What to know about Kellogg's Strawberry Puree Corn Flakes

A sweetened corn cereal with 2.4% strawberry

A 300 g box of flaked corn cereal made from corn grits (67.8%), sugar, beetroot extract for colour, strawberry puree (2.4%), malt extract, iodised salt, added vitamins and minerals, an antioxidant (INS 320/B) and nature-identical flavour. It is bought by families who want a quick, fruity-tasting breakfast that goes with cold milk.

Per 100 g it has 376 kcal, 5.5 g protein, 2.5 g fibre, 27 g added sugar and 470 mg sodium. In a 30 g serve that is 113 kcal, about 8.1 g added sugar and about 141 mg sodium. It is fortified, with 7 mg iron and seven vitamins per 100 g, and fat is low at 0.8 g.

The front says real strawberry puree, and the puree is real, but it is a small share of the list and sits behind sugar. The back invites you to try MultiGrain+ corn flakes, yet corn grits are the only grain in the ingredient list, which sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [F][L]CB4.

Does Kellogg's Strawberry Puree Corn Flakes live up to its claims?

The low-fat claim holds and the strawberry puree is real but only 2.4%. The MultiGrain+ line does not hold, since corn grits are the only grain listed.

  • On the pack

    “Real Strawberry Puree”

    Partly true

    The puree is real, but it is 2.4% of the cereal, and nature-identical flavour is listed as well. Sugar comes ahead of it.

  • On the pack

    “Try Our New MultiGrain+ Corn Flakes”

    Misleading

    Corn grits (67.8%) are the only grain in the ingredient list, so fewer than two distinct grains back the multigrain promise.

  • On the pack

    “<1% Fat, Naturally Low Fat”

    Holds

    Fat is 0.8 g per 100 g and saturated fat is 0.2 g. The 27 g added sugar is the part the front does not mention.

  • On the pack

    “High in Iron and Vitamins”

    Be careful

    True, with 7 mg iron per 100 g and seven vitamins, but these are added. Without fortification the nutrition grade would drop from C to E.

  • On the pack

    “IRON | PROTEIN”

    Be careful

    Protein is 5.5 g per 100 g, about 1.7 g in a 30 g serve, so iron is the stronger part of the claim.

Why Kellogg's Strawberry Puree Corn Flakes scores [L][F]CB4

Nutrition is a C that rests on added vitamins and iron, ingredients are a B held back by the [L] flag and three additives, and risk is a 4 because of 27 g added sugar per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why C

The core score is zero: protein is 5.5 g per 100 g, fibre is 2.5 g, and the 88 g of carbohydrate includes 27 g of added sugar. The protein comes mostly from corn grits.

The grade comes from the vitamins and iron added by the maker: B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, folate, vitamin C and iron. Without that fortification it would fall to an E.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

Corn grits lead at 67.8%, then sugar, so the base is simple but sweetened. Strawberry puree is 2.4%, and the list does not give a share for malt extract or the added vitamins and minerals, which costs a small label point.

Nature-identical flavour, beet red colour (162) and the antioxidant BHA (320) each cost ingredient points, BHA the most.

The back of the pack invites you to try MultiGrain+ corn flakes, but fewer than two distinct grains are listed. That hollow promise sets the [L] flag and costs further ingredient points.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4

Sugar is the main driver: 27 g added sugar per 100 g, about 8.1 g in a 30 g serve. Sodium is next at 470 mg per 100 g, about 141 mg per serve.

Energy adds a little at 376 kcal per 100 g, 113 kcal per serve. Saturated fat is only 0.2 g and trans fat is 0 g, so they play almost no part.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

[F] Added vitamins or minerals meaningfully lift this product's nutrition grade. Without them it would score lower.

[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.

Green flags

Nothing stands out in its favour.

What's in Kellogg's Strawberry Puree Corn Flakes?

Corn grits lead, with sugar second and strawberry puree well down the list. Watch the added sugar, the sodium and the BHA preservative.

The ingredient list, read for you

Corn grits (67.8%) come first, then sugar, so the cereal is mostly refined corn with sweetener. Beetroot extract gives the pink colour, strawberry puree (2.4%) and nature-identical flavour give the taste, and malt extract adds sweetness and a toasted note.

Iodised salt, added vitamins and minerals complete the recipe. The antioxidant INS 320/B (BHA) is there to keep the cereal from going stale.

Ingredients to watch

  • Added sugarConcern

    27 g per 100 g, about 8.1 g in a 30 g serve, and it is the second ingredient. It is the main reason risk is a 4.

  • BHA (INS 320/B)Concern

    An antioxidant preservative that costs ingredient points, the most of the three additives in the list.

  • SodiumWorth watching

    470 mg per 100 g, about 141 mg per 30 g serve, before any milk.

  • Beet red colour and nature-identical flavourWorth watching

    Both cost ingredient points. The flavour sits alongside a puree that is only 2.4%.

  • Low fatFine

    0.8 g fat and 0.2 g saturated fat per 100 g, with 0 g trans fat.

What it doesn’t have

  • No whole grain is listed, and fibre is only 2.5 g per 100 g.
  • No share is given for the added vitamins and minerals or the malt extract.

Who should eat Kellogg's Strawberry Puree Corn Flakes?

An occasional bowl for most adults, and rarely for children or anyone watching blood sugar, since 30 g carries about 8.1 g added sugar.

  • Most adultsOccasionally

    About 8.1 g added sugar in a 30 g serve, and little protein or fibre.

  • ChildrenRarely

    27 g added sugar per 100 g, plus a colour, flavouring and BHA.

  • Diabetes or prediabetesRarely

    88 g carbohydrate per 100 g, 27 g of it added sugar, with only 2.5 g fibre.

  • Active peopleOccasionally

    Quick carbohydrate at 113 kcal per serve, but only about 1.7 g protein.
