About this product

Post Fruity Pebbles 20.5 oz is the Family Size box of Fruity Pebbles, the fruit-flavoured sweetened crisp rice cereal that Post has sold nationally in the United States since 1971.[2] The box holds 20.5 oz (581 g), about 16 one-cup servings, and its panel prints 140 calories and 12 g of added sugars per 1 cup (36 g).[3] USDA's label record names Post Consumer Brands as brand owner and lists rice, sugar and canola oil as the first ingredients.[4] A photographed box carries the artwork of the Pebbles 50th-birthday campaign,[5] which Post ran in 2021.[6] Two Amazon US listings print barcode 884912002457.[1][7]

An earlier label typed on Open Food Facts gave a 3/4 cup (27 g) serving and hydrogenated coconut and palm kernel oils in place of canola oil.[8] Post's own product page lists a 19.5 oz box among its current sizes.[9]

Where it's sold

A listing is evidence that this barcode is sold there, on that date; a price is what that listing showed, not a recommended price. Store links may be affiliate links (how this works).

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Context: 3 / 4 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 3 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph

  • markets · unknown: Walmart US item 20648084 is titled "Post Fruity PEBBLES Breakfast Cereal … 20.5 Oz"; the page answered with a bot check on 2026-09-25, so its barcode and price were not read
