Traffic light food labelling is important because they can help you make better choices of food products, and keep a record of the amounts of sugar, salt and fats that you are eating in your foods. It is really important to know and understand cereal nutrition value, so that you can make informed choices about the breakfasts you and your children will be eating. The nutrition facts labels offer key information about the nutrients the cereals contain, which all impact your health. Nutrition labels are a way to support your personal dietary requirements and needs, by being able to choose foods that contain more of the nutrients you want and less of those that you may need to limit. Which is why having a traffic light system in place for nutrition facts label enables you to make easier choices, with less worry. ## WHAT ARE NUTRITIONAL TRAFFIC LIGHTS? The traffic light system for food is a good way to compare products, make healthier choices and eat a balanced diet. The red, amber and green colours show, at a glance, whether a product is high, medium or low in fat, saturated fat, sugar or salt. If a product has less red and more green than another, it’s often the healthier choice.

Over the past 10 years we have removed 59 million teaspoons of sugar and 3 million teaspoons of salt\* from our cereals, keeping the same great taste. What’s more, we’ve increased the wholegrain content too. Our cereals contain 106 million more servings of whole grains (1700 tonnes) in 2020 compared to 2010. That’s equivalent to around 170 blue whales! ## HOW WE HAVE IMPROVED OUR CEREALS The sugar and salt reductions we’ve achieved are evidence of our long-term commitment and ambitious plans to improve the nutritional value of our cereals. Our journey began in 2003, and our priority has been to maintain the same great taste consumers know and love, while simultaneously providing options that are convenient, affordable and tasty. We’ve found little and often to be the most successful method of product renovation – the salami slice approach. It means we’ve been able to increase whole grain content in parallel to reducing sugar. For example, back in 2003, Golden Nuggets contained no whole grain at all, and now it’s the number one ingredient. This approach marks our commitment to constant improvement and providing breakfast meals with key fibre and micronutrients to millions of people in the UK. We also found that making our cereal traffic light food labelling system nutrition labels clearer and more concise, easier to read and understand promotes better choices from our customers and the likelihood of making healthier choices.
