Bowl & Basket Bran Flakes

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Bowl & Basket Bran Flakes scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Bowl & Basket Bran Flakes lists 16 ingredients, starting with Whole Grain Wheat, Wheat Bran, Corn Syrup, Malted Barley Syrup and Reduced Iron. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Bowl & Basket Bran Flakes scores worse than most cereal we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Kavanagh's Organic Jumbo Porridge Oats at 100/100.
