About CHOCOLATY SWEETENED RICE CEREAL, COCOA CRISPY RICE
Kroger Chocolaty Sweetened Rice Cereal (Cocoa Crispy Rice) is a breakfast cereal in the cocoa-flavored puffed rice category, sold under The Kroger Co.'s Kroger brand. This product represents an earlier USDA-documented formulation and its ingredient list reflects practices common prior to the 2015 trans fat GRAS revocation — specifically, the presence of BHT added to packaging material to preserve freshness, and soy lecithin within the semisweet chocolate component.
The primary ingredients are rice and sugar, followed by alkali-processed cocoa. The product contains a semisweet chocolate inclusion of up to 2% that itself contains chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, artificial flavoring, and soy lecithin. Additional minor ingredients include canola oil, salt, malt syrup, and artificial flavor. The vitamin and mineral blend includes calcium carbonate, sodium ascorbate (vitamin C), alpha tocopherol acetate (vitamin E), niacinamide, zinc oxide, reduced iron, vitamin A palmitate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6), riboflavin (B2), thiamine mononitrate (B1), folic acid, cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), reflecting a comprehensive fortification profile.
Allergens present include soy (via soy lecithin in the chocolate inclusion). No wheat, dairy, or egg ingredients are listed. The BHT in packaging material is a synthetic antioxidant used to retard oxidation in the cereal itself; this practice has been documented in several cereal formulations.
Per 100 grams, this cereal provides 387 calories, 3.23 g protein, 87.1 g carbohydrates, 3.23 g fat, and 3.2 g dietary fiber. Calorie density is high, driven by refined rice and sugar. Not suitable for low-carbohydrate diets.
