Vitamin K is not found in large quantities in breakfast cereals and baked goods. Oatmeal has approximately 3 mcg (micrograms) of vitamin K per serving, a low level that doesn't interfere with medications such as warfarin (generic of Coumadin®), but also doesn't provide the vitamin's associated benefits, such as helping the body absorb calcium or aiding with blood clotting or healing.

Use the following figures as a general guide for evaluating the vitamin K content of foods:

Low: 0-10 micrograms per serving

Medium: 11-24 micrograms per serving

High: 25 micrograms or more per serving

Doctors advise against micromanaging your micrograms, unless medically recommended.

It is possible yes, because the iron in the cereal 'batter' is raw elemental iron (in trace proportions) rather than a non-magnetic compound.

While iron is commonly used in structural applications like car bodies and ferris wheels due to its strength and durability, it is also used in food fortification to address iron deficiencies. The iron added to breakfast cereal is typically in the form of iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate, which are easily absorbed by the body to help prevent conditions like anemia.
