Our take

CleanPlate review

Plain, simple flakes; watch the salt

Bagrry's Corn Flakes Plus are corn grits (89%) toasted with sugar, added fibre (oligofructose and wheat fibre, 1.6%), salt and cereal extract, with two mild antioxidants. There is no colour, flavouring, oil or added vitamins.

CleanPlate scores it CA3. The C for nutrition reflects modest corn protein and 4.3 g fibre with no added vitamins. The A for ingredients reflects a short, clean list with no oil, colour or flavouring. The 3 for risk comes from sodium, which is on the high side for a cereal, with low sugar and fat.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Corn flakes are a high-fibre breakfast"

Corn grits are degermed; the fibre here is boosted with added oligofructose.

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 adultsFine most days
  • ChildrenFine; add fruit
  • Diabetes or prediabetesPair with protein and nuts; corn flakes digest fast

Smarter ways to eat it

Add real protein

Stir in curd, a handful of nuts or seeds, or have an egg alongside; cereal and milk alone is a light breakfast.

Add fruit for fibre

Top with sliced apple, banana or berries.
