Ingredients (9)

• Wholegrain Wheat (95%) (safe) — The dominant ingredient. Whole grain keeps the bran and germ, delivering fiber, slow carbs, and minerals.
• Malted barley extract (moderate) — A malt syrup that is largely sugar with a toasty flavour; a second distinct sweetener.
• Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
• Salt (moderate) — Added for taste and mild preservation. Fine in small amounts but adds to daily sodium.
• Niacin (B3) (safe) — Essential vitamin supporting metabolism and nervous system.
• Iron (safe) — Added mineral fortification; useful, especially for plant-based diets.
• Riboflavin (B2) (safe) — Vitamin fortification.
• Thiamin (B1) (safe) — Added vitamin supporting nerve and energy function.
• folic acid (safe) — Synthetic folate fortification.
