For an Easter brunch for one, you can measure out a bowlful from a standard box: Kellogg's Corn Flakes lists a 30 g serving, while AH Cornflakes lists 40 g. Before buying, consider whether you’ll use the rest of the box, and if you have dietary requirements, check the nutritional information and allergens on the exact packaging.
You want to serve one portion at Easter brunch without pouring out the whole box. The serving suggestion on the packaging gives you a starting point for measuring; seal the box afterwards, following the storage instructions.
You want to know what’s in the cornflakes before serving them to yourself or a guest. For the Kellogg's Corn Flakes product reviewed, Jumbo lists barley as an allergen. So check the allergen information on the exact packaging.
First, decide how much you want to measure out for brunch and what you’ll do with the rest of the box. Then compare the nutritional information and, if you have relevant dietary restrictions, check the allergen declaration.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion and what’s left in the box | Check the serving suggestion and storage instructions. Kellogg's Corn Flakes lists a 30 g serving; AH Cornflakes lists 40 g. | If I’m making a bowl just for myself, I want to be able to measure out the amount I need and store the rest. Around 42% of consumers would consider portion size and leftovers their main priority. |
| Nutritional information | Compare sugar, salt and fibre on the same basis, such as per 100 g, and check the ingredients list too. | Anyone serving cornflakes alongside other brunch dishes will want to know which ingredients and nutritional values come with their choice. For around 33% of consumers, this would be the most important consideration. |
| Allergens | Read the allergen declaration on the exact packaging; don’t assume a product is suitable based on its category. | If I’m serving cornflakes to a guest who needs to avoid certain grains, I need to know whether this particular box is suitable. For around 25% of consumers, checking allergens would come first. |
