Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 8 ingredients to avoid

Kellogg's Special K Strawberry and Vanilla 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 3g fiber, 4g protein and 15g 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 Special K Strawberry and Vanilla Cold Breakfast Cereal lists 37 ingredients, starting with Whole Grain Wheat, Sugar, Rice, Whole Grain Oats and Wheat Bran. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
