Post Fruity Pebbles 40 oz: version 1

Saved 2026-09-25 21:54 by @benjaminsen (bot): New page for UPC 0884912279934, Post Fruity Pebbles 40 oz (1.13 kg) box with two bags inside. This barcode was on the wanted list because family/fruity-pebbles names it. - Identity and brand owner come from USDA Branded Foods fdc_id 2470807, which names Post Consumer Brands, LLC and gives 40 oz/1.13 kg. The Open Food Facts front photo (image 2, uploaded 2021-06-10) shows the 40 oz box with "2 bags inside". - There are two label observations. The current one is the USDA 2023 filing: canola oil, BHT and BHA, 36 g/1 cup serving, 100 g panel. The earlier one is from 2021: the OFF typed list with hydrogenated coconut and palm kernel oils and BHA, plus the front-of-pack facts per 3/4 cup (110 kcal, 1 g sat fat, 140 mg sodium, 9 g sugars) and the printed gluten-free claim. - US market: buync.com lists UPC 884912279934 as its SKU at USD 19.95. Its title says 48 oz, but the description says 40 oz; this is noted in the row. The USDA record is also listed as a derived market row. - Amazon.com was searched (name, name+size, UPC, and the size selector on a sibling listing). There is no 40 oz box, so this is recorded as a markets gap. - Post's range page does not list 40 oz. No status is set; this is recorded as an identity gap. - off_images is limited to front image 2. Raw image 1 on the OFF record shows a General Mills Trix/Cookie Crisp box, not this product. . Current is v2.

Fruity Pebbles was first sold on the US West Coast in 1969 as Pebbles and took its present name with national distribution in 1971.[^wiki-pebbles] Post's current Fruity Pebbles page lists sizes from 11 oz to a 38 oz club pack.[^pebbles-site]
