Post Shredded Wheat Original — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Post Shredded Wheat Original by Post OKAY — score 60/90.

Basically just whole wheat and bran — high fiber, no sugar, no salt. The only knock is BHT, a synthetic preservative some countries restrict.

Why this verdict

• Whole grain wheat and bran are the entire food — genuinely minimally processed
• No added sugar and no added salt, which is unusual for cereal
• Good source of fiber (6g per serving)
• BHT, a synthetic preservative restricted in some countries, is the one blemish
• High glycemic index — spikes blood sugar faster than 'whole grain' suggests

Ingredients (3)

• Whole Grain Wheat (safe) — Intact whole grain with fiber, protein and slow-release carbs.
• WHEAT BRAN (safe) — Adds insoluble fibre - a genuine positive for digestion.
• BHT (concerning) — Synthetic antioxidant added to preserve freshness. Restricted in the EU and Japan; flagged for possible endocrine and cancer concerns at high doses.
