About CEREAL, ORIGINAL
Post's Original Cereal leans heavily sugary, with corn flour and sugar leading the ingredient list, cookie bits made with cocoa, and caramel color for visual effect. The flavor profile is dessert-adjacent, and the presence of BHT as a preservative and artificial flavors underlines its status as a heavily processed product. Fortified with vitamins and minerals, but those additions cannot substitute for real nutritional substance in what is essentially a sweet snack dressed as breakfast.
