Cereals and oats

Yenzo has checked 4 products in this group, from Emco, Kellogg's, Quaker and Uncle Tobys; on a Vietnamese pack the group is called “ngũ cốc, yến mạch”. The ingredient list and the nutrition table of each product come from its own label — all 4 from the open database Open Food Facts — and every product is rated with the same open formula the Yenzo app uses. Product names are given as printed on the pack, in Vietnamese, with a short English description in brackets.

On the Yenzo scale, all 4 are rated “Moderate”. Across these 4 products, the thing that most often pulls the rating down is energy density (4 of 4 products), followed by salt (2) and sugar (2). The ratings compare cereals and oats with each other by the same rules — which rank higher within the group — not whether to eat them. Each product's page lists the reasons behind its level, figure by figure, with the threshold each figure is measured against.
