Health Integrity Analysis

Is Peanut Butter Cereal truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 35/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Additive Watch: Critical Flags

The ingredient list reveals the presence of Peanut. One of the Top 9 Major Allergens. Peanut allergies are among the most severe and life-threatening, often requiring those affected to carry an EpiPen at all times. For health-conscious consumers, this is a significant red flag that lowered the product's overall score.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 24g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 6 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Peanut Butter Cereal achieves a CakeID Score of 35/100.

Treat Only: Due to the low score, we recommend enjoying this only as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple.
