About Nutri-Grain
Nutri-Grain is a soft-baked breakfast bar brand produced by Kellogg's and positioned as a convenient on-the-go breakfast option. It is sold at major US grocery chains, drug stores, and mass retailers. The bars feature a soft grain exterior with fruit filling in multiple flavors including strawberry, blueberry, and apple cinnamon.
Common concerns with Nutri-Grain products
Nutri-Grain bars contain TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone) as a preservative — banned from food in Japan and linked by EWG researchers to immune disruption. The fruit fillings are typically made with high-fructose corn syrup or sugar syrups rather than whole fruit. Some flavors contain Red 40 for color enhancement in the fruit filling. The bars are marketed as a nutritious breakfast option despite containing multiple processed additives.
