Other cereal grain products (including corn flakes)

cpc code 23140 covers a diverse range of cereal grain products, including the ubiquitous corn flakes. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing essential carbohydrates and nutrients to consumers worldwide. As a key component of many breakfast foods and snacks, the products under this code contribute significantly to the broader food and beverage industry.

The production of other cereal grain products, such as corn flakes, typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw grains are cleaned, sorted, and processed to remove any impurities. They are then cooked, flattened, and toasted to achieve the desired texture and flavor. In some cases, additional ingredients like sugar, salt, or vitamins may be added to enhance the product's taste and nutritional profile.

The main inputs required for the production of other cereal grain products include the raw cereal grains themselves, such as 10110 Wheat, 10120 Corn, 10130 Barley, and 10140 Oats. Additionally, manufacturers may require specialized equipment like grain mills, flaking machines, and ovens to process the raw materials into the final products.

The primary outputs of this industry are a wide range of ready-to-eat cereal products, including corn flakes, puffed grains, and other breakfast cereals. These outputs are often consumed as part of a balanced diet and may be further processed or incorporated into other food products, such as 23210 Bread and bakery products and 23220 Biscuits and crackers.
