I usually love Special K but the current box I have is literally hard to get through. There are pieces of really hard translucent thing which I can only imagine are actual grains of toasted rice. They are killing my teeth. I have like one bowl left in the box and I don't think I can even get myself to finish it.

I bought this cereal about a month ago and every bowl that I eat has very hard pieces embedded in the flakes. It is so bad that I end up discarding the cereal. I tried multiple bowls and even opened a different box to discover the same issue. Basically inedible unless you want an emergency dental visit.

I used to love special k but I have purchased several boxes now with pieces too hard to chew. I thought it may have been just one box or lot but I have now purchased several boxes over several months from different stores with the same result. I just can’t risk my teeth and won’t buy this cereal any more. It makes me sad to have to stop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This actually is a really good cereal for it not having all the sugar. More clean ingredient for a cereal found in the US is hard to come by at times. I big bowl is enough to fill me up for a long time. The packaging comes in the standard plastic bag in card board box packaging.

I love the taste of Special K but I agree with other reviewers. Every box I buy I find more and more hard bits that are impossible to chew and hurt my teeth if I happen to bite into one- which is multiple times every bowl. Typing this now because I genuinely think I might’ve cracked a tooth.

I, as SO MANY OTHERS, are leaving feedback about the hard bits in this cereal and risky to teeth, and your feedback is something like "this is unusual, please see your email so we can replace it as we are confident your next experience will be better". No it won't be! This has been a situation for years! I haven't bought Special K for a long time because of this and the also the flavor being so bland. I took a leap and bought some this week, and it's even worse than before.

The original has always been my favorite for as long as I can remember; I love eating it dry, in milk, with fruit, yogurt, on a smoothie bowl. It adds the perfect crunch to just about everything and is also healthy. Only thing that upsets me is that I can’t find the giant size in any store.

I’ve enjoyed Kellogg’s Special K as my breakfast cereal for many years. However, it has now become unpleasant - and unsafe - to eat, due to the hard, gritty pieces found in every packet. Kellogg’s: Please take note of the countless adverse reviews and do something about this product.

I guess I'm giving up on this product. Years ago it was my go to breakfast cereal but for me now half the box will be inedible because of the gravely hard particles that seem to be in every box. It seems to be rock hard unprocessed rice particles but I can't be sure but it always seems to be present now, straight from opening the box, and worse and worse as the box is consumed. These particles are hard enough to crack a tooth and I just threw away another third of a box because the particles are co concentrated in the lower part of the box it takes 100% of the enjoyment away from consumption.It didn;t use to be like this so why is it now? This seems to be a common complaint. It's really a shame.
