Household Ingredients Compared  ›  Other Breakfast Cereals (Singapore)

Other breakfast cereals: what's actually in it?

Everything on this shelf is a processed cereal — flakes, puffs, shells or biscuits — made from wheat, rice, corn or oats, and almost all of them are sweetened and vitamin-fortified. The differences that matter are in the list: how much of the pack is whole grain (Weet-Bix is 97% wholegrain wheat; Froot Loops is 79.6% cereal flour), where sugar sits (second in Froot Loops, Coco Pops, Koko Krunch and Milo; fourth in Special K Original), and whether the "chocolate" is cocoa powder in the cereal or a coating (Coco Pops: 5.5% cocoa powder; Koko Krunch: fat-reduced cocoa powder after sugar).

This page covers all other breakfast cereals sold in Singapore: wheat/rice/corn-based flakes and puffs, chocolate cereals, oat squares and wheat biscuits. It does not duplicate cornflakes (category 46), oats/instant oatmeal (category 48), muesli and granola (category 49), or energy/cereal bars (separate category). This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick.

Panelled with verbatim lists: 13 products — 2 from the Kellogg's Singapore site, 3 from FairPrice ingredient sections (Quaker Oatmeal Squares), and 8 flagged regional/brand-site listings (Kellogg's TH/PH, Nestlé MY, Sanitarium AU/NZ, Weetabix UK), which are not SG shelf claims. Seen-but-not-verified: see the list below.

Kellogg's — flagged regional sites (not Singapore packs)

Special K and Frosties are sold in Singapore, but no Singapore-site list was retrieved for them in this pass. The lists below are from Kellogg's Thailand and Philippines sites, which share the Southeast Asia formulation family — panelled here, flagged, so the regional source is never mistaken for an SG pack.

Kellogg's Special K Original (Kellogg's Thailand site)

Ingredients (Kellogg's Thailand site): Milled rice (51%), kibble wheat (18%), sugar, wheat, flour (11%), wheat bran (2%), wheat starch (1%), iodized salt, malt extract, vitamins and mineral (vitamin C, niacin, reduced iron, vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B1, vitamin B12, folic acid), antioxidant (mixed tocopherol).

Nestlé — flagged Malaysia site (school-pack page)

Koko Krunch, Milo and Honey Stars are sold in Singapore, including as a Nestlé Variety School Pack. No Nestlé Singapore-site list was retrieved for them in this pass; the lists below are from the Nestlé Cereals Malaysia school-pack page, which lists all three cereals together. They are panelled here, flagged — the SG pack lists still need a photo check, and the Koko Krunch standalone Malaysia page gives a slightly different wholegrain-wheat percentage (29.1% vs 34.0% on the school-pack page), so the two must not be mixed up.

Nestlé Koko Krunch Breakfast Cereal

Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (Nestlé Cereals Malaysia, school-pack page): Cereal Grains [Wholegrain Wheat (Gluten) (34.0%), Wheat Flour (Gluten) (32.0%), Corn Semolina], Sugar, Extract of Malt Barley and Starch (Gluten), Fat-Reduced Cocoa Powder, Minerals (Calcium Carbonate, Reduced Iron), Palm Oil, Iodized Salt (Sodium Chloride, Potassium Iodate), Stabilizer [Trisodium Phosphate INS339(iii)], Natural Flavouring, Antioxidant [Mixed Tocopherol Concentrate (Soya)], Vitamins (B3, B5, B6, B2, B9).

Chocolate wheat shells. The standalone Malaysia Koko Krunch page gives a different list (whole grain wheat 29.1%, wheat flour, corn semolina; sugar; fat-reduced cocoa powder; barley malt extract; palm oil with antioxidant ascorbyl palmitate E304; minerals; iodized salt; emulsifier soya lecithin E322; synthetic flavouring vanillin; tocopherols and vitamins) — the school-pack list above is the one panelled, and the variant difference is recorded in the research notes. MY site only Added sugar: sugar Allergen: gluten, soya

Same base as the other two squares, with cinnamon added after the malted barley extract — and, unlike the Original and Honey Nut, no colour listed. SG retailer list Added sugar: brown sugar + sugar No colour listed

Wheat biscuits — flagged AU/NZ and UK listings

Weet-Bix and Weetabix are sold in Singapore through supermarkets and import channels, but no Singapore pack list was retrieved for either in this pass. Their home-market lists are panelled here, flagged.

Weet-Bix Original (Australia / New Zealand listing)

Pack size: 1.2kg / 375g (two OFF entries, same list) · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts, Australia/New Zealand): Wholegrain wheat (97%), sugar, salt, barley malt extract, vitamins (niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, folate), mineral (iron)

Wholegrain wheat 97% — the highest wholegrain share on this page. Sugar is second, but at under 2% of the pack by the Open Food Facts estimate; the list is otherwise just salt, barley malt extract and fortification. Contains gluten. A gluten-free variant exists (wholegrain sorghum 96%, golden syrup, salt, vitamins) — its list is recorded in the research notes, not panelled here as an SG product. AU/NZ listing only Wholegrain wheat 97%

Weetabix Original (UK listing)

Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts, UK): Whole wheat (95%), malted barley extract, sugar, salt, niacin, iron, riboflavin (B2), thiamin (B1), folic acid.

Whole wheat 95% first, then malted barley extract, sugar and salt, with iron and B-vitamins. Contains gluten. Countries sold on the Open Food Facts entry include Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and the UK — Singapore is not listed on that entry, so the SG pack still needs a check. UK listing only Whole wheat 95%

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the table are as sold, per 100 g, unless a row says otherwise. Sugars here are total sugars as printed. No official Singapore Nutri-Grade (A–D) was found printed on any of these cereal listings in this pass, so none is quoted here; no grade has been assigned.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Where a source printed only energy and sugars, the other cells are "not stated" — they are not estimated or borrowed from another variant.

Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sugar, brown sugar, honey, glucose syrup) versus naturally occurring sugars.

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours.

Observed numbers, no verdict: the Open Food Facts entries retrieved give 27.4 g sugars per 100 g for Koko Krunch (330g entry) and 24.9 g sugars per 100 g for Milo (Singapore 500g entry). A separate Open Food Facts Koko Krunch entry gives 370 kcal and 27 g sugars per 100 g, and a Malaysia-retailer listing gives 377 kcal, protein 8.0 g, total fat 2.8 g, carbohydrate 76.0 g and sodium 150 mg per 100 g for a differently formulated Koko Krunch (wholegrain wheat 36.8%) — those figures are not tabled here, because they belong to a different formulation and would mislead if mixed with the panelled list. No per-100 g nutrition panel was verified in this pass for Froot Loops, Coco Pops, either Special K, Frosties, Honey Stars, any Quaker Oatmeal Squares flavour, Weet-Bix or Weetabix.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 g nutrition panel was verified in this pass for Kellogg's Froot Loops, Kellogg's Coco Pops, Kellogg's Special K Original, Kellogg's Special K Blueberry & Almond, Kellogg's Frosties, Nestlé Honey Stars, Quaker Oatmeal Squares — Original, Honey Nut and Cinnamon, Weet-Bix Original, Weetabix Original, Kellogg's Rice Krispies, and all products in seen-but-not-verified above. Their ingredient panels are unchanged; their nutrition figures are not estimated here.

How to read a breakfast cereal label — the jargon, in plain English

Kibble wheat / kibble
Wheat cracked into small pieces (Special K). It is a wheat ingredient, not a whole flake — and it still contains gluten.
Barley malt extract / malt extract
A sweet, malty liquid made from sprouted barley, used for flavour and colour in almost every cereal on this page. It contains gluten (barley) and adds sugars.
Fat-reduced cocoa powder
Cocoa powder with most of the cocoa butter removed — the chocolate flavour in Koko Krunch, Milo and Coco Pops. It is not the same as chocolate (which also contains sugar and fat).
Yellow 5 / Yellow 6 = tartrazine / Sunset Yellow
The same two colours under US names (Yellow 5, Yellow 6) in the Honey Nut squares and under EU names (tartrazine E102, Sunset Yellow E110) in the Original squares. If a cereal lists either pair, it is coloured, not just flavoured.
"Wholegrain wheat (97%)" vs "cereal flour (79.6%)"
The percentage is the share of the pack. Weet-Bix is 97% wholegrain wheat; Froot Loops is 79.6% cereal flour (corn, wheat, barley) — the rest is sugar, oil, colours and fortification. The first ingredient and its percentage tell you more than the front-of-pack wholegrain claim.
Healthier Choice (Nestlé)
A Singapore Health Promotion Board scheme, not a Nutri-Grade. Koko Krunch is described by Nestlé as Healthier Choice certified; that label is recorded here as a brand statement, not presented as a Nutri-Grade and not used to rank cereals.

Sources and method

Checked 5–6 November 2026 from: Kellogg's Singapore site (Froot Loops, Coco Pops); Kellogg's Thailand site (Special K Original, Special K Blueberry & Almond) and Philippines site (Frosties) — both flagged regional; Nestlé Cereals Malaysia school-pack page (Koko Krunch, Milo, Honey Stars) and standalone Koko Krunch page — both flagged MY; FairPrice ingredient sections (Quaker Oatmeal Squares — Original, Honey Nut, Cinnamon); Open Food Facts (Weet-Bix 1.2kg AU, Weetabix 430g UK, Koko Krunch 330g, Milo Singapore 500g — all secondary); Shopee SG listings (Nestlé Variety School Pack, Kellogg's cereal range — inventory only, no lists). Cold Storage publishes no ingredient list on any product page, so its cereal shelf could not be panelled from its site. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Nutrition section added 5–6 November 2026: figures are standardised to per 100 g where the source gives per-100 figures; per-serving-only figures are labelled as such and are not converted; sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars; salt = sodium × 2.5. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
