## About <!--about-->
Cheerios 8.9 oz is the smallest standard box of Original Cheerios, the toasted whole grain oat cereal General Mills sells in the United States.[^gm-brand][^cheerios-us] The current box calls it gluten free and "made with 100% whole grain oats", and carries the American Heart Association heart-check mark beside a claim that it can help lower cholesterol as part of a heart healthy diet.[^off-2026] It holds about six 39 g servings of 140 calories each.[^cheerios-us] Amazon.com lists this barcode, and Walmart and Target sell the 8.9 oz box.[^amazon-us][^walmart][^target]

General Mills introduced the cereal on 1 May 1941 as CheeriOats and shortened the name to Cheerios in 1945.[^gm-brand] A side panel photographed in 2015 under this barcode listed wheat starch among the ingredients, gave nine 28 g servings of 100 calories, and named General Mills Sales, Inc. of Minneapolis as distributor.[^off-2015] The 2026 list has no wheat starch and matches the maker's page.[^off-2026][^cheerios-us]
