About Breakfast cereal, cornflakes, fortified

Fortified cornflakes are a ready-to-eat cereal made from processed corn, formed into thin flakes and supplied with added vitamins or minerals. They are commonly served with milk or a milk alternative, and can also be eaten dry or used as a crisp ingredient in other preparations. The term does not identify a particular fortification blend or recipe.

The flakes are light, dry, and crisp, with a mild corn flavour that may be toasted. They soften after absorbing liquid. Sweetness, saltiness, flake thickness, and additional ingredients vary between products; this category does not imply a frosted or honey-coated cereal.
