*One Crispix should be spilt. Recite Mezonos and eat the darker half (rice) first. Then recite Hoadama and eat the lighter half (corn).
**As indicated in Igros Moshe OC 4:45 one may recite either a Mezonos or a Hoadama. See article for explanation.

NOTE:
1.Check packaging for kosher symbols. Due to possible future changes in formulations, this list should only be used through 2012. Check with Star-K www.star-k.org for future updates. Also note, some cereals with Kosher certification were omitted from this list, as we were unable to obtain enough information to determine the correct Brocha.
2. We recommend reading the �Brochos for Breakfast� article for the following important information.
a) Understanding Hilchos Brachos and cereal production.
b) How much and how quickly one must eat to recite a bracha achrona. See Section IV
c) In which cases a borai nefashos is recited on �al hamichya� cereals. See Section IV � second paragraph
