Breakfast fans who prefer a particular brand

What should you look for when choosing?

First, work out how much cornflakes you’ll need for weekend breakfasts. Then check the exact variety, the label and how you want to buy the pack.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
A suitable amount in stock Check the net weight in g and think about how much your household will use before the quality starts to deteriorate. If I’m preparing several breakfasts, I want to stock up without being left with an unopened pack. Around 42% of consumers prioritise having the right amount in stock for the weekend.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients and allergen information; compare sugars, salt and fibre per 100 g if they matter to your choice. If I have an allergy, I want to know what’s in the cornflakes first, whatever the brand. For around 33% of consumers, checking ingredients and allergens is the main priority.
Variety and availability Check the exact product variety and whether collection or delivery is available to you. If you want to pick up or order a familiar variety for the weekend, you’ll want to be able to get it in time. Around 25% of consumers prioritise their preferred brand and availability.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a breakfast bundle for a multipack of cornflakes

    A breakfast bundle may contain different products or recipes. The total weight won’t tell you how much of your preferred variety of cornflakes you’ll get.

    Before choosing a bundle for several weekend breakfasts, check which products it contains and how many grams of each.

  • Skipping the label because you know the brand

    The brand name doesn’t tell you which ingredients and allergens are listed on the current packaging. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens must be clearly stated on the label.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information every time you buy, especially if the packaging or product variety has changed.

  • Assuming a product will be available to buy online

    A product listing doesn’t mean that the pack you want can be delivered or collected when you place your order.

    Check current stock and delivery or collection options before counting on that pack for the weekend.

Frequently asked questions

Should I still check the allergens if I’m buying a well-known brand of cornflakes?

Yes. If you have an allergy, always read the current ingredients and allergen information on the specific pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens must be clearly stated on the label, so don’t rely on the brand name alone.

Does the fibre information tell me enough about the nutritional value of cornflakes?

No. Fibre information doesn’t give you the full nutritional picture. Check the ingredients too, and compare fibre, sugars and salt per 100 g on the current packaging if you wish.

Can I count on Kellogg's Corn Flakes being available online for my weekend breakfast?

Check availability just before you order. A product page alone doesn’t confirm that Kellogg's Corn Flakes 375 g is in stock at that time or can be delivered to your location.
