Apple Jacks Original Cold Breakfast Cereal

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 12 ingredients to avoid

Kellogg's Apple Jacks Original Cold Breakfast 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 13g 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.

Kellogg's Apple Jacks Original Cold Breakfast Cereal lists 36 ingredients, starting with Corn Flour Blend, Whole Grain Yellow Corn Flour, Degerminated Yellow Corn Flour, Sugar and Wheat Flour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

150 kcal per serving, or 385 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Kellogg's Apple Jacks Original Cold Breakfast Cereal on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.
