About ORIGINAL CEREAL, ORIGINAL
Post's Original cereal - likely the Oreo O's-style product based on the cookie bits in the ingredient deck - runs almost entirely on corn flour and sugar, with a cocoa component and caramel color for the dark visual. Fiber is low and protein is nearly absent. The cookie bits are essentially more sugar and refined flour with alkalized cocoa. BHT preserves freshness. Nutritionally, this is in the same tier as other heavily sweetened corn-based cereals: mostly refined carbs and sugar with B vitamins and iron added back in.
