About GENERAL MILLS, CHEERIOS, OAT CEREAL
Plain General Mills Cheerios keeps it simple: whole grain oats, corn starch, a small amount of sugar, salt, and tripotassium phosphate, fortified with the usual vitamins and minerals. Fiber is relatively high for a mainstream cereal, fat is low, and protein modest. The oat base is the real draw here, providing soluble beta-glucan fiber that has genuine evidence behind it for heart health. No artificial flavors, no excess sweetener.
