About prepared foods obtained by the swelling or roasting of cereals or cereal products (e.g. corn flakes); cereals, not maize (corn), in grain form or in the form of flakes or other worked grains, from bulgur wheat

HS code 190430 covers a diverse range of prepared food products obtained through the swelling or roasting of cereals and cereal-based ingredients. These products, which include popular items like corn flakes, play a significant role in the global food industry, catering to consumer demand for convenient, shelf-stable, and often nutritious breakfast and snack options. This industry's output is closely linked to broader trends in the 100000 Cereals and 110000 Milled products; malt; starches; inulin; wheat gluten sectors.

Production process

The production of HS 190430 items typically involves a combination of processing techniques, such as extrusion, puffing, and roasting. Cereals, grains, and other raw materials are first cleaned, sorted, and prepared. They are then subjected to high heat and pressure to induce expansion, gelatinization, and other transformative effects, resulting in the characteristic puffed, flaked, or otherwise modified textures and shapes of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry include various types of cereals, such as wheat, rice, and oats, as well as other grains like bulgur. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as extruders, puffing guns, and roasting ovens, are also essential for the production process. Additives like sugars, salts, and flavorings may be incorporated to enhance the taste and appeal of the final products.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS 190430 include a wide range of ready-to-eat or ready-to-cook cereal-based foods, such as corn flakes, puffed rice, and other breakfast cereals. These products are often consumed as part of a balanced diet and may be further processed or incorporated into other food items, such as 190410 (Prepared foods obtained by the swelling or roasting of cereals or cereal products (for example, corn flakes)) or 190420 Prepared foods obtained from unroasted cereal flakes or from mixtures of unroasted cereal flakes and roasted cereal flakes or swelled cereals.
