Answer: puffed wheat, sugar, dry milk powder, salt , red food coloring

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a cereal bar, the major constituent or ingredient should be listed first.

Without the puffed wheat the cereal bar cannot be considered as a cereal bar therefore, the puffed wheat has to come first because it is the major ingredient in the making of a cereal bar. puffed wheat is a cereal.

The next ingredient can be sugar, dry milk powder, salt red food coloring.

The mass of each ingredient doesn't really matter in the arrangement.
