Overview
- Profeco tested 43 cereal presentations and ran 2,942 laboratory analyses to verify nutrition tables, ingredient claims and net weight.
- The study recorded sugar levels that ranged from 0.8 to 46.8 grams per 100 grams, with First Street Apple Whirls measuring the highest sugar content at 46.8 g/100 g.
- Laboratory tests found specific label mismatches including Wipala, which declared 0 mg sodium but measured 416 mg per 100 g, and Selecto Brand Choco Bolitas, which declared 400 g but contained 375.4 g.
- Eight products showed higher fat than declared (examples include Great Value Azucaradas, Kellogg’s Corn Pops and Kellogg’s All Bran Original), and Profeco also flagged inconsistencies in protein, denominations and front‑of‑pack labeling.
- Profeco published the full report in Revista del Consumidor, urged consumers to read nutrition tables and warning seals, and noted the results apply only to the tested presentations rather than entire brands.
