'''All-Bran''' is a high-[[bran]], high-[[Dietary fiber|fibre]], wheat bran [[breakfast cereal]] manufactured by [[WK Kellogg Co]] for the North American market and [[Kellogg's|Kellanova]] for the rest of the world. It is marketed as an aid to [[Healthy digestion|digestive health]].

==History==
The introduction of All-Bran in 1916 came on the heels of the success of Kellogg's [[Bran Flakes]] a year earlier.<ref name = "Kellogg's: A Historical Overview">{{cite web|url=http://www.kellogghistory.com/history.html| title=Kellogg's: A Historical Overview}}</ref> It was sold in a red and green box, similar to most Kellogg's cereals at the time. After finding great success in the U.S. market, Kellogg's began distribution in the United Kingdom and other markets in 1922.

The recipe was reformulated in 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kellogg's changed the All-Bran recipe: shoppers outraged by the taste of the new product - all the latest news today – 112.ua |url=https://112.ua/en/kelloggs-has-changed-the-recipe-of-a-classic-breakfast-cereal-and-customers-are-furious-81710 |access-date=2025-10-01 |website=112.ua |language=en}}</ref>

==Advertising==

With the rising popularity of patent medicine in advertising, [[The Kellogg Company]] of Canada published a book named ''A New Way of Living'' that would show readers "how to achieve a new way of living; how to preserve vitality; how to maintain enthusiasm and energy; how to get the most out of life because of a physical ability to enjoy it." It touted the All-Bran cereal as the secret to leading "normal" lives free of constipation.<ref>Kellogg Company of Canada. 1932.

==Ingredients==

The current ingredients of All-Bran Original are [[wheat bran]], [[sugar]], corn and barley malt extract, [[salt]], and the following added vitamins and minerals: iron, thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B1), d-calcium pantothenate (vitamin B5), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), and folic acid.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://smartlabel.kelloggs.com/en_CA/Product/Index/00064100001466#ingredients |title=All Bran Original Cereal smart label |accessdate= 17 July 2020}}</ref>

It contains 33% fiber,<ref>product labels as distributed in Ontario Canada June 2015</ref> 78% of natural wheat bran's 43%.<ref>USDA Food Nutrient Database, wheat bran, raw</ref>  The second highest ingredient, after wheat bran, is sugar (18%).

All-Bran Buds is similar with added [[psyllium]]; its 39% fiber analysis is close to that of natural wheat bran.

Despite the name, the principal ingredient in All-Bran Flakes is whole grain wheat, not bran. It contains only 15% fiber, equivalent to 34% wheat bran.

All-Bran received five stars out of five on the Australian Government's health star ratings.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/business/retail/food-health-star-ratings-kelloggs-reveals-the-cereal-that-gets-15-stars-20150420-1mop9e.html|title=Food health star ratings: Kellogg's reveals the cereal that gets 1.5 stars|first=Esther|last=Han|newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=20 April 2015}}</ref>
