The FDA has named has determined that seven cereals, once thought of as “healthy”, really aren’t. Added sugar and sodium are the reasons. The FDA mandates that, for a cereal to be healthy, the cereal would need ¾ ounces of whole grains, 1 gram of saturated fat or less, and no more than 230 milligrams of sodium and 2.5 grams of added sugar to be considered healthy.  

Here are the seven:

  • Raisin Bran (9g of added sugars)
  • Honey Nut Cheerios (12g of added sugars)
  • Corn Flakes (300mg of sodium; 4g of added sugars)
  • Honey Bunches of Oats, Honey Roasted (8g of added sugars)
  • Frosted Mini Wheats (12g of added sugars)
  • Life (8g of added sugars)
  • Special K (270mg of sodium; 4g of added sugars)
