Which Breakfast Cereal Has The Most Iron

This is by no means a full list (there are millions of cereals out there!) but hopefully a help to give you an idea of the iron that is added to cereals. There may also be naturally occurring iron present in cereals manufacturers do not always monitor these amounts – those noted as unfortified/do not fortify have no Iron added, however there could be iron in them that has occurred naturally.

We had a very mixed response when we approached the makers of cereals, some explaining that they do not fortify any of their cereals, some willingly offering the information and others advising to check individual packets. The same with the companies websites, some packed full of information, others not so much!

If you have any information that we are missing here and would like to add to our list, please do let us know by emailing [email protected]

Please note: this is for guidance purposes only for UK cereals, for accurate iron (or other) quantities added to or within any cereal, please check the information on the pack. We do not endorse or recommend any specific cereal.

There is naturally occurring iron in some of their plant ingredients, such as oats, but the exact levels of iron depend on the specific cereal recipe. This does change over time, so we could only give readings as a guide – for up to date iron content, we would recommend individuals contact Jordans directly.
