CORN FLAKES EXPOSED! What's Really Going on in Those Factories? This is How Cornflakes Are Made!

Cornflakes are popular and mass-produced due to their convenience, affordability, and long shelf life. As a quick and easy breakfast option, they cater to busy lifestyles and are widely accessible. The mass production process allows for consistent quality and cost efficiency, making cornflakes an affordable choice for consumers. Their versatility, often paired with milk, fruit, or yogurt, adds to their appeal. Additionally, marketing strategies and their status as a staple in many households have reinforced their popularity. The simple, crunchy texture and mild flavor make them appealing to a wide range of tastes, further driving their demand. The production begins with cleaning and conditioning the corn, followed by cooking in rotary cookers where water and flavoring agents are added. The kernels are washed, cooled, and flattened by rollers to form the familiar flake shape, then air-dried and toasted for a crispy texture. Quality checks ensure uniformity, after which the flakes are cooled, weighed, packaged, sealed, and labeled. Finally, the packages are boxed, stacked onto pallets, and prepared for distribution or storage.

[@marshalllarson8970]

Seeing workers walking among the flakes in BARE FEET makes me want to run right out to buy some flakes!!!

[@MarkSentMe]

They're made from corns!

[@15743_Hertz]

And that's where cornflakes get their distinct smell of foot odor.

[@leonardodalongisland]

Everything done in India is dirty.

[@RestorationWatch]

Bare feet, bare hands, and sweaty arm pits with workers wearing singlets and no masks. Third World food for First World countries. I need to go throw up now.

[@leonardodalongisland]

@@RestorationWatch I've got to believe that the C.F. we eat in America are made in America-I hope

[@jfmorty]

Apart from being a rather disjointed video, I was amused to see the cornflakes being packed into bags labelled "Dehydrated garlic flakes" (at 12:51) and marked as "Product of China" whilst later the flakes are shown as being from Columbia. The Smart Farm is really a Stupid Farm which likes misleading titles to it's videos

[@chickenwing111]

I don't think flip-flops in the flake factory are up to US FDA standards either.

[@bser3973]

Years ago I read, If you eat corn flakes for breakfest you'll get more vitamins from eating the BOX.

[@mrolavaughn5447]

The first 5 min 46 sec of this Video show the preparation of cobs of fresh sweet corn ( cut to a desired length ) for FREEZING, which will next be packaged-up for sale as Frozen ( Sweet ) Corn on the Cob. This portion of the Video has NOTHING TO DO with individual kernels of corn that must be dried-down to a 12% moisture level for safe room temperature storage in bulk, and to allow for their grinding into flour. It is completely absurd to suggest that corn, Still In _Green_ Husks, has been brought into a such a facility just to be turned into corn flour.

[@randybird9979]

as fake as cnn

[@alext8828]

Was that subsequently?

[@kenpeken1276]

So happy to see people walking on the corn flakes with dirty feet. Adds that special flavor.

[@flipperfryer]

That's how they are Salted

[@Ethan.Lamoureux]

This is how food is prepared in India. Indians prefer their food off the floor, like animals. They do everything on the floor, even eating their meals there. They don’t know what furniture is. Later you see a much nicer factory in Colombia, demonstrating how most of the world prepares food. The Colombian factory packages its cereal into hermetically sealed plastic bags which are then placed in cardboard boxes for shipping. The Indian factory simply shovels the cereal off the floor into cardboard boxes. Plastic bags are too expensive, and don’t add the necessary cardboard flavor to the flakes.

[@richardwallinger1683]

what happened to the flavour enhancing beetles which were running around on the corn cobs euk. .

[@nunyabidness117]

Most definitely not in the U.S.

You will watch this entire video and still not know how corn flakes are made in America.

[@jeffreygamer314]

9 out 14 minutes of this video are not about corn flakes

[@cw4608]

And those unrelated minutes are repetetive explanations of cob sorting and cleaning unrelated to corn flakes.

[@jeffreygamer314]

@@cw4608 and if you notice in the video at around 4:15 it clearly switches from corns cut into 3/4th the original shape from what I see to full corns with the corn clothes removed,once again at 5:49 it switches to a different factory with a different style of corn, and lastly if you see at around 5:30- 9:05 it is talking about corn flour/maize powder. So yeah 9 of 14 minutes are not about corn flakes.

[@jeffreygamer314]

also also at like 9:05 it shows full kernels not corn powder.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

looks like some of this process is about feed corn not corn for human consumption.

[@BartlettTFD]

Unfortunately I had to give it a 👎. The video SHOULD have been about the making of corn flakes as the title suggests. Instead, we’re seeing how corn is processed for sale as small cut ears. Not about corn flake production until the last segment. Very disappointing and misleading❗️

[@geraldeaton4459]

I'm sure I saw a few times where the workers ... Inside the cereal factory, using bare hands on the products during the process.

[@Stanb662000]

handling raw product with bare hands does not increase the risk to any great degree as the cooking process is what actually sterilises the product from any pathogens. Being a dry product there's little risk of later bacterial contaminants growing to a level posing any risk - In the west we are just conditioned to think that wearing gloves is somehow more Hygienic where in reality, unless they are changed almost continuously they make little difference

[@Ethan.Lamoureux]

You forgot to mention the feet. But don’t worry, that’s just food for consumption in India or Pakistan where people eat off the floor.

[@Gallowaylights]

Another AI generated video all mixed up😢

[@Starphot]

Misleading video. Looks like footage from Indian, Pakistani and Mexican factories I seen from machinery videos. European and American factories of any kind are harder to get footage from their operations. Corn flakes are not made from sweet corn either. That corn is frozen or canned. The dry field corn is used to make meal after it is processed to bring out the nutrients and that is used to make corn flakes and chips. In the US, more nutrients are added to most cereals. See the ingredients list on the cereal box.

[@TheBirdandEagle]

Man, after seeing this I think I will not be eating corn flakes. Scary processing method.

[@nataliegist2014]

Look up why dr. Kellogg developed cornflakes and you decently won’t.

How often is the equipment cleaned? Looks like never. As a child I discovered that processed cereals, with all their sugar and other cr@p kept upsetting my stomach, so on my own, I stopped eating them, except once in a blue moon. I will occasionally buy whole grains, like Kamut or ground organic corn flour. I will have hot bowls of kamut either sweetened or as a savory for several days. I will cook up batches of stone ground corn mush, usually as a savory and have it several days in a row. I like cooked whole grains and stone ground corn mush much better than those awful processed cereals. I'm in my mid-60s now, so I've been doing this for several decades.

LOL. The narrator keeps calling every procedure the "Corn cob." Where I come from, it's just called corn or corn on the cob until the kernel is removed. Then, what you have left is the corn cob. By the way, a dry corn cob makes a good butt wiper. Just don't get too carried away with it. It will leave a rash. Ever hear the phrase. "Rough as a cob." That's where it comes from. Ladies, use extreme caution.😮 😅
