I believe that you can get some breakfast cereals (corn flakes basically) that are low in added salt. It's not Kellogg's and is probably a supermarket own-brand. They list the salt content on the box, so you can check next time you're at the shops. If not, then LHBSs sell flaked maize (as does BarleyBottom). That's what I ended up using last time.

You should be able to find flaked rice and flaked maize with zero additives in your local healthfood shop. Not sure about the price though.

flaked rice can be got at sainsurys for about 50p for 500gm , flaked maize from any home brew shop or online shop for pennies, i wouldnt bother with alternatives as a devout dave line disciple :D

are you wanting to use Flaked Maize but having trouble finding it ?
You might try an agricultural or stock feed place. Better still an equine stock feed outfit. I sourced FM this way, and its as cheap as chips. I tend to use a bit more than the recipe calls for as the crush is quite coarse. Where a recipe states a kilo, I use 1.5.
Hopp.
