About this product

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.[2][3] 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.[4] It holds about six 39 g servings of 140 calories each.[3] Amazon.com lists this barcode, and Walmart and Target sell the 8.9 oz box.[5][6][7]

General Mills introduced the cereal on 1 May 1941 as CheeriOats and shortened the name to Cheerios in 1945.[2] 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.[1] The 2026 list has no wheat starch and matches the maker's page.[4][3]
