Kellogg’s latest addition to their line of Frosted Flakes cereals, Frosted Flakes Chocolate Peanut, is hitting stores, and it’s full of peanuts and maybe too much chocolate? No, I just remembered that’s impossible.

What is Frosted Flakes Chocolate Peanut?

So, what’s in this new cereal? Not peanuts! Nope, instead the new Frosted Flakes flavor features the traditional milled corn Frosted Flakes flavored with cocoa and semisweet chocolate (enough that the box boasts that the cereal “makes delicious chocolately milk”) along with peanut flavoring.

If the peanut flavor is artificial, is it safe for people with a peanut allergy?

You might think so, since the one thing missing from the ingredients is “actual peanuts.” The box describes it as “artificially peanut flavored” and the online nutritional listing says that the cereal “Does not contain Declaration Obligatory Allergens,” which would definitely include peanuts.

But there’s a serious risk of cross contamination in cereal manufacturing, so unless a box specifically says that it was manufactured in a dedicated facility, I wouldn’t chance it. And if you’re looking, here’s a list of cereals that do meet those requirements for different allergens, including peanuts.

Where can you get the new Frosted Flakes Chocolate Peanut?

This new cereal does not appear to be a store exclusive. So far, it’s been spotted at Target and Walmart. No official word as to when we can expect this cereal to make its nationwide debut. Let us know if you spot it!
