Multigrain Cheerios

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Nestlé Multigrain Cheerios scores 22/100 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, 3g protein and 5g 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.

Nestlé Multigrain Cheerios lists 21 ingredients, starting with Whole Grain Oat Flour, Whole Grain Wheat Flour, Whole Grain Barley Flour, Sugar and Wheat Flour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

113 kcal per serving, or 377 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Nestlé Multigrain Cheerios on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 22/100 Nestlé Multigrain Cheerios scores worse than most cereal we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Kavanagh's Organic Jumbo Porridge Oats at 100/100.
