Actually, the amount would be very easy to figure out because Baking Soda contains Sodium. Take the amount of Sodium and figure that for every 274mg of Sodium in the Cereal, there is <1g of Baking Soda. Since ingredients are listed in descending order, if Baking Soda appears before HFCS, there would have to be less HFCS than Baking Soda. Based on the typical amount of Baking Soda in Biscuits, there'd be <0.625g of HFCS per serving.
Code:
Sodium Content
-------------- > Quantity of Baking Soda
0.274
Sodium Content
-------------- > Quantity of Salt
0.388
Sodium Content is in milligrams (mg) and Baking Soda/Salt Content is in grams (g.)
