Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 10 ingredients to avoid

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.

Malt-O-Meal Apple Zings Breakfast Cereal lists 21 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Degermed Yellow Corn Flour, Wheat Flour, Whole Grain Oat Flour and Corn Syrup. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

385 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Malt-O-Meal Apple Zings Breakfast Cereal on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Malt-O-Meal Apple Zings Breakfast Cereal scores worse than most cereal we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Kavanagh's Organic Jumbo Porridge Oats at 100/100.
