They should have made their toucan duller too. Make it a Bronze Headed Cowbird.

The Canadian version has ingredients similar to some other brands of cereal sold in the U.S. Not all cereals sold here have artificial colors.

Looks like the American version is healthier. It leads with Corn Flour blend, the Canadian version with Sugar.

They put Zinc oxide in the Canadian version.

From Wiki:
Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula ZnO. It is a white powder which is insoluble in water. ZnO is used as an additive in numerous materials and products including cosmetics, food supplements, rubbers, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants,[12] paints, sunscreens, ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, ferrites, fire retardants, semi conductors,[13] and first-aid tapes. Although it occurs naturally as the mineral zincite, most zinc oxide is produced synthetically.[14]

I found many things to disgust when I started checking labels carefully. For example, my calcium supplements also contain zinc oxide - for color!

If I’m not mistaken the labeling law requires that the ingredients be listed from most to least. If that is still the case, the US version has its major ingredient corn flour while the canadian version has sugar as the major ingredient.

Whenever I see a list of ingredients that long I tend to put the package back on the shelf.

It's been decades since I ate any kind of cereal, too much sugar and also full of ingredients.
