About COCOA PUFFS
Cocoa Puffs lives up to its sugar-forward reputation: whole grain corn and corn meal give it a claim to whole grains, but sugar and corn syrup arrive early in the list, and the chocolate flavor comes from alkali-processed cocoa rather than anything close to real chocolate. The cereal is mostly refined carbohydrate with a light dusting of vitamins added back in. Kids love the chocolate-milk effect it leaves in the bowl, and that tells you most of what you need to know about where it sits nutritionally.
