Raisin Bran — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Raisin Bran by Kellogg's TREAT — score 45/90.

A genuinely fiber-rich whole-grain cereal, but two kinds of added sugar pile on top of the raisins to push it near 17g sugar per cup.

Why this verdict

• Two added sugars (sugar + brown sugar syrup) stacked on top of the raisins' own sugar
• Roughly 17-18g sugar per cup, higher than several candy cereals
• Real fiber from whole grain wheat and wheat bran is the redeeming factor
• Simple, short ingredient list with nothing artificial or engineered

Ingredients (7)

• Whole Grain Wheat (safe) — Genuine whole grain with fiber and B vitamins, the best thing in the box.
• raisins (moderate) — Real dried fruit but concentrated natural sugar.
• WHEAT BRAN (safe) — Pure fibre from the outer grain layer, good for digestion.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
• Brown Sugar Syrup (moderate) — A second added sweetener; more free sugar under a different name.
• malt flavor (moderate) — Barley-derived flavoring, minor amount, mild sugar contribution.
• Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; fine in moderation but the main reason to watch portion size.
