About SWEETENED PUFFED WHEAT CEREAL
Sugar is the first ingredient in Malt-O-Meal's sweetened puffed wheat cereal, followed by wheat, corn syrup, and honey - so the grain is real but comes buried under multiple layers of sweetener. Fat is essentially absent, which is unusual for this category. The carbohydrate load is high and mostly sweet. Wheat does contribute some natural protein and fiber that corn-only puff cereals lack. The fortification panel is solid. Straightforward and very sweet, best understood as a sugar-delivery vehicle with some wheat mixed in.
