Kellogg’s shrinks size of Corn Flakes

Kellogg’s appears to have shrunk its packets of Corn Flakes. 

Two of its four different pack sizes have reduced in weight by 50g, according to The Sun. 

What used to be 720g boxes are now 670g, while 500g boxes have become 450g. 

The newspaper says the 670g boxes are being sold for £3.20 in Tesco – the same price customers were paying for the larger box back in May. 

The 450g boxes are being sold for £2.19, only slightly less than the previous price of £2.25.

Other supermarkets have similar pricing, although in Morrisons the price has gone down in proportion to the size reduction.

The 250g and 1kg pack sizes remain unchanged. 

Kellogg’s has said it is up to shops to choose what they charge, but Tesco said the manufacturer should comment on pricing. 

Sky News has contacted Kellogg’s for comment.

A spokesperson is quoted by The Sun: “Kellogg’s Corn Flakes are available in four different box sizes to suit different shopper preferences and needs. 

“As the cost of ingredients and production processes increase, it costs us more to make our products than it used to.

“This can impact the recommended retail price. It’s the grocer’s absolute discretion and decision what price to charge shoppers.”
