365 by Whole Foods Market, Organic Golden Flakes & Oat Clusters, 12 Ounce
What You Should Know
You'd spot this on a grocery run in the cereal aisle or stacked on a Whole Foods shelf—handy for quick breakfasts or a pantry staple for busy mornings. It feels nostalgic and wholesome at first glance (corn flakes + oat clusters), but the crunchy texture and cluster binding come from industrial processing and added sugars/oils. Ingredients like milled corn flakes, clustered granola bound with cane sugar and oil, plus 'natural flavor' and mixed tocopherols for freshness are characteristic of a highly processed, shelf-stable product.
