Not Just Ireland

Beside the Irish shelves in my local supermarket there are no less than two others of produce surely intended to be sold in the US.
A few of these things I’ve read about, Hershey bars (chocolate,) Jello (jelly.* – At £1.50 a packet no less. One of the packets was chocolate flavoured; how do you get chocolate flavoured jelly? The picture on the packet showed the stuff was opaque. Weird.) Lifesavers(??) Hominy grits. The rest is more or less a mystery apart from what were obviously cereals.
I suppose this has turned up here because the supermarket concerned has just abandoned its attempts to make inroads into the US market.
Here are two close-ups. Click either side to enlarge.
What on Earth is this stuff?
(*What Usians call jelly we call jam, I think. See my post on Jelly Jungle.)
