What we say

They might not taste salty but these little flakes of corn are packed full of sodium (salt).

One of the best things about a good breakfast cereal is that it can give kids a good whack of their daily fibre needs, but with only 2.6% fibre KELLOGG'S Corn Flakes won't get them very far at all. (Kids don't need as much fibre as adults so look for a cereal with more than 5% fibre or 5g of fibre per 100g.)

After 75 years on Australian breakfast tables KELLOGG'S Corn Flakes are still one of the top selling cereals, but when it comes to healthy cereals for kids CHOICE gives them a thumbs down.

If KELLOGG'S Corn Flakes do make an appearance on your breakfast table, top them with some fruit like banana or strawberry to help boost the kids' fibre intake and take the curse off all that salt.

Additives listed: none.
