Frosted Mini-Wheats Original

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats Original scores 16/100 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 6g fiber, 5g 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.

Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats Original lists 16 ingredients, starting with Whole Grain Wheat, Sugar, Brown Rice Syrup, Gelatin and Bht. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

210 kcal per serving, or 350 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats Original on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 16/100 Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats Original scores worse than most cereal we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Lovebird Grain Free Honey Breakfast Cereal at 100/100.
