About CEREAL
Malt-O-Meal cereal leads with corn flour and sugar, followed by corn syrup, then canola oil. The ingredient list includes synthetic dyes: Red 3, Blue 1, and Yellow 5. Whole grain oat flour appears but is not the primary grain. The profile is almost entirely refined carbohydrate with minimal protein and negligible fiber. Added vitamins and minerals meet standard fortification requirements. This is firmly in the sweetened kids' cereal category, high in sugar and low in whole food nutrition.
