Coco Pops

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Kellogg's Coco Pops scores 27/100 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 Coco Pops lists 16 ingredients, starting with Rice, Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder, Cocoa Mass, Barley Malt Extract and Niacin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 27/100 Kellogg's Coco Pops scores worse than most cereal we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Kavanagh's Organic Jumbo Porridge Oats at 100/100.
