What became of Kellogg's Start?

    Just wondering what has become of Kellogg's Start.
    It was my favourite cereal, although not regularly purchased or consumed, more of a reward, or treat every now and then.
    I have not seen it stocked in local supermarkets (Tesco / Super-value / Mace / Centra) for a few years now.
    I can only imagine that it has been withdrawn due to sugar content, as I'm sure it was a favourite of many.
    I am surprised it went with out protest or fanfare, if so.
    Can anybody enlighten me with facts or otherwise?

    Yep, Supervalu do it.
    I’d say they’ll scrap it as it’s very high in carbohydrates. They’re getting rid of Ricicles because of the U.K. sugar tax, and Start isn’t far off it.

    Thanks all.
    So its still available, just scarce!
    I'll broaden my shopping area and keep looking, before it does get the axe.

    People will be buying them up and flogging them on eBay now for 10 times the purchase price.

    Definitely check SuperValu - I have seen it in two places in South County Dublin. Had to resist the urge to buy it :o:o
