About CEREAL, LIGHTLY SWEETENED
Whole grain wheat first, sugar second, and then a short list of flavor and color additives including Red 40 and Blue 1.

The color additives are the main thing that separates this variety from the unflavored option. It fits well in a diet that wants whole grain carbohydrates with moderate sweetness.
