Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Does it feel like Cinnamon Toast Crunch tasted better when you were a kid, like when it was first introduced in 1984? Part of that is likely due to youthful nostalgia. But General Mills did change the recipe in 2012 to make the cereal slightly less unhealthy.
As the Consumerist noted in 2012, Cinnamon Toast Crunch increased the number of whole grains and decreased the sugar and salt content of the cereal. The old recipe included 220 mg of sodium per serving, while the new recipe has 180 mg of sodium per serving. The old recipe also had 10 grams of sugar per serving, while the new recipe has 9 grams of sugar per serving.
Don’t worry, Cinnamon Toast Crunch is still incredibly sugary and really unhealthy. Just slightly less unhealthy than it was in the 1980s.
