Jordans' breakfast cereals

Jordans cereals are new to Canada, and their products are made with 100% whole grains. They are available at major grocery retailers and independent stores nationwide; you may find them in the cereal aisle, or the organic or health food section.

Jordans' cereals don't always meet our criteria for best bets when it comes to fat and fibre, but they do taste great and there's something else that makes Jordans' products stand out. The grains are grown on Conservation Grade farms in a way that respects nature and the environment. Jordans focuses on organic ingredients, and the company is a proud supporter of the World Wildlife Fund.
