About SWEETENED PUFFED WHEAT CEREAL
Sugar is listed first in Malt-O-Meal's sweetened puffed wheat cereal, followed by wheat and then corn syrup and honey. That order tells the story: this is a candy-adjacent cereal where the grain plays a supporting role behind multiple sweeteners. No fat and no fiber to speak of. The honey and caramel color give it a golden look, and the vitamin and mineral panel adds what the base formula lacks. Protein is low despite wheat being prominent in the name.
