S'mores Cereal

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 12 ingredients to avoid

Malt-O-Meal S'mores 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 1g fiber, 1g protein and 17g 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.

Malt-O-Meal S'mores Cereal lists 37 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Corn Meal, Whole Grain Wheat, Marshmallows and Modified Corn Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

160 kcal per serving, or 400 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Malt-O-Meal S'mores Cereal on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Malt-O-Meal S'mores 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.
