Our take

CleanPlate review

Genuinely multigrain, with a little less sugar

Kellogg's Multigrain Plus Corn Flakes are made from five grains (82.6%): corn, whole wheat, rice, ragi and rolled barley, with sugar, cereal extract, added oligofructose fibre and wheat bran, added vitamins and iron, coconut flavouring and caramel colour.

CleanPlate scores it [F]BB3. The B for nutrition reflects 6 g fibre and the added iron and vitamins; without the fortification it would be a C, hence the [F]. The B for ingredients reflects whole grains and a single antioxidant, held back by artificial flavour and caramel colour. The 3 for risk comes from sugar at about 16% of the calories, with little fat or salt.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Multigrain always means whole grain"

Here most of it is: whole wheat, ragi and barley. Corn grits and rice are refined.

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 in a measured bowl
  • ChildrenFine as a regular breakfast
  • Diabetes or prediabetesPair with protein; watch the portion

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.

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.
