Ingredients
Ingredient overview, not a full transcription: rice-based grains, sugar, molasses, salt and vitamin E; added vitamins and minerals. See the complete manufacturer list.
Manufacturer allergen statement
Not reported. Check the current package and manufacturer.
We do not infer allergen-free or gluten-free certifications from an ingredient list.
Which column are you reading?
This record uses the dry cereal panel, not the separate with-milk column. Adding milk changes the prepared food; do not copy one column’s calories and another column’s carbohydrate value.
Before a side-by-side comparison
Keep the 40 g serving in view. A different cup measure or cereal density can change the amount represented by a bowl. Our normalized figures are calculations from the label, not a recommended portion.
What this page does not establish
We have not tasted this cereal or checked your physical package. Use the current package for ingredient and allergen decisions.

Make this label useful.
How do I use the two nutrition columns?
The first column follows 1 1/3 cup (40g). The derived column uses an equal 100 g weight only where the source supports it. Neither amount is a prescribed portion. Read the calculation guide.
Does zero added sugar mean zero total sugar?
No. Added sugars are included within total sugars. Read both rows without adding them together, and do not turn either number into an overall health rating. Understand the two sugar fields.
What if my package looks different?
Check the exact flavor, market, package and preparation state. Follow the current physical package for ingredients and allergens. You can report a source mismatch without sending personal health information.
