Ingredients
Ingredient overview, not a full transcription: corn-based grains and starch, sugar, salt, baking soda and vitamin E; added vitamins and minerals. Consult the 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.
The version behind the table
The source presents a dry cereal panel and a separate prepared example with skim milk. This record follows the as-packaged panel throughout.
Compare the amount, not just the bowl
The stated serving weighs 39 g. Check both the cup measure and gram amount before comparing another cereal. A lower per-serving number alone does not explain whether the compared servings contain the same amount of food.
Keep the scope clear
This is published-label analysis, not a taste test or a personal breakfast recommendation. Check your current package before use.

How do I use the two nutrition columns?
The first column follows 1 1/4 cup (39g). 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.
