⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags
The ingredient list reveals the presence of Red 40 (Allura Red). A synthetic petroleum-based dye used to create bright red colors in candy and drinks. It has been linked to hyperactivity and attention issues in sensitive children. Banned in parts of Europe for use in baby food. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.
Nutritional Balance
With only 7g of sugar, this product maintains a balanced profile. It avoids the excessive sweetness of typical processed foods while providing 7g of protein.
Keto & Diet Matchmaker
For those following a strict Keto diet, Bran Flakes Cereal is highly problematic. A standard Keto diet restricts carbs to about 20g per day. Just 100g of this product contains 34g of carbohydrates, which instantly consumes roughly 170% of your entire daily allowance.
Final Verdict
Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Bran Flakes Cereal achieves a CakeID Score of 70/100.
