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

HS code 190410 covers a range of food preparations made by swelling or roasting cereals or cereal products. These products are widely used in the food industry, serving as ingredients in various processed foods, snacks, and breakfast items. The global trade in these cereal-based preparations is significant, reflecting their importance in the broader food supply chain and consumer preferences for convenient, ready-to-eat food options.

Production process

The production of food preparations under HS code 190410 typically involves a process of swelling or roasting the cereal grains or products. This can be achieved through techniques such as extrusion, puffing, or flaking, which use heat, pressure, and/or mechanical force to transform the raw materials into the desired puffed, expanded, or flaked texture. The specific production methods may vary depending on the type of cereal used and the desired end product characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of HS code 190410 food preparations include various types of cereal grains, such as wheat, corn, rice, or oats. Manufacturers may also use other ingredients like sugars, fats, or flavorings to enhance the taste and texture of the final products. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, puffing guns, or flaking mills, is essential for the swelling or roasting process that transforms the raw materials into the desired food preparations.

Production outputs

The food preparations covered by HS code 190410 are widely used as ingredients in a range of other processed food products, including 190420 Prepared foods obtained from unroasted cereal flakes or from mixtures of unroasted cereal flakes and roasted cereal flakes or swelled cereals, 190430 Bulgur wheat, and 190490 (Cereals, other than maize (corn), in grain form, pre-cooked or otherwise prepared).
