Our take

CleanPlate review

Strawberry flakes with sugar second on the list

Zerobeli Strawberry Corn Flakes is a 260 g pack of baked corn grit flakes with sugar, strawberry pulp and dried strawberry chunks. The panel is printed per 26 g serve.

CleanPlate scores it [L]EB3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by corn grits, sugar and strawberry pulp), with additives that cost points: BHA. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: the claim "Corn Flakes is low in fat, rich in iron, cholesterol free, high in protein and an immunity booster. It has essential nutrients that are good for eyes." does not hold: protein 5.31 g per 100 g is under 11 g (5.5 for drinks) and 1.42 g per 100 kcal is under 5.5. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (32.8 g per 100 g) and calories (373 kcal per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • On the pack

    “Corn Flakes is low in fat, rich in iron, cholesterol free, high in protein and an immunity booster”

    Misleading

    The panel prints no iron and only 5.3 g protein per 100 g, far from a high-protein flake.

  • On the pack

    “No Refined White Sugar”

    Be careful

    Plain sugar is the second ingredient and added sugar is 32.8 g per 100 g; the claim does not say the flakes are low in sugar.

  • On the pack

    “Real Strawberry Chunks”

    Holds

    Dried strawberry chunks and strawberry pulp are listed, with no share printed.

  • On the pack

    “No Added Colour”

    Holds

    Beetroot powder is the only colouring ingredient and it is a food, not an added colour.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Corn grits, sugar, strawberry pulp, dried strawberry chunks, beetroot powder, cereal extract, iodised salt, soy lecithin and BHA; no shares are printed.

Per 100 g: 373 kcal, 0.96 g fat of which 0.54 g saturated, 32.8 g sugar of which 32.8 g added, 5.31 g protein, 58.5 mg sodium. The panel prints per 26 g serve; values are converted to per 100 g and the converted energy matches the Atwater sum. No fibre line is printed. The earlier listing read of a 30 g serve was wrong. Net 260 g.

Ingredients to watch

  • Added sugarConcern

    32.8 g per 100 g, a third of the flakes.

  • BHAWorth watching

    The antioxidant INS 320 costs label points.

  • Protein and fibreWorth watching

    5.3 g protein and no fibre line give no nutritional credit.

  • SodiumFine

    58 mg per 100 g is low.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "No refined white sugar means low sugar"

Sugar is listed second and the panel declares 32.8 g added per 100 g.

Myth: "Real strawberry makes it a fruit breakfast"

No share is printed; the strawberry sits below the sugar in the list.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsOccasionally
  • ChildrenRarely
  • Diabetes or prediabetesLimit

Smarter ways to eat it

Mix with plain cornflakes

A half-and-half bowl halves the sugar.

Top with curd and fruit

Curd adds protein and fresh fruit adds fibre.
