Pin the exact box
The product is Frosted Flakes Original 13.5 oz, UPC 038000199042. The manufacturer-linked SmartLabel uses GTIN 00038000199042. Kroger displayed$2.99, reduced from$4.29, in its default Rolla locker-pickup context at 605 W 4 th St. Pickup, Kroger delivery and all delivery were unavailable. We keep a dated public quote, not an available purchase or a national sale entitlement.
Read the nutrition columns
Official SmartLabel reports 1 cup 37 g and 130 calories for cereal alone. Dry total and added sugars are both 12 g. With¾cup skim milk, the displayed energy is 200 calories and total sugars 22 g, while added sugars remain 12 g. This prepared figure has a specific milk and amount. It cannot be copied to oat drink, whole milk or an arbitrary bowl.
Do not borrow a nearby price
A Walmart research path surfaced$3.98, but readable context attached that amount to other recommended products, not the selected Original. We excluded it. Direct access produced a human-verification response; we did not bypass it or call it a successfully read product page. The comparison therefore uses the clearly attributed Kroger quote and its unavailable status.
Check the claim that matters
Ingredients include milled corn, sugar, malt flavor, small amounts of salt and vitamins/minerals. A mandatory-allergen declaration field is not a verified gluten-free claim. We leave that status unestablished rather than infer it from absence of a wheat declaration. Confirm the physical current package and an available local offer before treating this as a substitute.
Keep the unavailable quote useful
An unavailable sale can still help you recognize a previously displayed price or decide what to recheck locally. It cannot justify saying an order can be placed now. If another store offers the exact UPC,record its actual price and fulfillment separately. A higher available quote and a lower unavailable quote can both be accurate observations. The practical conclusion is to verify a purchasable offer rather than erase the availability field to preserve a cheap headline.
