Finally, after a nationwide shortage forced fans to begrudgingly slurp bowls of lesser bran cereals, Grape-Nuts has reclaimed its rightful place on grocery store shelves.
The fibrous cereal is once again fully stocked nationwide, signaling the official end to the pandemic Grape-Nuts shortage, parent company Post Consumer Brands announced on Wednesday. And to repay Grape-Nuts fanatics for their brand loyalty, Post may reimburse them up to $115 if they overpaid to get their cereal fix during the shortage. Grape-Nuts will be back on shelves in March Grape-Nuts will be back on shelves in March Grape-Nuts, the cereal made of neither grapes nor nuts but wheat and barley, were nearly impossible to find in early 2021. Disappointed consumers had the pandemic to thank -- supply chain constraints and higher-than-usual demand for cereal halted production. In January, Post assured Grape-Nuts nuts the brand would return to shelves in early spring as production returned to pre-pandemic levels. But the wait was too long for some particularly fervent fans, some of whom turned to the secondary cereal market to get their Grape-Nuts fix, paying up to $110 per box, according to Post. The company is offering to reimburse anyone who paid $10 or more for a box of Grape-Nuts between November 1, 2020, and March 15. They can submit their receipt to Post to receive a partial refund of up to $115, "a way to show our appreciation and thank these fans for their dedication," Grape-Nuts brand manager Kristin DeRock said in a statement.
