About this product

Post Fruity Pebbles 36 oz is the Super Value resealable bag of Fruity Pebbles, the fruit-flavoured sweetened crisp rice cereal Post has sold in the United States since 1971.[2] Post's own product page lists the 36 oz Bag among the cereal's current sizes and prints 140 calories, 190 mg of sodium and 12 g of added sugars per 1 cup (36 g) serving.[1] The front is marked gluten free and the cereal is packed in a resealable Zip-Pak bag reading NET WT 36 OZ (2 LB 4 OZ) 1.02 kg.[3] USDA's Branded Foods record for this barcode names Post Consumer Brands, LLC as brand owner and lists rice, sugar and canola oil as the first ingredients.[4]

The photographed bag carries an older label whose front callout is headed "per 3/4 cup serving", while Post's current product page and the 2020 USDA record both declare a 1 cup (36 g) serving; the current maker list reads "Canola and/or Soybean Oil" and no longer names the Blue 2 and BHA that the 2020 record still carries.[1][4] An earlier recipe typed on Open Food Facts used hydrogenated coconut and palm kernel oils in place of the vegetable oil.[5] The cereal reached shops on the US West Coast in 1969 as Pebbles and took the Fruity Pebbles name at national launch in 1971.[2]

Coverage & research gaps (15)

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Context: 4 / 5 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 4 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • Post current Fruity PEBBLES product page: nutrient evidence: 16 / 16 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • ingredients · unknown: The 36 oz bag's ingredient panel is not photographed; the normalized ingredients are read from the USDA Branded Foods record for this barcode
  • ingredients · disputed: Post's current product page reads "Canola and/or Soybean Oil" and omits the Blue 2 and BHA that the 2020 USDA record lists; its captured text does not repeat the vitamins-and-minerals section
  • nutrition · unknown: The photographed bag shows only a front callout headed "PER 3/4 CUP SERVING"; the full Nutrition Facts panel is not photographed, so the panel here is transcribed from Post's current product page, per 1 cup (36 g)
  • markets · not_researched: Amazon US (amazon.com): searches for "Post Fruity Pebbles 36 oz bag", the brand, and the barcode 884912297990 on 2026-09-25 returned 32 oz and 40 oz bags but no listing for this 36 oz article, so no Amazon.com row is cited
  • markets · unknown: A ShopRite (US) cold-cereal page indexes UPC 884912297990 but answered with a timeout on 2026-09-25, so its price was not read
