An Open Letter to Uncle Toby's, Woolworths, Coles and IGA Regarding Uncle Toby’s Vanilla Cheerios
Dear Uncle Toby's, Woolworths, Coles and IGA,
We are writing to share our concerns about the recent loss of Uncle Toby’s Vanilla Cheerios (also known as Low Sugar Cheerios) from Australian stores, and to ask you to consider restoring them to the cereal aisle.
I am Dr Kyla Smith, Paediatric Dietitian, and I represent thousands of Australian parents who are devastated to lose this cereal. I have spoken to so many parents who buy this cereal every week to serve at breakfast and as a snack, and who panic-bought remaining stock once they were alerted to the discontinuation.
There is also significant support for this cereal from paediatric nutrition experts across the country. You will find these names at the bottom of this letter.
We understand that space in the cereal aisle is highly competitive, but Vanilla Cheerios are unlike any others.
I’d love to speak more to you about this.
Kindest,
Dr Kyla Smith, APD, AN
