Nutri-Grain
Brand of breakfast foods
Nutri-Grain is a brand of breakfast cereal and breakfast bar made by Kellanova since 1976. In Australia and New Zealand Nutri-Grain is a breakfast cereal made from corn, oats, and wheat. The pieces are shaped like bricks.
In the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland, the Nutri-Grain name is used for soft breakfast bars.
History
The breakfast cereal in its original "block and hole" shape was introduced in Australia in 1976, and later in 1981 consisting of flakes without added sugar. There were four varieties initially (rye, corn, barley, and wheat); later these were reduced to corn and wheat, and finally the corn line was completely discontinued. There are various Nutri-Grain Bars made from the breakfast cereal bonded together, available in the markets where the cereal is available. The bars became popular in the 1990s as an "on-the-go" food.
In 2013, Nutri-Grain breakfast drinks were added to the line of cereals for the Australian market.
UK and Ireland products
In the UK, Nutri-Grain bars are around one-third cereals (mainly wheat-flour) and around ten percent fruit.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Nutri-Grain”, the useful work is to connect “brand of breakfast foods” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 10, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q7070474. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1976, 1981 and 2013.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
