Animal-derived ingredients identified
Ingredients with an unresolved source
Unspecified flavourings may contain carriers or ingredients of animal origin.
This ingredient name is in the source dictionary, but it is not yet covered by a verified assessment. This is not evidence of animal origin.
Niacin is normally synthesized, but the manufacturing source is not confirmed by this ingredient list.
The source or production method of retinyl palmitate can vary, so it is not always vegan.
The source or production method of vitamin A can vary, so it is not always vegan.
Riboflavin can be produced by fermentation or other processes; the manufacturing source is not confirmed here.
Vitamin B12 is commonly produced by microbial fermentation, but its carrier and manufacturing source are not stated.
Vitamin D3 is often derived from lanolin unless another source is stated.

Nutri-Score is the grade reported in the source, not a score calculated or certified by us. NOVA describes processing. The Veganory indicator is a separate estimate; it does not determine whether a product is vegan.

How our indicator is calculated
When available, Nutri-Score A–E maps to 92, 74, 55, 34 or 16 points. With NOVA present, we combine 80% of those points with 20% of the processing indicator (100, 82, 52 or 16 for groups 1–4). Without NOVA we use the nutrition points alone. Without a usable Nutri-Score, we do not rate the product. This is a simplified comparison aid, not a validated health assessment.

Questions about this product
Is this answer valid for every General Mills product?
No. This page covers General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios, barcode 0016000124950. Other flavours, package versions or recipes sold in different countries may differ. Match the barcode and ingredient list on your package.
What still needs to be confirmed?
The source of flavourings, Minerals, niacin, retinyl palmitate, vitamin A, riboflavin, vitamin b12, vitamin d3 needs clarification. Check the current package for a vegan certification or ask the manufacturer about these exact ingredients. A confidence label is not a certification.
Is the nutrition rating the same as the vegan result?
No. Vegan status concerns ingredient origin. Nutri-Score describes a nutrition profile, NOVA describes processing, and the Veganory score is our own combination of available indicators. A vegan result does not mean a food is nutritionally balanced.
What if my label is different?
