Dark Chocolate Cereal, 9 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this on the cereal aisle or in the specialty/health section, grabbed by shoppers looking for a low-sugar, chocolatey breakfast or snack. It reads nostalgic and indulgent—chocolate cereal vibes—but is marketed as a 'better-for-you' alternative with protein and fiber. The ingredient list (isolated pea protein, multiple fiber isolates, alkali-processed cocoa, natural flavors and non-nutritive sweeteners) and the uniform crunchy texture imply extensive industrial reformulation typical of highly processed foods.
