Rice Chex Cereal, 12 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find Rice Chex in the cereal aisle or the family pantry — a quick, grab-and-pour choice for weekday breakfasts, school mornings, or a crunchy snack. It feels practical and a bit nostalgic: light, crispy and familiar rather than indulgent. The uniform puffed texture and the presence of added sodium, sugar and isolated vitamins/minerals indicate industrial processing (extrusion/puffing and nutrient fortification), hallmarks of an ultraprocessed product.
