Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Frosted Flakes Strawberry Milkshake cereal is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food options. This product does not meet the criteria for organic certification, nor does it use non-GMO ingredients, which results in a lower score on our scale. Additionally, the presence of added sugars is a concern, particularly in the form of sugar listed as the second ingredient, indicating a high concentration in the product.
The inclusion of both natural and artificial flavors, as well as pyridoxine hydrochloride (a form of vitamin B6), further reduces the cereal’s standing. These elements are considered potentially harmful additives and contribute to the product’s low rating. The artificial flavors, in particular, are categorized as known harmful additives, which are more heavily penalized on our scale.
Moreover, the cereal is penalized for the presence of an ingredient associated with high fructose corn syrup, although this specific sweetener is not listed. This is reflective of our strict criteria against additives that are linked with negative health effects.
The Frosted Flakes Strawberry Milkshake cereal comprises milled corn as its base ingredient, followed by a significant amount of sugar. Malt flavor and a minimal amount of salt are also present. The product utilizes vegetable juice for color and beta-carotene, an ingredient typically used to enhance color as well. It is fortified with a range of vitamins and minerals, including iron, various B vitamins, folic acid, vitamin D3, and vitamin B12.
The assessment of this product is grounded in a commitment to promoting healthier food options. The cereal’s low rating is due to the combined presence of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, and harmful additives. These elements are not aligned with the cleaner, more wholesome alternatives that consumers are increasingly seeking. Hence, the Frosted Flakes Strawberry Milkshake cereal receives the lowest possible score on our scale, and we advise consumers to consider alternative options that are more conducive to a clean-eating lifestyle.
