Description
Post Fortified Oat flakes were a wholesome (and, I thought, delicious) oat cereal. Nothing fancy, no marshmallow bits, no sugar coating, no free toy inside, just a tasty treat. I was too young to care about the 'healthy' part.

Fortified Oat Flakes were by far the best cereal I have ever had. If they were so good and good for you too, why did they take them off the market? Then again, being that I am the only person that has posted a comment, perhaps I just answered my own question.

It's difficult to adequately describe how delicious Post Fortified Oat Flakes were, to those who never had the pleasure of tasting it, but I'll try to do so. First, it's important to note that it wasn't a sugared or frosted cereal. There was indeed a slight sweetness to it, yet it was a sweetness that enhanced rather than hid the taste of the oats. I suspect that there was perhaps a touch of malt in the recipe. If anyone has an old box, I would appreciate some photos and a listing of the ingredients. Second, the flakes were firm and light and, although it might be said that they didn't stay crunchy very long when in milk, the cereal maintained its great taste regardless. I personally have called Post to ask them why it is no longer on the market and received a rather nebulous answer from them that hinted at the probability of a business (lack of profit?) motive that I suppose all cereal manufacturers have to make from time to time. It's a shame that people like us, who regularly and loyally sought-out this brand for its quality, perhaps didn't represent a large enough market share for Post to keep this delightful product on the shelves! A note to Post: Fortified Oat Flakes are better than a mere walk through nostalgia for those of us who enjoyed it before and who would buy it again and again, were Post to bring it back. To those who made this same search, call Post and tell them you want it back!

For years I have been looking for Fortified Oat Flakes. It was definately the best cereal I have ever had. It would be awesome if Post would bring it back. Maybe we should start a petition !! Now I can't find Alpha Bits on the shelves anymore either - I do have a thing for Oat cereals and Post always had the best !!

I too miss them and found this by searching to see if they are still in production. Let's start a movement!

boy, we ate a lot of this stuff back in the late 60's - early 70's. I wouldn't mind having a bowl now, then maybe some space food sticks and some fizzies to drink !

Post has been purchased by Ralcorp pending approval by Government and both boards. Approval is expected this year. Now is the time to try and get this excellent product back. Kraft foods has run the Post division into the ground with very questionable product decisions. E-mail Ralcorp today!!!!

I thought I was the only one who remembered this cereal. Loved it! I will definitely e-mail Ralcorp-anything to get my all-time favorite cereal back!

I bought this cereal for years. It was such a good tasting cereal I continued to buy it even though it got soggy in milk very quickly. To solve this problem I used to eat them without the milk right out of the box.
Robert - March 31, 2008 - Report this comment
I too loved that cereal. They were good right from the box; they were good in milk. They were good crunchy or soggy. Please bring them back!

I also found this link while looking to find fortified oat flakes. I was hoping that maybe they still made them and just sold them in other parts of the country. I loved this cereal

I ALSO LOVED FORTIFIED OAT FLAKES.. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS DELICIOUS CEREAL AGAIN, ALSO. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE CEREALS GETTING SOGGY..*SOME OF THE OTHER BRAND NAME CEREALS - GETS SOGGY BEFORE YOU GET HALF WAY THROUGH A SMALL BOWL WITH A BLAH TASTE AND IS LESS FILLING - AND IT HAS BEEN ON THE CEREAL SHELVES FOR 100 YEARS? WHAT IS UP WITH THAT. PLEASE BRING BACK THIS DELICIOUS FORTIFIED CEREAL - WHICH IS PROBABLY LOWER IN CARBS THAN MOST - HAS SOME FIBER - ALL OF WHICH LOW CARB DIETERS, DIABETICS, ETC. ARE LOOKING FOR IN THE HERE AND NOW.. THANK YOU.

Being a cereal junkie for most of my life (I'm 50) I have to say this was absolutly the best of all of them. A truely unique and delicious flavor. Since it didn't have sugar added and was one of the more wholesome and healthy cereals out there I would think post could find a way to market it to parents looking for a good tasting healthy alternative to the sugar laden junk most of the kids crave. One bite and the kids would be hooked. (at least some of them).

I LOVED this cereal. Needless to say, my mom bought it just for her but every once in awhile we got to have some. There were 8 kids in our family and the box wasn't very big so I'm sure that's why it was hers only! I was hoping it was still around somewhere so I could still buy it. Please bring it back!!!
