Spooned & Spotted (Mexico): Kellogg’s Panaderia Cereals

Kellogg's of Mexico: Panaderia Cereals

Oh no, y’all: cereal is dead!

…that’s right, dead serious about celebrating Día de Muertos!

Kellogg’s of Mexico is making headlines for a new trio of Panaderia (Bakery) cereals releasing in Mexico early this autumn—and not all the buzz is the good, sugary kind, either. With Twitter users and media outlets alike questioning whether this should be considered cultural appropriation on Kellogg’s part, these Churros, Rollos de Canela and Pan de Muerto cereals have already been spotted by some shoppers and reviewed by others.

Though they may sound extremely similar, Kellogg’s Panaderia Churros Cereal appears to be flavored with cinnamon and brown sugar, while Rollos de Canela uses cinnamon and vanilla. However, more unique than either is Pan de Muerto Cereal. Based on the popular sweet bread made for Day of the Dead celebrations, this cereal version boasts not only vanilla, but butter and orange blossoms as ingredients, too. Since the last orange-vanilla cereal we saw in America was named my favorite release of that year, Pan de Muerto Cereal might just be worth the cost of importing it.

Have you tried any of these three yet? Let us know in the comments below!

  1. Hi!

    I tried these ones and the taste is not the best.
    I was expecting more of them, since I love cinnamon rolls.

    They are flavorless and the cereal doesn’t absorb the milk.
