About food preparations; obtained by the swelling or roasting of cereals or cereal products

HS code 190410 covers a diverse range of food preparations made by swelling or roasting cereals or cereal products. These products are widely consumed globally and play a significant role in the international food trade. They are used as breakfast cereals, snacks, and ingredients in various processed food items, making them an integral part of the broader food and beverage industry.

Production process

The production of food preparations under HS code 190410 typically involves a combination of swelling and roasting techniques. Cereals or cereal products are first cleaned, sorted, and prepared for processing. They are then subjected to controlled heating and pressure to induce swelling and puffing, resulting in the desired texture and appearance. Roasting may also be employed to enhance flavor and crispiness. The final products are often shaped, coated, or further processed to meet specific market requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of HS code 190410 food preparations include various types of cereals, such as 100190 wheat, 100300 barley, 100590 maize, and 100700 sorghum. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, roasters, and packaging equipment, is also essential for the manufacturing process. Additives, such as flavorings, preservatives, and vitamins, may be incorporated to enhance the final product's characteristics.

Production outputs

The food preparations covered by HS code 190410 are primarily used as breakfast cereals, snacks, and ingredients in a wide range of processed food products. They may be consumed directly or used as components in 190420 prepared foods obtained from unroasted cereal flakes, 190430 bulgur, whether or not in the form of grains, and 190490 other cereal grains, swelled or roasted. The versatility of these products makes them valuable inputs for the 210690 food preparations not elsewhere specified industry.
