CleanPlate reviewLow-fat corn flakes with a fibre-rich claim that fails
Zerobeli Low Fat Golden Corn Flakes is a 1 kg pack of corn flakes made from corn grits (90%), sugar, oligofructose, salt and malt extract, with an emulsifier, a raising agent and BHA. The panel is printed per 30 g serve and converted to per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it [L]EB2. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g; its 7 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by corn grits, sugar and oligofructose), with additives that cost points: BHA. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: the claim "Fiber-Rich Breakfast" does not hold: fibre 3.6 g per 100 g is under 6 g and 0.94 g per 100 kcal is under 3. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 90 mg, free sugar 3.67 g, saturated fat 0.8 g per 100 g).

Very low nutrient density

- 3.6 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 384 kcal
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.
Good, few concerning additives
- Base
- Corn Grits
- Sweeteners
- Sugar
- Additives
- 3
- Flagged
- BHA
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar
- 3.7 g
- Sodium
- 90 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.8 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Corn grits (90%), sugar, oligofructose, iodized salt, malt extract, emulsifier (322), raising agent (500(ii)) and antioxidant (320).
Per 100 g: 384 kcal, 1.6 g fat of which 0.8 g saturated, 3.67 g sugar of which 3.67 g added, 3.6 g fibre, 7 g protein, 90 mg sodium. The panel is per 30 g and converted to per 100 g; Atwater energy is within 1.7% of the declared value. Part of the front cup hides the print and one digit of the oligofructose line is unclear. Oligofructose is isolated fibre, so only part of the fibre earns credit. Net quantity 1 kg is from the listing.
Ingredients to watch
- Fibre-rich claimConcern
3.6 g fibre per 100 g does not meet the 6 g high line.
- BHAWorth watching
An artificial antioxidant that costs 3 points on ingredients.
- Added sugarWorth watching
3.67 g per 100 g, modest.
- FatFine
1.6 g per 100 g.
Common misconceptions
Myth: "Low fat means healthy"
Corn flakes are refined starch with 7 g protein and 3.6 g fibre per 100 g.
Myth: "Fibre-rich"
The fibre is partly added oligofructose and is under the line for a rich source.
