Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 8 ingredients to avoid

General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal scores 5/100 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. Per serving it carries 2g fiber, 2g protein and 12g sugar. 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.

General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal lists 25 ingredients, starting with Whole Grain Wheat, Sugar and/Or Golden Sugar, Rice Flour, High Monounsaturated Canola and Canola and/Or High Monounsaturated Sunflower Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

170 kcal per serving, or 415 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal scores worse than most cereal we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Lovebird Grain Free Honey Breakfast Cereal at 100/100.
