Product Insights
Frosted Flakes are corn-based breakfast cereals produced in Germany, featuring a sweet sugar coating and a small amount of barley malt extract, salt, and an emulsifier (E471). The product belongs to the cereals and potatoes group and carries a Nutri‑Score of D and a NOVA 4 classification, reflecting its ultra‑processed nature, high added‑sugar content (25 g per 100 g) and moderate salt (0.79 g per 100 g) while containing virtually no fat and low fiber. While it provides 5 g of protein per 100 g and is vegan‑compatible, it also contains gluten from barley and may not suit low‑sugar or low‑salt dietary goals.
