Bran Flakes

Breakdown

Processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Kellogg's Bran Flakes scores 38/100 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.

Kellogg's Bran Flakes lists 14 ingredients, starting with Whole Wheat, Wheat Bran, Whole Wheat Flour, Barley Malt Extract and Glucose Syrup. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 38/100 Kellogg's 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.
