Our take

CleanPlate review

Real almonds, a little honey, a lot of sugar

Bagrry's Corn Flakes Plus Almonds & Honey are corn grits (61.6%) toasted with sugar, almonds (9%), dextrose and honey (1.5%), plus 1% added fibre, cereal extract, two mild antioxidants and flavouring.

CleanPlate scores it CA3. The C for nutrition reflects modest corn protein and 3.7 g fibre with no added vitamins. The A for ingredients reflects a short list with real almonds and no colour, oil or preservatives. The 3 for risk comes from sugar at about 28% of the calories.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Honey-coated is naturally sweetened"

Sugar and dextrose come before honey in the list.

Myth: "The milk makes it balanced"

Milk adds protein and calcium, but it does not change the sugar already in the cereal.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsOccasionally; plain flakes for every day
  • ChildrenA treat
  • Diabetes or prediabetesLimit

Smarter ways to eat it

Make your own

Plain flakes, a few almonds and a spoon of honey: same taste, far less sugar.

Pour less, add fruit

A 30 g bowl is smaller than most people pour. Measure once, then add banana, berries or chopped apple for sweetness and fibre.
