Breakfast cereal
Cereals: flagged vs preference-friendly
Cereal panels usually put sugar or malt syrup near the front and park BHT in the liner statement or the vitamin block. Rainbow pieces mean you should look for FD&C colors by number, not by the picture on the box. Plain oats and puffed rice often have nowhere for those ingredients to hide.
A vitamin blend (niacin, iron, folic acid) is not a dye and is not in the V1 avoid lists. Do not read a fortified cereal as flagged unless a listed sweetener, dye, oil, or preservative is actually printed.

Strict label pass, in the page itself
Every sample below is an original demo formula. Passing means the strict avoid list found none of its phrases on that text. It is not a store recommendation and not a safety clearance.
