About SWEETENED RICE CEREAL WITH REAL COCOA
Post's Sweetened Rice Cereal with Real Cocoa is rice and sugar first, then hydrogenated coconut and palm kernel oils, then alkali-processed cocoa. The hydrogenated oils give the puffed rice coating its snap and richness. Fiber is essentially zero. Protein is very low. No whole grains appear; the rice base is refined, and the cocoa is more accent than substance. Caramel color and artificial flavor round out the formula. Fortified vitamins and minerals are added back in, but the base product is essentially a sugared puffed-rice candy. Compare it directly to Cocoa Pebbles, because the formulas are nearly identical.
