- The "Meal Facts" panel on Kid Cuisine All Star Chicken Breast Nuggets advertises "white meat chicken, excellent source of protein, no artificial colors or flavors." Yet 38 percent of its calories come from fat.
- Apple Jacks touts its high fiber and low fat content, but derives 48% of its calories fromsugar—its primary ingredient.
