About FRUIT WHIRLS NATURALLY FLAVORED SWEETENED CEREAL
Family Gourmet Fruit Whirls cereal blends corn, wheat, and oat flours with sugar as the second ingredient, and leans on artificial colors including Yellow 6, Red 40, and Blue 1 for its fruity appearance. Real fruit doesn't appear anywhere in the ingredient list. The formula is heavily carbohydrate-driven with almost no fat and modest protein. Added vitamins and minerals bring some nutritional value, but the base is mostly refined grain and sugar shaped and colored to appeal to children.
