Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Frosted Flakes Corn 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, 2g protein and 13g 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.

Trader Joe's Frosted Flakes Corn Cereal lists 23 ingredients, starting with Corn, Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Wheat and Barley Malt Extract. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

140 kcal per serving, or 389 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Trader Joe's Frosted Flakes Corn Cereal on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Trader Joe's Frosted Flakes Corn Cereal scores worse than most cereal we have scored. A higher-scoring option in cereal is Lovebird Grain Free Honey Breakfast Cereal at 100/100.
