All-Bran is a high-bran, high-fiber, wheat bran breakfast cereal manufactured by Kellogg's and marketed as an aid to digestive health.

History

Kellogg's All Bran newspaper ad from 1922

The introduction of All-Bran in 1916 came on the heels of the success of Kellogg's Bran Flakes a year earlier.[1] It was sold in a red and green box, similar to most Kellogg's cereals at the time. After finding great success in the U.S. market, Kellogg's began distribution in the United Kingdom and other markets in 1922.

Ingredients

The current ingredients of All-Bran Original are wheat bran, sugar, malt flavor, and salt, in addition to fortified vitamins and minerals. Some countries allow the addition of chemical vitamins. It contains 33% fiber,[2] 78% of natural wheat bran's 43%.[3]

All-Bran Buds is similar with added psyllium, its 39% fiber analysis is close to that of natural wheat bran.

Despite the name, the principal ingredient in All-Bran Flakes is whole grain wheat, not bran. It contains only 15% fiber, equivalent to 34% wheat bran.

All-Bran received five stars out of five on the Australian Government's health star ratings.[4]
