This group of grains & starches foods crosses 30% of a daily limit in at least one mineral, which puts them at the top of the caution list for stage 3-4 CKD. They are best reserved for small, infrequent servings — or swapped for the lower-risk alternatives shown on each food page. Examples in this list include leavening agents, cereals ready-to-eat and cereals ready-to-eat. For any of these foods, the food page shows exact phosphorus, sodium and potassium values per 100 g plus the share of the daily limit — use that before deciding on a portion.
