fortified cereals
Vitamin-added grain flakes
Fortified cereals are breakfast cereals with added vitamins and minerals not naturally present in the grain—typically iron, B vitamins, and folic acid.
The fortification compensates for nutrients lost during processing and targets common dietary deficiencies.
The box claims one serving provides 100% of your daily iron.
Most mass-market cereals sold in the U.S. are fortified.
