Raisin Bran is manufactured by several companies under a variety of brand names including
General Mills'
Total (food) and Raisin Nut Bran; and
Kraft Foods'
Post Cereals.
Skinner's Raisin Bran was the first brand on the market, introduced in the United States in 1926 by
U.S. Mills, best known for the similar Uncle Sam Cereal. The name "Raisin Bran" was at one time trademarked, but widespread use of the term to refer to any Bran-and-
Raisin cereal caused it to become
genericized trademark, so that it can no longer be subject to trademark protections.
Today, the best known brand is
Kellogg's Raisin Bran, introduced in 1942. It is known for its
advertising slogan, "Two scoops of raisins in Kellogg's Raisin Bran" and its
mascot, an animated sun named "Sunny" introduced in 1966. Kellogg's now also markets a variety called Raisin Bran Crunch, which contains crunchy oat and honey clusters. Raisin bran is touted for its high dietary fiber content, but sometimes criticized for containing too much sugar; raisins naturally contain high levels of fructose- in addition, to prevent clumping many manufacturers sugar the raisins.
