Malt-O-Meal Smores Cereal

Breakdown

8 ingredients to avoid

Malt-O-Meal Smores Cereal scores 15/100 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.

Malt-O-Meal Smores Cereal lists 27 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Whole Grain Wheat, Degermed Yellow Corn Meal, Marshmallows and Canola and/Or Soybean Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Malt-O-Meal Smores 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.
