I have tried 4 times now to submit this complaint. Twice through your product concern and twice through the general enquiries line. I feel like you do not actually care for feedback or concerns at all.
I purchased this pack through Woolworths Oran Park, NSW.
I've had 2 bowls from this cereal and by my second bowl I had to physically dig through the box to get fruit out. There is now no fruit left in the package at all. This is an "every now and then" treat for myself, as your cereal is ver...
Read morey expensive and I have a very tight budget, so you can imagine my disappointment. $6.50 for a 380g pack of flakes. Utter rip off really. Also what the hell happened to the pack with the pomegranate in it? That was amazing but it's gone now, why?Purchased in at Woolworths Physical store for $6.50.

Strange objects in my food
Was eating special K and almost broke my tooth on what seems like shells on a me type of nut or Kerbal. I understand if there was a small piece but there was multiple pieces like this one that I later found. So disappointed as this is one of my favourite brands, but I will have to avoid this in the future.

I was very disappointed today in purchasing a box of Special K. I could barely get through a bowl due to the tiny glass like particles and the flakes so bland! So disappointed, will be throwing out this box and never purchase again unless they change it.
Purchased in for $3.99.

Disappointed
I have been having Special K for breakfast every morning for years. Lately, however, the contents of the box are not so much flakes as crumbs. Not sure if it's the quality control or a change in processing. Occasionally I get a box (and I only buy the small size as I like to try and keep it fresh) where I don't have to throw out about 100g. Very disappointed for a very loyal customer.

Ridiculously hard
I regularly eat special k and I recently bought a new packet tried it and could t believe how hard and tasteless it was I had to check the packet to see if I had the right brand
What have you done to this product?
I almost broke my teeth on it and no amount of milk would soften it
I likened the texture and taste to eating uncooked rice or pasta. There is no excuse for this poor quality I would like to know how many others had this same bad experience and cracked their teeth eating it

Very bland
To be honest these cereals are not very good, they are very bland.

Crunchy and tasty and healthy
I just love this cereal and can't believe it is healthy yet so tasty and crunchy. I sometimes use it as a cereal base and then add muesli or other cereals. It is low in fat and sugar yet high in fibre. It's crunchy but I love it when you leave it in milk for a while and then it goes sort of chewy and delicious. It's a bit pricey but if you buy it on special it's very good value. It also goes well with yogurt or a crunchy topping for ice cream. it's nice to know that something so tasty is actually not bad for you intact quite the opposite.
I think it is better than all the other Special K cereal varieties which all seem to have extra sugar added and are too sweet.
Purchased in at Coles Supermarkets for $5.

Rather have oatmeal
I don’t understand all the hype with this cereal and why anyone would eat this to lose weight. Hardly any nutritional content and is sugary. Sure it has fibre, but that doesn’t justify its health benefits. Bland, not much nutritional value and leaves nothing to the imagination. Overly dry, processed and low in protein. How can anyone feel empowered and manly with low protein?
Just like Clive Palmer and Fraser Annning shouldn’t be considered an Australian icon, this cereal shouldn’t be considered a model Australian breakfast.
Your better of sticking to oatmeal’s and almonds with coconut coconut and goji berries.

What did Kellogg’s do to your Special K?
I’m from US in Australia for 2 weeks. Wanted some simple comfort food in my hotel room. Picked up Special K “original”. Wow. So very bad. US version is lighter and crisper with better mouth feel and taste. Cloying after taste and cardboardy mouth feel. I believe US version is rice and wheat only—no oats. Mostly rice with wheat gluten added, less sugar, more salt. This stuff is like Wheaties mixed into Special K that was left in back of pantry for 10 years. Kellogg’s nailed the taste of depression.

Gave Kellogg's a chance, but didn't live up to expectations
Sorry Kelloggs, I gave you a chance, but you didn't live up to expectations. After previously writing on these pages about the sad demise of my favourite cereal, 'sanitarium light n tasty', I went on an extensive taste search. I eventually settled on Kellogg's Special K Nourish, Cashew & Macadamia & Coconut. As I failed to find a suitably comparable cereal to my previous love, this one passed the test with a low sugar count of 13.8g and seemed to be the one I kept going back to (for lack of any other better options). A few months in and somet...
Read morehing drastic happened. Where did the nuts and seeds go? Despite the ingredient list including cashews, macadamias, pepitas, linseeds, coconut, I was suddenly opening boxes which seemed to contain only flakes and bran sticks, with one or two pepitas at the bottom of the packet. I have resorted to adding my own nuts and seeds. Thinking I will now try Uncle Toby's.Mushy!!!!
Long time Special K customer. Re-thinking that status. The flakes are now thinner and turn to "mush" after milk has been added. no longer crunchy and thick. VERY disappointed

Crunchy and delicious
Crunchy and delicious especially the cranberry and almonds Special K. It is best with cold milk but I sometimes add a little bit of sweetened condensed milk to give it that creamy 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.
kellogg's Nourish with Apples, Raspberries & Almonds.
I bought the NEW! "Special K nourish" and really question the necessity to have flakes that turn into rubber within 4 minutes of applying milk. All of the items in the list were chopped up so finely, it made it impossible to distinguish one item from the next and just turned into slop in my mouth. I wonder if the ingredients are just leftovers from some other process and tossed in as an afterthought. Flakes were not flaky but had an unappealing texture before I was even half way through my bowl. Not very nice.

Gluten free Special K is very tasty
I am trying the new gluten free Special K today. Yum!! Great, authentic flavour and texture. Definitely one of the better gluten free cereals, and it has the Special K taste I have missed for the past few years.
