Our take

CleanPlate review

Mostly corn and rice, with candied fruit.

Kellogg's Fruit, Nut & Seeds Muesli mixes corn grits, rice flakes and rolled oats with raisins, candied papaya and cranberry, pumpkin seeds, almonds and millet flakes.

CleanPlate scores it [F]BB3. The B for nutrition is supported by added iron, vitamin C and B vitamins. The B for ingredients reflects no added oil, held back by glucose-fructose syrup and candied fruit. The 3 for risk comes from sugar.
