Cereal Brands with Raisins
Kellogg’s Rasin Bran
Website: raisinbran.com
Kellogg’s Raisin Bran is the most popular cereal with raisins that is featured here. However, it wasn’t the first raisin bran cereal.
A company called U.S. Mills first released its “Skinner’s Raisin Bran” in 1926 and eventually trademarked the name “Raisin-BRAN”. Skinner had the raisin bran market to itself until 1942 when Kellogg’s and General Foods started selling their versions of raisin bran.
Of course, the trademark owner sued Kellogg’s and General Foods but the judge ruled that “Raisin-BRAN” was not trademarkable since it was a description of ingredients. Today, you can find multiple raisin bran cereals made by different brands because of this ruling.
Kellogg’s makes Raisin Bran along with Raisin Bran Crunch. View our article on Raisin Bran vs. Raisin Bran Crunch for additional details on these products.
Post Raisin Bran

Post is known for using Sun-maid raisins in its version of Raisin Bran. In fact, the manufacturer states that it contains hundreds of raisins in each box. In other words, most people won’t feel cheated by an abundance of flakes and minimal raisins.
