Kellogg's Coco Pops Croc Footprints feedback
03/05/2013 17:07
I have purchased Kellogg’s cereals for my family before signing up for the trial. We have purchased Coco Pops, Rice Krispies, Cornflakes and Krave. I am aware that Kellogg’s make quality breakfast cereals and that they don’t make cereal for anyone else.
High fibre cereals are important to me but it is also important that the children enjoy the taste of the cereal. To me healthy means that the cereal is low in salt, fat and sugar and high in fibre where possible. I am aware of the importance of grain based foods, they have been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. I find it helpful that Kellogg’s fortifies its cereals with important vitamins and minerals, as I feel this will help keep them going for the day. I am happy that new Coco Pops Croc Prints is low in fat and saturated fat.
Jessica (8), Evan (7) and Michael (5) tried the Coco Pops Croc Prints. They liked the fact that they were crocodile feet and that they were “spikey”. They all loved them. They said they loved the taste and that they were like chocolate. It is good that I can give them a cereal that is good for them and I don’t have to force feed it to them.

Received my delivery yesterday and succeeded in hiding them away until breakfast this morning. Breakfast varies a lot in this house as there are 6 people to please so there is always at least 1 packet of Kellogg's in the press, normally Cornflakes and I have to admit I am one that will buy any cereal that's on offer. These include Special K, Coco Pops, Rice Krispies and All Bran.
Cereal is one product that I don't buy shop own brands because I find the product is not usually eaten and is of poorer quality.
It is important to me that everybody in the house eats a good breakfast so I tend to go for breakfasts with high fibre but I am beginning to look more for products with LOW SUGAR. I think it’s a great start in the morning that the Coco Prints are fortified with vitamins and minerals. The fat content is good but then again fat isn't one of the main worries I would have when buying cereal.
My 2 boys tried the Coco prints aged 4yrs and 6 yrs, they were so excited when I handed them there bowls and I was surprised they knew exactly what they were as we never had them before. They loved them and ordered a second bowl each. They loved the shapes and made a path on the counter with some telling a story of the crock on an adventure. I think Kellogg's is associated with breakfast big time. Will I be buying Coco prints again? Maybe as a treat I am sorry to say and the reason is the high sugar content can’t believe 76g of a 100g serving is sugar, Sorry Kellogg’s i am so disappointed in this product for this reason alone, please lose at least half the sugar, if we have to add it ourselves at the table it is better parents know what sugar their kids are taking....

Thanks for your feedback on Coco Pops Croc Prints.We are always keen to hear what Mums think of our new cereals for children and we are sorry that you were disappointed in the product. We would, however, like to point out that the value for sugar that you have quoted is in fact the value for the total carbohydrate content of the food, which is 76g per 100g. The sugar content is in fact much lower than this at 26g per 100g. We hope you will give Coco Pops Croc Prints another try some time.

I must say that I was disappointed with the new Coco Pops Croc Prints cereal. The children were interested in the novelty shape and packaging, but my husband and I found the taste unappealing: the texture was almost cardboard-like, the flavour was far inferior to Coco Pops, and there was an unpleasant iron-like aftertaste. You also don't get the pleasant "chocolate milk" effect that Coco Pops offers, which was always a big attraction for me as a child.
I can see from comparing the nutritional content that Croc Prints are lower in sugar but they appear to be higher in saturated fat, which is something I want to minimise in breakfast cereal, and given that I would only offer them as a weekend "treat" cereal, I think the taste would have to be improved to allow them to compete with the likes of Coco Pops and other sweet cereals.
The children did eat them but if I wanted to offer a treat I would still be more inclined to buy Coco Pops or investigate a different brand if I needed a lower-sugar offering - for example, Nestle Nesquick and Weetabix Weetos seem to be lower in sugar than either Coco Pops regular or Croc Prints.
I do feel that, in some ways, Kellogg’s is synonymous with breakfast, but own-brand cereals are not only cheaper but are also competing in some cases nutritionally e.g. I have compared all of the nutritional content on some comparable Tesco own-brand cereals with the Kellogg’s equivalent and have found Tesco can be equal nutritionally but lower in sugar!
Kelloggs do tend to taste better but if Tesco cost half the price for the same nutritional content, many people will switch.

Thanks for your comments about Coco Pops Original and Coco Pops Croc Prints. We are pleased to hear that Coco Pops Original is a popular choice in your household. As you’ve pointed out, the lower level of sugar in Coco Pops Croc Prints produces a different type and degree of sweetness when compared with Coco Pops Original. However, in contrast to the sugar level, the fat and saturated fat levels of these products are exactly the same. The fat level is 2.5g per 100g, making this a low fat food, and the saturated fat level is 1g per 100g, making this a low saturated fat food. Per 30g bowl, this translates to 1% of the Guideline Daily Amount for fat and 2% for the Guideline Daily Amount for saturated fat. Both foods are also a good source of 6 B vitamins and iron, as well as calcium and vitamin D which are necessary to keep bones strong. We hope you will give Coco Pops Croc Prints another try some time.
