Kellogg's Frosted Flakes

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Kellogg's Frosted Flakes scores 40/100 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 Frosted Flakes lists 13 ingredients, starting with Milled Corn, Sugar, Malt Flavor, 2% Or Less of Salt and Bht For Freshness. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 40/100 Kellogg's Frosted Flakes scores worse than most cereal we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Lovebird Grain Free Honey Breakfast Cereal at 100/100.
