The Kelloggs corn flakes product offering is very very poor. The quality of this cereal is long long way from its origins. Boxes are filled by weight and some boxes contain all the hard dregs from the manufacturing process which are inedible. Supermarkets will give you a refund when you take them back. If you turn the box upside down on the… Read more

supermarket shelf and feel the weight transfer from top to bottom, then the box will only be half full of peanut sized crumbs - a good way to avoid. I am starting to think that Australian Kelloggs cornflakes have become a bit of a scam over the last 18 months. I have just returned from a trip to North America and the Kelloggs cornflakes sold in the market are far superior and look exactly like the picture on the box. At the very least, Kelloggs should be required to change the picture on the box to reflect the actual product inside the box or include prominent a warning that contents may be totally different from that depicted on the packaging. This is misleading advertising, something that other company’s don’t get away with like the Kelloggs brand

I grew up with these and after many years decided to retry them. They were terrible and so disappointing. These flakes use to be large and firm. Their competitors had the leftovers that were small and flaky. Now Kelloggs have dropped the ball and produce a product where the only semblance to corn flakes is the box. What rubbish product. It’s now only suitable for crushing and be used as a coating. Very poor Kellogg.

Kellogs Cornflakes are on a par with budget / value brands – Not bought Kellogs C flakes in a long time, so was shocked to open this box and find the contents are awful. What on earth has happened here? They taste wrong, the texture is yukky and the overall experience was bad. I thought it was just our taste buds fooling us but found this page and it would seem Kellogs are corner cutting at the expense of… Read more

the consumer. Thats ok, there are plenty of others to choose from. Fed this box of C flakes to the birds, luckily no-one from the RSPCB has been round. Kellogs.....Your cost cutting efforts have probably caused you more in lost revenue from customers who wont be back. You are offering budget flakes at premium rates

Kelloggs Cornflakes disaster! – Stupid is; someone who keeps doing the same thing but expects a different outcome! I keep buying Kelloggs Cornflakes expecting them to be like they used to be, but they are now hard, chewy and tasteless. I’ve finally learnt. I won’t be wasting money on these horribly changed versions of a great breakfast cereal. Show details

In loving memory of Corn Flakes – Yippee!! I am not alone. I rang Kelloggs recently and they blamed the corn!! I sent images of the packaging and the contents. I feel that Kelloggs will not fix this. I want a refund! Are Kelloggs buying these so called Corn Flakes from elsewhere and selling them as their own product ? Show details

CORNFLAKES - Generic Cereal – Cornflakes were Small in size Not crunchy and Lacking taste. Felt I’d bought a generic brand by mistake BUT NO the Big Kellogg’s box was proof that these WERE Kellogg’s Cornflakes, & that they just tasted Disgusting! Show details

They are back at being the best – I decided to give this product another chance and I was pleasantly surprised. The flakes are back to being fresh and crunchy once again.

Perfect breakfast – I love it! Nights when I am hungry I will have a bowl of the Kelloggs instead of ice cream or sweets. I get my fiber and sweet taste without putting on so many calories.Crunchy and delicious especially the taste brings childhood memories. It is best with cold milk but I sometimes add a little bit of sweetened condensed milk to give it that creamy… Read more

sweetness. I love its texture and great for breakfasts. Just don't dip it to long in milk as it becomes soggy after a while if you want to keep it crunchy like my taste.

Brilliant – Love the corny flakiness of these. They can be enjoyed any time of day but they are especially good for recovering energy after a all day wankathon. All in all good product. Show details

Changed ingredients for more profit – They have changed the recipe and added or substituted an ingredient with some kind of cheap ingredient (let's face it, it can only be for cutting costs/profit). It makes the "crunch" feel artificial (hard to explain). I've experienced the same crunch/texture in similar, cheaper products, so it would seem that Kellogs have followed suit and are… Read more

sacrificing quality for profit (but keeping their higher prices the same!). I won't be buying Kellogs anymore.

Kellogg's very disappointing – Kellogg's cornflakes are very hard to chew, I can't remember how many packs I had to throw away since 2019, what a waste of money! Please find a solution please. Show details

Very confusing – Bought a large box of your cornflakes, and when I opened the box to put in my container I found the volume of the flakes to only be half the volume of the box .What is going on Kellogg's. Show details

Bring back the real Kellogg's Corn Flakes – Dear Mr Kellogg, Bring back the real Kellogg's Corn Flakes. For over 50 years Corn Flakes have been in my cupboard, now they're in the rubbish bin. Did you place your chief bean counter and propeller head in charge of taste and production?. Sure tastes that way, because nothing in the box resembles Corn Flakes anymore. Show details

What has happened to Cornflakes – Just the other day I fancied some Kellogs cornflakes, it had been awhile since I last had some - now they are just awful and tasteless and very unpleasant to eat. I gave the review one star they don’t even deserve that. Show details

Texture change – I start out ok with my Corn Flakes but towards the end, the part I used to enjoy the most, when they were soggy but yummy, now has a weird cardboard like consistency almost chewy, very hard to describe, but certainly not tasty. Did not realize so many people were complaining of this as well. Show details

Kellogs Cornflakes – I bought a big box of Kellogs Cornflakes at highland superspar in mpumalanga witbank and the taste is horrible. So unpleasant in the mouth. It is very lumpy and the corns are dry even when soaked in the milk. You can't enjoy it without having to chew on the corn as if it didn't pop properly. I am honestly disappointed that after craving the… Read more

original Kellogs Cornflakes I did t get what I expected . To top it all off they dont have a suggestion or complains number on their box, clearly you are selling this product to your selves and not to the public. Kindly look into this.

Go back to original style cornflakes – Just opened another box of Kellogg’s cornflakes. What has happened to the taste and crispness of the so called flakes. They are small as if being broken up, they are tasteless. Instead of being crunchie they go into an almost solid mass and have to be chewed until able to swallow. Will try another supermarket brand in future. Please , Kellogg’s read your reviews and act upon them Show details

Better corn flakes out there – Kellogg corn flakes are akin to eating small shards of chipboard. We then bought Coles Home brand Corn Flakes, excellent. How a corn flake should be. Large size golden brown. Lift your game kelloggs. Show details

What's happened to the Kellogg's Corn Flakes? – What's happened? Now corn flakes are hard, small and lacking in taste, they were previously large and crisp and perfect taste. After eating them for 65 years I can't believe this product has got it so wrong. Looks like you have lost a customer. I believe this is not a manufacturing fault but a change in the product. Show details

So sad – It's so sad that after eating my favourite 'cornies' for as long as I can remember (l'm 67) I find I have to look for a replacement. Along with every other person who loved this product I find the taste diluted and the appearance of being pre-crushed. So sad.

DISGUSTING – I can’t believe it. This product is so bad now. Very disappointed. Small, crushed, tasteless. No longer edible. Besides Kellogg’s have changed the product in the box but, obviously not happy enough to change the picture on the box????? Currently false advertising …… let’s hope it’s because you are changing the product back again??????? Show details

bad change in manufacturing – I have been eating Kellogg's cornflakes for 75 years, and loved them, until about February this year, 2023 In the past few months the quality has deteriorated dramatically; the cornflakes now are thinner and rapidly go soggy in coldmilk. Amazing that such a brand name company does not understand the role of texture and crispness in the customer… Read more

experience. Huge mistake. Similar to the one they made when introducing the product into humid tropical markets. Thy did not recognize that the waxed paper bag does not present a barrier to entry of moisture over an extended supply chain, so the cornflakes lost their crispness. Meanwhile Nestle was using a metal foil bag and were highly successful in penetrating these markets. I for one, is now buying other brands. Ex 75-year loyal customer.

Not happy Kellogg’s – Cornflakes have always been a weekly purchase, and I remember them as a little girl in the 60’s…my children grew up with them too. Not anymore. They are small, curly and have to throw many crumbly bits out. The taste has changed too. Kellogg’s, remember when you are on a good thing, stick to it.
