved! I can only guess that cost cuts have driven this change. So sad. I'll keep checking the cereal aisle in the hope that the… Read more

company sees sense and returns to the previous recipe, which was lovely! But I won't be purchasing this again.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!! – This use to be our favourite family breakfast cereal - everyone from our 2 year old up to our grandad use to love it. So you can imagine our disappointment when it disappeared off the shelves in the supermarkets and then our excitement when it reappeared again! But...yuk!!! The new recipe is very different and so much sweeter than it use to be. … Read more

Even our 2 year old won't eat it anymore! I'm not sure why they changed a great Australian breakfast cereal. We no longer buy it and looking at the other reviews many others are disappointed too. Go back to the original recipe Dick!

It`s all about profit making – This new product is cheap and not enjoyable. I have been buying the original Bush breakfast cereal for years but not any more. So disappointed. If you decide to go back and use original ingredients please let me know.

Why change a good product – Had been buying bush foods for a long time, then they changed it tastes like cardboard. The last box had a grand total of 11/2 macadamia nuts not at all satisfory. Macadamia nuts are the first listed in ingredients. Will be looking for another breakfast cereal.
