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.

Yes, different breakfast cereals can contain varying amounts of iron. Some cereals are fortified with iron to help meet daily nutritional needs, while others may not contain as much iron. It's important to check the nutrition labels to see how much iron is in a specific cereal.
because you normally eat cereal in the morning for breakfast and the iron gives you energy to help you get through the day :)
It really depends on the type of cereal.
Eggo cereal is about 25% Iron in the 12 servings.
Iron is readily available in red meat, poultry, and insects, but is also common in edible plants. Some iron-rich foods include include beans, leafy vegetables, pistachios, tofu, and fortified breakfast cereal.
It is possible yes, because the iron in the cereal 'batter' is raw elemental iron (in trace proportions) rather than a non-magnetic compound. However you'd have to blend the cereal into dust first to liberate the traces of iron. There is not nearly enough iron on one flake for the flake themselves to be attracted to a magnet.
Breakfast cereals are known to be fortified with minerals and vitamins with metallic origin. For example, your cereal may have magnesium or iron in it. The cereal company intentionally puts these metallic ingredients in micro amounts to help make a more complete breakfast.
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.
The iron in total cereal is elemental iron shavings which can be extracted from the cereal with a strong magnet after it has been ground to a powder and mixed with water.
